<p>Hey guys, can you guys rank these colleges based on their environment and the people there? (Don't base it on academics etc.. plz)</p>
<p>Rank these...</p>
<p>harvard
princeton
yale

<p>(ex. rank 1 : Princeton- nice people</p>
<p>Yikes, that's hard because they're so different.</p>
<p>Tier 1:
-Yale
-Brown
-Princeton</p>
<p>Tier 2:
-Stanford
-Duke
-Caltech
-MIT
-Cornell</p>
<p>Tier 3:
-NYU
-U Penn
-Harvard
-Johns Hopkins</p>
<p>It's all just my opinion, of course. I don't know where UCLA and UCB fit in.</p>

<p>Tier 1:
- Brown
- Princeton
- Stanford
(common thread for all three? great campuses not dominated by a major city yet not too far from one: Brown-Boston, Princeton-NY/Philly, Stanford-SF, great atmosphere for learning, amazing peeps)</p>
<p>Tier 2:
- Berkeley
- Caltech
- Duke
- Harvard
- MIT
- U Penn
- UCLA</p>
<p>Tier 3:
- NYU (where's the campus?)
- Johns Hopkins (Baltimore... could be worse, could be in Detroit)
- Cornell (ever been to Ithaca in the winter? Make sure you have some Prozac handy)
- Yale (New Haven - yuck!)</p>
<p>im guessing most of you haven't spent much time in palo alto...</p>
