I just got a big packet in the mail from Princeton today? I know their academics are first rate, but how is their baseball and facilities?

You should probably PM BeenthereIL. I believe his son is a jr. there. I don't see him posting as regularly as he used to but he's very informative.
OK thank you!
I have a good friend whose son is a freshman there now. Princeton was always his "dream" school, though for academic reasons. Playing baseball for him was the icing on the cake.
I think they have a very competitive baseball team, at least in the Ivy League. I don't know much about their facilities but if you don't get what you need from BeenthereIL, PM me and I'll see if I can link you up with my friend for more info.
It is my understanding that they do not give baseball scholarships, despite being Division I. Just so you'll know!

If I understood correctly, the Ivy League does not allow athletic scholarships. Some schools, and it may be leaguewide, do however have a very liberal need based program,
All they have is need based money---no academic or athletic money
Virtually everyone gets a ton of "need based" money.
I think that Princeton will soon go the way of Harvard...If your family makes $80,000 or less per year...it is virtually FREE.
At Princeton, last I looked, you got a ton of financial aid unless your family net income is over $483,000.00. In which case you don't qualify for their own endowed financial aid.
Lack of money will not keep you out of the Ivies.
Lack of academic achievement will. Very competitive academically.

JP,
Did Ryan give up ball?

S...
No. He's had some off field issues to resolve.
They've been resolved...couldn't get done in time for this season.

Thanks for all the input.
they have a lot of money-so id think they would some pretty good facilities, i think they do. They attract great talent/top students all over the country-as you can tell from their roster, so look for some tough competition in both baseball and academics.
