Yale or Princeton?

<p>Disclaimer: This is the Yale message board, so you might get biased responses.
That said, I visited both these schools in the last week (I’m a HS student, so discount me if you wish).
I thought that Princeton was more visually impressive, but Yale is no slouch. Princeton is probably more undergraduate-focused. For Princeton, did you apply to SEAS? Yale has one college, so it’s more unified if you want to explore. Princeton does have the senior thesis requirement, so that could be a major point in either’s favor depending on how you feel. Princeton also has eating clubs, which again could be a major point in either’s favor depending on how you feel on it. Location also plays a factor. Princeton is about an hour from NY, Yale is about a half hour farther from NY.
I apologize if these thoughts are disjointed/hard-to-follow.
All the above being said, there is no wrong choice here. Both are excellent choices and you will do great no matter which one you pick.</p>
