Hey everyone! I’m trying to choose between Princeton and MIT for my undergraduate college next year. I was very fortunate to be accepted. These are my possible choices for majors:
I like both schools pretty equally, and I know that people do change their majors in college.
Would love any reasons behind why I should go to one school over the other! Thanks for all the help!
You might want to consider whether you want to be in a city every time you walk outside or in a more suburban big town atmosphere. Also take a look at the course catalogs and see exactly what classes you will be taking. Also explore if you can actually get into the classes easily or if there is competition.
Princeton will offer a greater breadth of opportunities to move into a liberal arts major if you sour on finance/financial engineering. But I agree with the above poster - the campus cultures and environs are way different. Think clearly about where you feel you’d be happiest the next four years. Both are academic and recruitment target stars.
