[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our youngest is at Princeton.  It feels like there are far more rules and the administration is far less understanding and flexible compared to our oldest child's experience at another Ivy.  [b]For instance, Princeton students are forbidden from getting outside tutoring if they are having difficulty in a class (it is considered an honor code violation).  [/b]The students are supposed to use the student tutors provided by the school, but there aren't nearly enough to go around.  So a student having difficulties in a class who is unable to secure one of the few tutors is left to completely flounder or risk getting an honor code violation by seeking outside help.  That doesn't make sense to me.  [/quote]

You know what else doesn't make sense? They are ok with admitting kids who have legacy advantage, paid tutors throughout high school, test prep, parents propping up a nonprofit or similar, high-priced college consultants, but once admitted you're on your own.

It’s an equity issue. The students with $$ can get outside tutoring etc but those who are low income cannot. That is why they have this policy in place. [/quote]
