<p>I gotta disagree here. There’s tons of Urban Outfitter clothes on campus (even if there’s no store across the street), as well as jeans and grungy sweatpants. </p>
<p>I think that FightTheTide is correct. There are a number of times at Princeton when kids like to dress up. They think it’s fun. They know the stereotypes of the campus (they are very self-aware) and they like playing around with them sometimes.</p>
<p>I actually don’t think it means that most of the kids are any more preppy than at similar schools. As FightTheTide has pointed out, it’s fun to ditch the grungy t-shirts sometimes.</p>
<p>However, when someone visits who has a particular vision of Princeton as a preppy haven, seeing kids dressed up reinforces their stereotypes. And while I have no particular problem with your posts, I do get the impression that you have some preconceived notions about Princeton (I really don’t mean to be offensive here, it’s just my view of your posts).</p>
