[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you can't get an answer from 50-year old parents who have zero idea what the campuses are like in 2024.  They are attached to long ago stereotypes.  [/quote]

Princeton wasn't a mecca for STEM back then and now has a much more stressed out/competitive vibe, also much more into DEI.  Yale used to be the fun one.  Penn has remained 'business' king, but got some bad press and didn't look great in the hearings.  Dartmouth has trended from 'Animal house' to pushing to attract much more liberal (their 21 options for gender and mailings show this). Brown is no longer the crunchy/weird/hippy, it's one of those requiring scores and attracting more mainstream, athletic types that don't want the insane stress elsewhere.  Harvard with its poor new coverage, firing of President and alumni pulling donations has lost a bit of sheen.  Columbia and its encampments and hostility towards certain religions. Cornell is fairly typical but it was always more like a large univ/state feel 17k undergrads.

They are different places.  It's worth visits when classes are in session and a lot more research.    [/quote]
