[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP have you not been taking your son to reunions? Have him tour a week on prospect street. Seriously, that will set most kids straight -- not having to eat in a dining hall or cook as an upper classman but eating in a friggin mansion and then partying hard right after. [/quote]

Of course we have, ever since he was a baby. He actually likes the school and personality-wise he would fit in very well. His resistance comes from the fact that he is too proud and independent. He wants to strike out on his own. Plus this is probably a pushback on the years of expectation and pressure the family has put on him regarding Princeton. I am proud of him for thinking this way, but the whole situation has created a lot of friction within the family.

As another poster said above, Princeton really is a cult. Most Princeton alumni are insanely loyal and rabid when it comes to their alma mater. Our family admittedly takes it to the extreme. It is hard for non-tigers to understand. [/quote]
