Students say:
"When I first came to Prin last fall, I was a bit nervous and unsure of what to really expect out of college. Sure we have all heard the great college stories, but what was I in for? What would it really be like to live in a dorm with over 80 people my age? Well, Anderson House has proved my theories of college to be true. The people are amazing. The house is enormous and beyond beautiful; we are all spoiled. I could not have asked for a better place to live my first year in college. My classes have been challenging, but I love coming home to great friends and doing randomly fun things. It's a great house!" — Christine Curtis ('05)
