[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Princeton and was shocked when I recently visited with my kid as literally a third of the campus has been torn down and is under contraction.  New is nice, of course, but as my kid pointed out,  these new buildings look generically like every other campus.  So points to Yale for campus ambience.  Personally have eliminated Princeton from my kid’s list due to bad reports from some current STEM students but may be fine for social science.[/quote]

There is a lot of new construction but it's certainly not 1/3 of the campus and the dorms that were torn down were among the least attractive on campus.  It's not like they are tearing down any of the Gothic dorms, and the newer dorms you call generic have features that older dorms often lack.

And Yale was certainly a construction site when Benjamin Franklin and Pauli Murray were getting built.  [/quote]

No need to be so defensive.  It felt like a third of the campus to me and I am pretty familiar with it, having grown up in the town.   It’s far more than the  removal of one set of dorms.  In any case, it will be complete in the next year or two.[/quote]
