Princeton University is the Anti-Columbia. Think of it as the Ivy League Anti-Christ. They stand for eveything we hate:
- New Jersey (There's a reason we call Princeton the deoderant in the arm-pit of America).
- Open Space.
- Elitist Eating clubs
- WASPy pedigrees
- Suburban indolence
- Country-club air
- A strong emphasis on undergraduate education.
Princeton had the temerity to reject the application of Alexander Hamilton, who returned the favor by firing a cannon at Nassau Hall during the Battle of Princeton in the Revolutionary War.
They also graduated Aaron Burr, who was so upset at the inferior quality of his education that he killed Alexander Hamilton in a jealous fit of rage.
Playwright Tony Kushner ridiculed Princeton during his 2004 Class Day address. Admittedly, that's not exactly very hard to do.
