[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]USN ranking is very suspect when it lists Princeton as first. Just the fact that Eating Clubs are so entrenched in their culture makes you wonder. Social mobility? What a joke.[/quote]

My kid goes there, I don't know that I would say the Eating Clubs are "so entrenched".  Plenty of people do not join and many of the eating clubs are open to everyone. 
Also Princeton has pretty amazing financial aid (all grant no loans, and any family <100k income gets financial aid).  They really do try to use their resources to help families.  
Of course there is still extreme wealth but that's life anywhere in the world of elite colleges. 
Princeton stays high on lists because of an extreme focus on undergrads and teaching.  It takes hard work to do well there.[/quote]

That’s your opinion. Here’s another from an actual Princeton student.

An angry woke piece by a student in a student newspaper is not a source worth citing[/quote]
But an anonymous poster on dcum is? LOL
