Colleges and Universities A-Z Princeton University

<p>Do you understand that there is no <em>ranking</em> at all involved? I don't believe you do.</p>

<p>You seem awfully slow about these things. In your case, its in one ear and out the other. There is nothing to be gained by discussion.</p>

<p>Getting personal, hmm. Rebuttal, Byerly?</p>

<p>above poster is nothing but an instigator-- shame on all of u for continuing with this! what happened to the P-H / H-P alliance??</p>

<p>David: It is a pipe dream. You know I offered.</p>

<p>Here is some more comparision. Children today we will compare library resources:</p>

<p>Item, Harvard rank, Princeton Rank</p>

<p>Volumes Held per Fulltime Student, 3, 2
Volumes Held per Teaching Faculty, 1, 2
Materials Expenditures per Fulltime Student 5, 1

Library Expenditures per Fulltime Student, 3, 1

<p>LOL! Wasn't Princeton your kid's 3rd choice school? Nothing wrong with making the best of the situation, I guess!</p>

146

<p>Nope tied with 1.</p>

<p>and speaking of # 1. Stanford beats Harvard in Ph.D production</p>

<p>Stanford: 583, Harvard: 564.</p>

<p>Source: Consortium on Financing Higher Education
(COFHE) data for 1994-95 </p>

<p>speak data that is useful and which reflects quality rathan than quantity my friend. Even a 18 year old kid called zypher shuts you out.....how pathetic.</p>

147

<p>LOL! So it volume that counts in PhD production, eh simba?</p>

<p>That puts Stanford (where your kid was waitisted) behind not only rival Berkeley, but also behind Nova Southeastern University, among others!</p>

<p>(Note: this is the latest data, not 10-year old stuff like you unaccountably peddle.)</p>

148

<p>somehow i doubt that cornell was your daughter's first choice, byerly. so you're most likely throwing stones from a house of glass here.</p>

149

<p>OMG! Stanford produced that many more PhD's than Harvard! I will just not let my kid go to Harvard now that i know this, no matter what. </p>

<p>Does princeton have closed or open stacks in the library?</p>

150

<p>"Does princeton have closed or open stacks in the library?"</p>

<p>assuming this is a sincere question: open.</p>

151

<p>It is, it is. I was just wondering, because Harvard has closed stacks, so one cannot browse the place finding a hinded treasure as easily. But it does help keep track of things, and get the needed book, given that you know what the books is.</p>

<p>This one has gone on long enough. Thread closed.</p>
