There is nine pages of this foolishness in the Rejecting Harvard thread. You don’t turn down Princeton for Pomona, that would be a regret. While you could be the “cool kid” that turned down big bad ivy for the “little LAC that could” it is simply not a wise choice. Some people I guess have the luxury of doing so and if you family is in the position financially for you to do so then I guess attending a cute little 4 yr hideaway from the diversity of the real world would be a cool vacation, but if we are talking opportunity and academics and exposure to world leaders and students from all over the globe (beyond just a single token one) then Princeton is the obvious choice. Why this is even a discussion is beyond me.
