<p>Although I’m not attending Princeton, I do live in the town, and have also visited Cornell. I’m not going to touch on academic/social life at either school, since I have no real experience, but in terms of the “niceness” of campus, both are great. Princeton does have a gorgeous campus that does sit right next to a college town. Although the town of Princeton is extremely wealthy, I wouldn’t say that it doesn’t cater to the Princeton University crowd. Both the campus and the town are beautiful, and I’m sure you’d love it there.</p>
<p>That said, especially as an architecture major, I think Cornell is the place to be. Cornell was absolutely beautiful when I visited it, and I’ll be attending through GT.</p>
