Oranges and Apples: Princeton and Chicago

<p>Except . . . if you opened your eyes? Of course the students look basically the same. (Well, not really. Dress standards at Princeton seem much higher, much preppier to me. Some of that may be the locals.) But Princeton is landscape-architectured to within an inch of its life. Everywhere you turn, there are some spiffy plantings, some groomed flower bed, a strategically planted copse. And then, there are streets. The Chicago campus has streets criss-crossing it. Princeton – there’s one street running through the campus (with restricted access), and a bunch of paths for golf carts.</p>
