[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.

You can do a group sign-in with friends, and you'll all be placed together. Last year, every one who wanted a spot in an eating club was placed. It's also fun to have friends spread out in different eating clubs and dining options. You don't eat every single meal at your club - you also eat out, in the dining halls, at the student center, and you certainly eat with different people, not the same ones every meal! The student center was bustling when we visited a few weeks ago.

Again, all freshmen and sophomores eat in dining halls in their residential colleges. Eating clubs are for upperclassmen (along with co-ops, dining hall plan, etc.)

I don't have an issue with Yale clubs or the Princeton eating clubs. DC is headed to Princeton. [/quote]

someone else just posted that it can happen[/quote]
