UChicago v Princeton -- maybe.

interesting. I think my son would be happier at Chicago–he also values the core and the research opportunities. His college counselor says that Chicago has everything Princeton has and isn’t stuck in the last century. He visited over snowdays and liked it tremendously. I think it will be very affirming to meet other admitted students on sunday. He has a keen sense of the kind of social environment he wants and that seems (to me) more Chicago than Princeton.
