On a separate (but related) note, it amazes me how Princeton boosters go around extolling the glories of Princeton, how it's a bastion of egalitarianism and class blindness. No one on CC boosts as hard as Princetonites do, and honestly, I find a lot of it disingenuous.
Yes, I'm trying to pick a fight a little, but I think people should be more honest in how they try to help people pick their schools. Each school has its plusses and minuses, and people who have actually attended a school know better than anyone those plusses and minuses. It's important to help prospective students with honest, candid advice.
