The CEO of Google is a Princeton graduate, and his kid a current sophomore. The CEOs of Amazon and eBay are Princeton grads. So. Geographic proximity is a little bitty part of this. Please don't start saying dumb things guys.
*whoosh* Way to completely miss the point of argument.

Half of my professors commute to Princeton from New York every day...I think its commutable mind you, AND our train station is practically on campus . Again your argument is not a good one Hrteeexz.
Stanford's train station is practically on campus too, and it's just as accessible as any old classroom.

But I hope you do realize professors have less of an obligation to actually be on campus than undergraduates? You do realize undergraduates have to juggle classtime with work time and extracurriculars and regular old socializing?

After all, I know a professor at Yale who lives in the Bay Area. He teaches at YALE and he lives in the Bay Area. What you're saying is not much.

But really, the argument is getting sidetracked here. Though there may be the odd pickle that commutes occasionally for whatever reason, you know just as well as I that job/internship opportunities available in NYC or Philadelphia are hardly feasible for undergraduates studying at Princeton.
