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

[Booklady]

<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 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>This was my D’s view as well. I’m a Princeton alum, and loved my time there, but that was in the late 70s when the club scene was at its nadir. My D has been to many Princeton reunions with me and also visited the campus by herself. While it’s a lovely place, she felt more at home at Yale, where she’s now a very happy freshman. Having grown up in suburbia, she wanted a more urban school (while I grew up in NYC and thought Princeton was in the deep countryside. New Jersey - the back of beyond. :))</p>

<p>Both are wonderful institutions, and both nurture their undergraduates, but the campuses have different feels; as others have said, a visit is the best way to find out which one is the best fit for you.</p>
