MIT vs. Princeton (everything BUT academics)

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hi guys, I'm stuck in this MIT vs. Princeton rut, and I've decided to leave academics out of the questions (I think I'll get a comparable education at both if I'm going into EECS). Can any current students speak to other factors that might help me choose? Like, social scene, weather, ease of getting out of town, anything at all not related to academics?</p>

<p>Personally, I would like the benefit of being able to enjoy awesome night life, parties, etc. I'm perpetually cold, but that hasn't stopped me from staying alive thus far. I've been a member of many school bands, but I would really like to try cheer leading in college. I also live 30 minutes south of Princeton, which is a huge huge minus. </p>

<p>Any thoughts at all would be appreciated!</p>
