“I’ve heard much about Princeton’s supposed reputation as an elitist, rich white boys’ school.”

This is a long dead stereotype, as you can see by looking at the statistics. For instance, Princeton has the same male to female ratio Stanford (namely, ~50/50), and is just as diverse. That and a large majority of Princeton students get (significant) financial aid.

Same goes for Princeton being conservative. Of course there are conservative students on campus (as there’s every kind of student on campus), but the general lean is left.

I really think you should visit each if possible - there’s no replacement for getting a sense of the environment than by being there :)
