Supplemental Essay Unique question posed by school
534 Words
One of the most important duties of any person is service. Service allows us to use our strengths and skills in order to aid others. Living solely for one’s own benefit and satisfaction is the epitome of self-serving, and living in such a manner demonstrates a disregard for others. “Princeton in the nation’s service and in the service of all nations.” Is the recently modified version of Princeton’s motto and emphasizes the importance of helping those in...

What I like about my school’s location and culture
258 Words
Princeton, NJ is a suburb with very low crime rates. There are places to go off campus like restaurants or a movie theater, but there is so much to do on campus that you rarely have the time to go off campus. When there is really nothing interesting going on on campus (usually during the breaks when most people go home) Philadelphia and NYC are readily accessible. Princeton University even subsidizes trips to Broadway that makes it...
