[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ds was very lucky to be admitted to both. went to princeton preview this tuesday, and enjoyed it. going to bulldog days next week. spia at princeton and cs+econ at yale. thoughts? we are leaning princeton but it feels weird to turn down yale -- its yale! but there's something about [b]new haven and the engineering departments[/b] at yale that are just off.[/quote]
High low on how quickly DC switches away from “formerly known as the Woodrow Wilson School but awaiting a bequest to rename the school” to Engineering/CS at Princeton? I give it 2 months. Yale is not happening. Try harder at weeding out your veiled techies, Princeton admissions lords.[/quote]

SPIA already has a fancy building with a name (Robertson Hall) and access to plenty of money that enables undergraduates to travel pretty much anywhere they want for summer research.  [b]Not sure[/b] they have to auction off naming rights.  [/quote]
With time comes certainty.[/quote]

Nah, they already have a significantly higher endowment per student than just about any other university, including Yale. [/quote]
There is a reason for that. Save this post: that former he-who-shall-not-be-named school will have a name of some sort within 10 years. [/quote]

Maybe it will, and maybe it won't, but if it does, the chances are just as high that it will be to honor someone than they will be that it's in connection with a major contribution.

I'd be perfectly happy if they renamed SPIA now as the Yovanovitch School of Public and International Affairs to honor the former ambassador to the Ukraine, a Princeton graduate who stood up to Rudy Giuliani and his stooges. [/quote]
Yes, very likely it will be to “honor” someone; that is still a naming rights auction.[/quote]
