<p>Or so it seems. I know Stanford is different because it has a more west coast attitude, but is there a significant difference in campus atmosphere among Harvard, Yale, and Princeton? What other major differences are there between the four?</p>
<p>Princeton has the best undergraduate focus and engineering and Harvard is the most prestigious.</p>
<p>They are, more or less, the same. They attract about the same calibur of student and are similiar in size, focus, and location. If you are deciding between them I would say the choice comes down to which campus felt the best to you. Harvard is more brick, Princeton and Yale are more gothic, and Stanford looks like a giant Taco Bell.</p>
<p>Location is a major difference. Harvard is right outside Boston, so you've got tons going on. Princeton is very sheltered--you're in a 'bubble' for four years. Yale is in the middle.</p>
<p>Education wise, I'm guessing that your education is what you make of it.</p>
<p>I meant weather/nature/geographic-wise, obviously excepting Stanford. Being from balmy, beachy Southern California, it's quite a jump to me to consider universities in forested, snowy areas.</p>

<p>Snowy sure, none of these schools is anywhere near a forest. Harvard and Yale are both in the middle of cities, and Princeton is in an upscale suburb - kinda like Palo Alto but without the palm trees.</p>
<p>Bowdoin's in the middle of a forest. I want to go there :)</p>
<p>Sorry, that has nothing to do with this thread....</p>
<p>Princeton actually is sorta in the middle of a forest...at least, there are a lotta trees on and around campus. nevermind, ignore me.</p>
<p>Heh. Dartmouth is in the middle of a (snowy) forest too.</p>
