<p>I wouldn't want to stun you scottie. Princeton is a very fine school, in my view.</p>
<p>To answer the question posed by the OP, I'd find it hard to choose between Y and P on a number of grounds, if forced, although I do suspect that Yale will slip past P in the USNews rankings in the next book, thanks to the Class of 2008 admissions stats.</p>
<p>But what is the difference between Yale and Harvard anyway? On this board B is just trying to denigrate Princeton so he will use Yale to do that. Let's use his own tactics. Let's start a fight between Yale and Harvard and let them damage each other in the process...Of course, that is already in process, but let's do it here on the Princeton board so that we benefit:). It's martial arts guys, the Art of War. He he.</p>
<p>Or else it's a lucky group of teenagers who studied their a**** off and now get to choose amongst great universities. You decide.</p>
<p>I have never "denigrated" Princeton - or Yale either, for that matter. Both are among the world's greatest universities.</p>
<p>And both offer better undergraduate experiences than Harvard. </p>
<p>Byerly, you've done your more-than-fair sure of "denigrating" both by here and on the Yale forum. Implied, yes, but that doesn't excuse it. </p>
<p>I would love to know where his kids went to school.</p>
<p>I love Stanford, I would love to do some graduate work there.</p>
<p>okey. people, let's not turn Byerly into the main charachter of yet another thread. He's not worth it. </p>
<p>ainsleyg wanted answers as to what Princeton has to offer. And i think he was interested in Princeton and Yale. How did Harvard come up anyways? Wait, don't tell me. </p>
<p>Is this image of bickering over how many trees Harvard has the image you want ainsleyg to have of tigers? And how did the comparisson come up anyway? Wait, I know. Someone mentioned the trees at Princeton and the lawns, and "someone" had to compare that to the "number" of trees that another top school has.<br>
This is getting redundant pretty fast...</p>
<p>Princeton has definetly the more "green" feeling, the mores serene (as someone perfectly said) feeling. Harvard might have more trees, but they have more cars, more noise. </p>
<p>One of the biggest pluses of Princeton, imo, is their green, peacefull, safe, unified campus. There are very few cars. For an cloud-headed person like me, who had more than his fair share of near-death experiences with crossing roads, the possibility to walk anywhere on campus without crossing traffic arteries is great!</p>
<p>Princeton campus is safe. Maybe not "the safest" but definitely amongst the safest campuses in U.S. I think it is well known that both New Haven and Cambridge are lacking in safety. I'm not a scaredy cat, but is it bad to know that you can stroll around campus at midnight or sit on a lawn and watch the stars between the tree tops without being scared by every sound?</p>
<p>A suburban campus is, without a doubt, more peacefull than an urban one. Which one you preffer, is up to you.
And i think Princeton's campus is more "together". You have everything within short walking(or biking for Forbesians) distance of your dorm. And a tranquile walk at that. </p>
<p>Of course if you preffer more urban, albeit stressfull, atmosphere then yes, Harvard and maybe Yale have their pluses. </p>
<p>Let's try not to rank anything else from this point on. Compare, not rank. What do you say?</p>
<p>thanx for the intervention, revan (not that im not interested in a numerical comparison of trees...can someone perhaps provide me with an exact number of each kind of tree at each school because id like to go where the most oaks are, but not maples)</p>

I wouldn't say that. Finding parking is always annoying, though it is true that theres only one major traffic artery through campus (and a second if you live in Forbes).</p>
