<p>well, HYP and CO are the 5 best institutions overall…</p>
<p>so… how easy is it to get involved with the “May Flower Kids” and become one of the blue bloods? is it easy to meet senator’s kids and meet very influential people? people that say, “damn, this kid did something right in his life [by going to an ivy]” ?</p>
<p>hahah it took me like 10 minutes to figure out what CO were. are there really that many people at these schools, realistically. cause i got the impression, at least at princeton, everyone was your ordinary (well not ordinary, really smart and interesting) kid.</p>
<p>Alumother’s mission</p>
<p>wat are co? cambridge/oxford? i think?</p>
<p>yeah</p>
<p>cambs and ox</p>
<p>hyp, co.</p>
<p>so there is no hope of any princetonian meeting future senators and presidnets?</p>
<p>a lot of the people appear ordinary, but when you actually get their family background you find out theyre not…</p>
<p>Rhamster - Rock on for your support.</p>
<p>mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
bosworth… definitely not ordinary 
jk</p>
<p>
And not going. Damn.</p>
<p>so… Princeton isn’t the place to find blue blood’s?</p>
<p>yale’s got the presidents</p>
<p>There are various members of famous families on campus. From what I hear, not surprisingly, they are interested in people who want to get to know them for their own sake.</p>
<p>Just remember the next president is going to be from Princeton </p>
<p>Senate majority Leader</p>
<p>(I’m a Democrat but I still believe he will end up being president)</p>
<p>prolly</p>
<p>here are two presidents:</p>
<p>James Madison
Woodrow Wilson</p>
<p>you think Frist could be it? maybe… he is good… i want to follow in his steps… M.D… then Pres or governor</p>
<p>can’t think of any… but yeah, Yale has a lot.</p>
<p>There’s more to choosing a college than hot girls and “blue bloods” (p.s. you cannot find MORE bluebloods than at princeton, mm?), don’t you think?</p>
<p>i would only pay extra for connections. do you think a ton of ppl are going to an ivy after paying a ton of cash? you can get the same experience at a state school. connections and name is what matters in this world.</p>
<p>when you go to a party, you want someone to say “damn, this kid did something right in his life”</p>
<p>just going to princeton and possiblity meeting a “connection” is /not/ what is going to make people say you did something right in your life. education is what you make of it.</p>
<p>and you do /not/ get the same experience at a state school. i go part time to the u of mn and trust me, there is nothing even partially comparable.</p>
<p>pick a school that you’ll be happy at, not one with superficial benefits, because if you just go for these seeming benefits, you’ll probably be more unhappy than you would have been at a local community college that you liked more but didn’t have the “magic”.</p>
<p>amnesia, what do you mean by this: “you go to a party, you want someone to say “damn, this kid did something right in his life””? General prestige factor?</p>
<p>Maybe this stuff has yet to filter up to us Canadians, but could somebody fill me in on the “Blue Bloods” thing?</p>
<p>blue blood = royal ansectory = highly affluent families (political or $$)
is it???</p>
