<p>Um, I always thought Princeton and Stanford were similar in spirit. Location - both in a suburb, a wealthy one at that. Both with beautiful campuses, although v. different styles. Both within an hour of top US cities. Both very fond of their technical/engineering people, both very fond of their athletes, although Stanford is clearly an entirely different caliber:). Both more apt to attract kids who are more laid back on the surface than HYM.</p>
