[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Residential college system at Yale was more appealing to me than eating clubs at Princeton but your daughter may feel the opposite. [/quote]

+1000 from another Yalie

The residential colleges are randomly assigned, you don't have to apply like a fraternity - which turned me off of the eating clubs[/quote]

Yale has all sorts of selective clubs, including the infamous "secret societies"; if anything, they are more overtly exclusive than Princeton eating clubs.  [/quote]

Half the eating clubs are sign in, meaning anyone can sign up. It’s really a non issue and it starts junior year. I know plenty of Princeton grads who weren’t in a club… they chose to be independent or in coops. All freshmen and sophomores eat in dining halls and that’s plenty of time to find friends. It’s the least of my concerns. [/quote]

I would also not be overly concerned with the secret societies at Yale.  There are quite a few for seniors and if you want to be in one you can find one to be in.

You're not going to be in skunk bones or cottage eating club but so what?   Those things are not a good reason to choose one or the other for the vast majority of students.

They're both fantastic options. I would choose based on the academic programs in your major.[/quote]
