[quote=Anonymous]Yes, Princeton is a small town, but NYC and Philly are both an hour and a bit train ride away (75 min NYC, 70 min Philly). Also, there are some nice rural areas around Princeton to hike and walk around. Because Princeton Township is not a rowdy happening place, there’s a rich campus life.

PP you don’t say which STEM field your daughter intends to study. Engineering and CS are tough tough tough majors at Princeton. Bio, Chem, Physics, Math are competitive in varying degrees but more manageable.

Princeton is more undergrad education-focused. It’s also a better resourced institution than Yale. Per capita, it has the biggest endowment of any US university.  $$$ to support research, travel, and free tutoring. Access to profs who are superstars in their field. Smaller numbers of students in the entering class and smaller school overall. Some will like that others won’t.

The alumni network is more enthusiastic and loyal than Yale’s. It’s not about reunions. It’s about people who will open professional doors for you because you’re a Tiger. Sorry, but ask any Yalie who’s seen the Princeton alumni network at work, and they’ll concede that. [/quote]
