“most hate it, some like it, but nobody loves it” - Well, the Princeton alumni giving rate is 62.5%, while the Stanford alumni giving rate is 35.6%. In my experience, students who don’t particularly enjoy a school are unlikely to turn into passionate giving alumni, which is what Princeton alumni are generally acknowledged to be.

As an alumna of Princeton and the parent of two Princeton students (one of whom is currently attending the school), most of the Princeton students and alumni I know absolutely love Princeton. The school has amazing caring professors, a truly thoughtful administration, a beautiful campus, and a fun active social life, and alumni return frequently and are incredibly loyal.

You have two wonderful choices and I wish you luck in your decision, but please believe that the vast majority of Princeton students and alumni have loved their time at Princeton and would choose it again in a heartbeat.
