All the Ivies and “elite” colleges have a wide streak of elitism running through them. Otherwise special dating apps for Ivy League graduates wouldn’t be a thing.

However, that really doesn’t matter - if Princeton is a good fit otherwise, the fact that many students at Princeton are elitist should not be a deterrent. The advantage of elitism among other students who are attending a school like Princeton is that it is really easy to avoid spending time with them, and it is easy to avoid being an elitist.

At every college there are groups with crappy attitudes and unpleasant personalities. You avoid hanging out with them and you avoid behaving like them - you don’t avoid the college.
