Visited Yale yesterday, not sure if it's better than Princeton or not

<p>I’m going to have to agree with the general consensus here that Yale is a warmer place, but the fact that this is in the Yale Forum probably means that most of the people here are more pro-Yale. </p>

<p>I’ve visited overnight at both Yale and Princeton, and my biggest issue about Princeton was that the entire social scene was centered on the eating clubs. I don’t really mind the eating clubs per se, but I couldn’t find anything else to do there. I think this will change a bit with the new residential college that is being built, but the fact that a lot of students are complaning about the university trying to draw students away from the eating clubs says something. I found that Yale, on the other hand, had much friendlier and happier, and the party scene was much more diverse than it was at Princeton. </p>

<p>So, if you can, visit both for a weekend (preferably not during the revisit days - I know at least at Princeton alcohol is banned for the weekend, which completely changes the culture) and see where you fit in better. That’s what made the difference for me.</p>
