For my and other ignorant ones' benefit -- Why Yale??

How in God’s name do you say that x is better than y and by a slight margin? I’m sorry but it’s all nonsense. Unless you actually go to both schools, you’re absolutely guessing. Sure Princeton has fewer graduate students but Yale & Harvard have more resources and thus more to put into undergraduate education and, in addition, they attract professors because they work with grad students. Bottom line is no one knows and these are impressions only.

<p>So what if they’re impressions? That’s exactly what I said…these are the reasons I picked Yale. I visited all three, spoke to students and friends there, and I also have two parents that graduated from Princeton. I had a professor at Yale, a Harvard graduate, tell me that “Yale undoubtedly has a better undegrad experience than Harvard.” It’s hardly “guesswork,” however.</p>

Harvard has its clubs, Princeton its eating clubs and Yale its societies.

75% of Princeton upperclassmen are in eating clubs. The number of Yale kids in secret societies is minuscule in comparison.</p>
