What is Princeton University best known for?

Princeton has a distinguished record in science. It was one of three sites in the U.S. that worked on controlled nuclear fusion (NOT cold fusion) in a significant way, and it was, of course, Einstein’s university after he left Germany.

Generalizations are not a good guide, incidentally. Pick the three persons you most admire in your field of interest and look up where they work. That will be a better (and probably cheaper) way to choose your school.

Princeton Physics for the Prospective Undergraduate.

Physics continues to be one of Princeton’s greatest strengths. We have a faculty with diverse interests, ranging from string theory and cosmology to condensed matter and biophysics. Our undergraduate program is distinguished by a commitment to teaching at all levels and by our program of junior and senior independent work.

If writing is your choice of working,then Princeton would be a fine choice for a school.

Princeton actually does have an excellent creative writing minor, but most prestigious schools have at least decent English programs with workshop opportunities. Take a look at some course catalogs and see what classes appeal to you most.
