Great campus, professors, and student body
Pros: - beautiful campus, especially in spring and fall - extremely generous financial aid policy. International students also enjoy need-blind application policy when requesting financial aid. - great undergraduate education. The number of graduate students is very small compared to other top Ivy League schools. The professors devote a lot of attention to undergraduate students. - not too far away from NYC. One only need to hop on a train and can get to NYC in 1.5hrs. Cons - if you enjoy a life outside of academics, Princeton can be boring. Places to hang out with fellow students outside of campus are limited, and one would need to go to NYC for a more vibrant life - can be somewhat isolated from the real world because of its nature as an elite college and the location. I would encourage students to actively seek out interactions with individuals outside the Princeton circle
Intellectually stimulating experience
Princeton is a stunning campus that provides an inspiring backdrop for its rigorous academic environment. The faculty and students alike contribute to a welcoming atmosphere, making it easy to feel at home. Most importantly, Princeton's academic strength and challenging curriculum create an intellectually stimulating experience that I truly appreciate. Overall, I'm thrilled to be a part of such a wonderful university.
Supportive environment
Princeton University is an exceptional college that provides its students with opportunities, particularly in the field of research. One of the most striking aspects of Princeton is the unique combination of humility and intellectual prowess among its students. This creates a stimulating and supportive environment for learning, making Princeton an ideal place to grow both academically and personally.

QS also considers the ratio of international teachers and students present at universities, as well as the times research papers were mentioned by researchers. After calculating and comparing these criteria, QS ranks the universities accordingly.
