Question of the Week: “What are you looking forward to this school year?” (Asked on the Princeton University campus Saturday)
Joy: “It sounds cliched but I would say the resources and teachers because this is really a place where you can get a lot out of your education. I come from a smaller town and it just seems unbelievable.”
Laura: “I’m looking forward to some of the classes that seem fascinating. They’re on special topics that would never have been offered in a high school.”
Di: “I’m looking forward to meeting all the people. I think they’re all very motivated and passionate about learning and finding out about the world, which is one of the reasons I really wanted to come here.” —(Left to right) Joy Chen, Laura Demaio, Di Qi, all Princeton University, Class of 2018

Sarah: “I’m looking forward to making new friends and to the classes that are offered, like molecular biology. There is a really cool intro class in the spring.”
