POST: Harvard, Stanford, Yale or Princeton

<p>I'd be thrilled to go to any of them except for Harvard.</p>

<p>


This man speaks the truth!</p>

<p>i like both H and S, but if I had to choose, i'd take harvard</p>

<p>Princeton. I visited Harvard, doesn't seem to be a very happy place, despite being right accross the river from Boston. Never been to princeton but academics are supposed to be best in nation. Yale's really isolated and Sanford would be cool but I want to go somewhere further away from my home. Plus its in cali and I resent cali a great deal. Oregon is the best in the west but Cali gets all the credit...</p>

<p>Princeton </p>

<p>It's the only one I've visited, and it's close to home.
And the name sounds really really cool (I know, I know, very good reason)</p>

<p>Princeton</p>

<p>Why? Beautiful campus, music performance certificate program</p>

<p>Harvard, because I like the geographic location.</p>

<p>Not Yale because I hate New Haven.
Princeton is too close to home, but otherwise really nice.
Stanford might be nice for awhile because I have family in that area, but I'm not sure I could take 4 years of California.</p>

<p>"one guy from a school in my city got accepted ED at brown but ditched it for Harvard.....but 2 years later another guy frm the same school got accepted RD at brown and he even attended it!!!"</p>

<p>well, you know, declining a school isn't quite the same as murdering someone over your SATs, but hey. Gotta do what you gotta do ;)</p>

<p>I'd pick Princeton because of their focus on undergrads. I hear Stanford isn't so good with that. And I just don't know anything about Yale except that it's a little over my head.</p>

<p>Stanford for location; Yale for academics. If I actually got into both, it would be a tough choice for me. Probably Stanford because it has great academics and a great location, whereas Yale is better for what I'm into but I hate the location.</p>

<p>Hell-to-the-No on Princeton for the exact reason that everything is so exsclusive, even between cross-curriculum courses and academic departments (no double majors either, those certificates mean squat to me)</p>

<p>Definite No on Harvard, most unhappy students in Boston/Cambridge area. Life outside the class room is a drag and horrible, horrible location. harvard's campus is privately owned land, but that still doesn't stop half the city from trudging through it, a complete war-zone with a lack of any campus unity.</p>

<p>If it were a toss up between Yale and Stanford, I'd choose Stanford in a heartbeat, best quality of life, location (it's in an oasis of its own while still being in the Bay Area, much better metro area than Boston), excellent academics, it and Princeton are theonly ones that have land, but Stanford is layed back, hang-10, catch a frisbee whereas Princeton was gave such an snobbish, elite crowd vibe.</p>

<p>It depends a lot on your major.
For me, Engineering = Stanford.</p>

<p>Yale has a crappy campus.. I've been there... the buildings look like dungeons that never let the light in.
It's in a bad area also.</p>

<p>STANFORD ALL THE WAY!!!!!!</p>

<p>The Poll results as of now: Stanford and Princeton Tied at First!</p>

<p>Stanford: 8</p>

<p>Harvard: 4</p>

<p>Princeton: 8</p>

<p>Yale: 2</p>

<p>And Yale trails the pack!</p>

<p>harvard
libraries, location- harvard square :) and easy to get home</p>

<p>Harvard.
Only one I've really looked into....I liked it when I visited but theyre all a bit elitist for me.</p>

<p>Yale - because of excellent History/Social Studies; "community" vibe; and because that's where I'm going to go</p>

<p>definitely Stanford...all around excellence (sweet gymnastics team!) great weather, laid back people..i love it</p>

<p>Princeton</p>

<p>Absolutely gorgeous area and campus, undergraduate focus, sense of community, certificates, senior thesis, 1 hour from NYC but not IN NYC</p>

<p>elphaba- ahhhhh <333 wicked :)</p>
