[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

except secret societies are not a big part of the social fabric/experience at yale. at all. nothing like p-ton's eating clubs[/quote]

Maybe not for those excluded from the Yale clubs, lol. [/quote]

if your concern is kids being excluded from yale clubs that are really nbd, you should be even more concerned with exclusion from princeton's eating clubs. what happens if your kids' friends all get into the desired eating club and your kid does not? who are they going to eat all their meals with for 2 years? much bigger deal than the small group of Yale seniors who have 1 meeting one evening per week one year.

Alum here - this is not an issue. [/quote]

how so? [/quote]
