go to princeton! My dad went there, my grandfather, both uncles, great uncle…etc and my big brother goes there. I can say with total conviction and authority that princetons alumni resources are parallel to none, any where in the world. Princetonians will break their neck for fellow grads and the university could not be more supportive of their students or alumni. Its the only place in the world that holds a 4day ruenion every yr for its alumni, regardless of reunion yr-just 2 give you an example. It also has more $ than it knows what 2 do w. If you want to take a yr off b4 freshamn year, it will pay for every expense of the year off- right now my brothers in patagonia backpacking kayaking and earning his wilderness 1st responder certification, and has deferred enrollment to be in the class of '12 instead of '11. It is literally looking for ways to spend $ on its students. you want to see a broadway play on the weekend? it’ll pay for the grade-a ticket, the train fare, and your dinner. As for vandy, my brother was caught between accepting the chancellors scholarship at vandy vs princeton, and he chose princeton. even w. the scholarship-valued at 152000 plus programs etc- he would still have 2 $ more for vandy than princeton, where he got a 16300 aid package. and vandy is very very very southern- if someone issnt upperclass they dedicate all their time and resources to faking it. girls act stupid even though they obviously aren’t. Trust me, Im from GA and most of my family is from nashville. Oh and expect wall to wall fundamentalists and conservatives-bush is very popular!
