<p>to springboard off all the talk about liberal-ness and the recent rise in Brown’s applications, here is an interesting take on Brown student politics</p>

<p>The point of the article was that Princeton isn't the anti-Brown. But aside from that, how dare they associate Princeton with northern Jersey...It's clearly smack dab in the center of the state.</p>
<p>As a newcomer here I assumed the reason why the Princeton CC site (with over 25,000 posts) attracted so many postings was that the school had been consistently ranked at the top of all the recognized, national undergraduate rankings. However, yesterday, I asked I asked CCers at the Princeton site, why the school attracted so much interest. The answer was refreshing and quite different than what I had expected. Hopefully, while searching for schools, CCers will find this same element elsewhere. It may be a telltale sign. It also may explain why Princeton alumni donate at the highest rate in the country (see US News). Heres is the thread:</p>
<p>That goes without saying Brown kicks major @$$ too, of course!</p>
<p>I'm sorry to say I didn't care for that article. =/</p>
<p>Come to think of it I don't know anyone from my school who applied to both Brown and Princeton.</p>
<p>I didn't really get the point of the article, and why it was in a newspaper. It would be more suited for a less formal medium.</p>
<p>College_hopeful, if I am rejected by Brown, ED I may apply to Princeton.</p>
<p>I was going to apply to princeton if rejected ED, but not really because I knew anything about it. Mostly it was because I had been following the princeton board and the people seemed cool.</p>
<p>I can just imagine the applications Princeton must get get that say "It has nothing to do with you. I love the CC board." lol</p>
<p>Will I have to start hating Princeton now that I am a Brunonian? lol</p>
<p>ehh the article was amusing. but somehow i don't think that every brunonian is dripping liberal blood and that every princetonian is a stale old cracker. </p>
<p>besides, who needs eating clubs when you can just smoke on wriston quad? lol</p>
