The final stop on Devin’s college tour was Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey. I’d certainly heard of Princeton; I’ve always thought of it as being in the top five academic colleges in the country. I’ve been to Princeton Theological Seminary, too, but the seminary isn’t related to the university at all–both institutions are quite specific about that. Other than that, I didn’t really know anything about the university. I’d never visited the campus–or anything else in the area except for one event I had attended at the seminary.

It was a terrific experience all the way around. Terrific facilities—no doubt about that. Bigger campus than I was expecting; definitely bigger than the ones we’ve been visiting this week. Nice tour of the theater area, too. Turns out that theater isn’t a major there, though—only an emphasis, or minor.

Also, the football coaches never received Devin’s highlight DVD, which is a shame, because they already have most of their recruiting done. That said, we did get to meet a couple of coaches—the defensive back coach (Devin’s favorite position is safety) and the recruiting coordinator for our region, who was very cool. So there’s still a shot at Princeton, as well. Right now, Devin is leaning toward the smaller schools (probably as much because they want him so bad as anything else), but he said he could see himself happy at any of them, which is terrific, I think.
