<p>Mini: any thoughts on Princeton vs Williams for a girl who on a choir trip discovered she was a misshelved Brit and really wants to be at Oxford to read mathematics and philosophy and above all to sing alto in a college chapel choir. I know nothing about either philosophy or mathematics at Williams. Princeton is very good in both but if Oxford is your reference point would you (in Leacock’s terms) ‘get smoked at’ enough to become educated before you leave? How much contact with your profs would you really have in either place?</p>
