[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]
Princeton does have a residential college system.  It is one of the reasons why I like Princeton.   Eating clubs are only for juniors and seniors.  Also, a student does not have to join an eating club if they don't want to.   I know many students who go independent, join co-ops, or who remain on the university dining plan.  There are many options for upperclassmen.  They are not forced to join an eating club.  When you enter Princeton first year students are automatically placed into a particular residential college and they can't join eating clubs anyway.

As a parent of a recent Yale graduate (2025) and a current student (sophomore) at Princeton. I have a better insight on the specifics of both institutions.  The OP can't go wrong with either school.  They are both similar in many ways, however I think Princeton is the better option for STEM majors.  I don't think a student would be at a disadvantage at either Yale or Princeton.  They are phenomenal institutions.   It really boils down to major, the structure of the programs and where the student wants to reside.   The resources, job placement, internship placement, and research opportunities at both schools are amazing.

Would you say the same for engineering majors (given STEM could include other science/math fields?).  Thank you for your insight.  Any thoughts on the grind at each institution?[/quote]
