More than likely you chose to attend Princeton because you are intellectually curious, and strive to be your very best self. While we encourage you to bring your curiosity and drive to campus, let's face it, Princeton courses are rigorous, and it is normal to find them difficult. Fortunately, there are many resources available on campus to help you master material and develop your skills. While we offer a wide range of resources, the choice to utilize them is completely yours!
