<p>i'm willing to bet that princeton's reunions are bigger and better attended than any other ivy's. from wikipedia: </p>
<p>"Every year on the weekend before Commencement, Princeton University holds what may be the most well-attended college reunion in the world."</p>
<p>yale has nothing analagous to the p-rade. i actually already have marched in the p-rade. TWICE. (im drum major of my marching band, and we marched with the class of '80 this year for their 25th. lol i had to take a brief hiatus from my band to take a side route so i wouldnt march through the front gate. bad karma doin that.)</p>
<p>and for the top 3 reasons princeton is awesome:
3. Chuck's Spring Street Cafe's buffalo wings
2. Hoagie Haven
1. NEW JERSEY</p>
<p>Haha. New Jersey pride.</p>
<p>Good job, An0nym0u5.</p>
<p>My reasons:</p>
<ol>
<li>The students are hospitable. I was offered alcohol within my first hour there.</li>
<li>The food is there is cheap. For breakfast, I had a croissant, oj, coffee, yogurt, and a banana. $4-$5 total.</li>
<li>Beautiful scenery (and I don't just mean the buildings ;))</li>
<li>There, I will better be able to stalk Toni Morrison.</li>
<li>Alumni support. Sure, they swoop down upon you like a big, vicious, orange and black army, but they're enthusiastic, nice, and very very rich. Which reminds me...</li>
<li>Financial support. Ask any student there. Princeton is rich - and generous. As long as you can convince them, they will pay for whatever you want (so long as it has educational value.) "I need to study rocks in France. For three weeks. Seriously."</li>
<li>There's also that whole "academic reputation" thing. Whatever.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li> The students</li>
<li> The faculty</li>
<li> The campus</li>
</ol>
<p>I think that just about covers it, except for the fun traditions and the large amount of funding available for internships and research. :)</p>
<p>princeton is known for having an unbelievable alumni connection and its reunions. it is unrivaled by all other schools!!!!!!</p>
<p>we are awesome kids who actually LOVE princeton (unlike those harvard schmucks =P)</p>
<p>princeton's ideal location between 2 amazing cities, but its not in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. so quiet when u want quiet, busy when u want busy =P</p>
<p>I love this thread. Make's me SOOOOOO EXCITED for September. :)</p>
<ol>
<li>Theological Seminary right next door. im excited at least...</li>
<li>Lots of Financial Aid.</li>
<li>Good location, food, -looking people, really really fast internet access, weather (i like darker days, more thought-conducive), reputation.</li>
</ol>
<p>gah i know ivyboy, each reason gets me even more excited. and midnightshow i love all of ur reasons.</p>
<p>just an hour's trainride from NYC, and an hour's carride to philly (not sure about train for that one).</p>
<p>
thank you!!! :D</p>
