[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Residential college system at Yale was more appealing to me than eating clubs at Princeton but your daughter may feel the opposite. [/quote]

+1000 from another Yalie

[b]The residential colleges are randomly assigned, you don't have to apply like a fraternity[/b] - which turned me off of the eating clubs[/quote]
All first year students are randomly assigned to a residential college at Princeton.  You don't apply to residential colleges like a fraternity. I currently have a child and a niece there.

The misinformation on DCUM is quite exhausting.   Eating clubs have nothing to do with residential colleges at Princeton.  Eating clubs are for upperclassmen only.  Seniors and juniors do not have to join an eating club if they don't want to.

Let's repeat this again for those who have issues with comprehension.  Princeton has a residential college system.  Students are randomly assigned to a residential college.  All first year and sophomores at Princeton are automatically on the university dining plan.

Eating clubs are [b]ONLY[/b] for upperclassmen.  This is not mandatory.  If you want to join an eating club for your junior and senior year, then you can.  If you want to do any of the following options: remain on the university dining plan, go co-op, go independent, then you can do any of those choices as well.   I know many juniors and seniors who do not join eating clubs.  My niece is at Princeton, and she lives in one of those Victorian houses off campus with her co-op group.  Joining an eating club is a choice for [b]ONLY[/b] juniors and seniors.  Princeton will not force a student to join an eating club.  [/quote]

Thank you. And adding once more that about half the eating clubs are sign in- anyone can sign up to join. And again, these are just one dining option for upperclassmen only. [/quote]
