I’m an undergrad at Princeton, and I love it here. I disagree with Penn95 in that Princeton is definitely a dynamic/diverse campus. However, I will concede that Princeton can definitely be a bit wasp-y and very preppy. It is significantly smaller than Stanford, and in my opinion campus feels much more cozy/welcoming than Stanford’s. I’m also from California, so I was also a bit nervous about the weather, but it turns out that I’ve adapted quite well!
Due to Princeton’s smaller size, there is a really tight network of alumni that will help you in your career for the rest of your life.
In the end, they’re both great schools, so it just comes down to which campus/atmosphere you like better. Definitely try to visit both campuses if possible!
