<p>Compared to the rest of the Ivy League, it has a better undergraduate program (I wouldn’t go so far as to say that it’s the best in the world, though). It also has the dubious distinction of being the most snobby and preppy Ivy League college. I’m interested in philosophy and math, two departments in which Princeton excels; I don’t know that much about other departments, but it’s consistently good across the board. In terms of weak departments, I would say that Princeton’s offerings on economy are heavily math-based and severely limited from a theoretical, conceptual perspective (although this shortcoming might be endemic to most American colleges).</p>
