“Since my first visit to Princeton as a high school junior, I have always felt that this University is a magical place. With so many resources, the University can help you reach any goals you have for your years here. This booklet, Thriving at Princeton, is your starting guide for this journey. As a minority student, you will probably face challenges and obstacles that others may not encounter. However, there are several ways to overcome and thrive. Use this book as your first resource when you encounter obstacles, OR be proactive and consider its suggestions for how to thrive at Princeton. There is so much to gain from this booklet your first year here, and so much to gain from the University in general. Good luck with your year! Enjoy it as it will quickly pass.”
