<p>I think the difference is the eating club, preppy drinking partying thing is dominant socially at Princeton (there is other stuff to do but it is THE thing to do), while at Yale that scene is a more casual frat scene and its not dominant at all. Yale is more like Harvard socially (people hang out in dorms, house parties, off campus clubs, extracurricular groups, etc), with a bit of Pton thrown in. Basically P-ton will be more fun if you like “the street,” but if you don’t like that scene Yale is better.</p>
