Really different but equally amazing school. I feel Stanford is more vibrant, dynamic, diverse ( also the location helps in that), while Princeton has more of an old-school, ivory tower, traditional feel to it. Princeton is really waspy and attracts a big part of the kind of stuck up Northeast prep-school crowd a bit more than Stanford but nowadays many east coast kids choose to attend Stanford over some east coast Ivy so not sure if there is actually any huge difference in atmosphere. They are both excellent choices and I think it just comes down to fit so try to visit. It’s if possible and talk to alumni etc.
