My aunt was in the first co-ed class at Princeton. I ended up going there for grad school, and I wouldn't have even applied if not for my aunt asking my mom if I was considering Princeton.

Princeton wasn't even on my radar. But I applied and was accepted. To my surprise, I ended up loving it at visit day. I had assumed it was a snobby place, but it was chill.

Years later, I asked my aunt about her experience. She did not have much fondness for Princeton. She did not feel welcome there as an undergrad.

Much props to my Aunt Danille Taylor for blazing the trail and suffering continuous hostility from the Alito's of the world. Because of them, I got to have a much different experience.
