<p>Along with MIT, these are the top three econ departments (Chicago is great but the faculty is getting up there in age and Stanford isn’t as well-rounded). Pick the school where you see yourself happiest.</p>
<p>I would choose Princeton. Greg Mankiw (google him) currently teaches introductory Econ at Harvard but posted on his blog a few years ago that Princeton would be better for undergraduate economics. </p>
<p>I think overall the student experience at Princeton would be better, as well. I hope this has changed: [Harvard</a> Students Less Satisfied Than Peers With Undergraduate Experience, Survey Finds | News | The Harvard Crimson](<a href=“http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2005/3/31/harvard-students-less-satisfied-than-peers/]Harvard”>Harvard Students Less Satisfied Than Peers With Undergraduate Experience, Survey Finds | News | The Harvard Crimson)</p>
<p>I’m deciding between Yale and Columbia (waitlist at Princeton) so you might want to choose Harvard to open up a spot for me lol :)</p>

<p>We had one each at Princeton and Harvard. I’d say go for Princeton for undergrad, then try for grad school/MBA at Harvard.</p>
<p>Princeton students seemed happier, more sociable, and a tighter community. Of course this could all be because they ate Hot Breakfasts!! :)</p>
<p>Thanks you guys! What about in terms of the alumni network and employment after graduation?</p>

<p>There is something incredibly special about the Princeton undergraduate experience that can only be described by attending this great institution.</p>
<p>Eh, go to Princeton. But I’m biased. Harvard is cool too, they have Med Fac: [“Doctors</a>” of Destruction | FM | The Harvard Crimson](<a href=“http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2005/4/14/doctors-of-destruction-harvard-has-always/]"Doctors”>The Harvard Crimson)</p>
<p>That’s a way better secret society than the ones at Princeton that just make you run around the golf course by the Grad College until you throw up.</p>
