Grew up 10 mins from Princeton. Close friend from HS graduated Princeton. Dated a girl for awhile that graduated from Princeton. Big meh and to be completely honest, not worth $50k tuition.
Went to Princeton today. Boy, do I feel dumb.

Physician here. Vast majority of hospitals do not make much money after expenses, especially teaching institutions. Many schools either no longer own their hospitals or are trying to sell them.
Started my post-PSU life in Plainsboro's Princeton Meadows, when those apartments were still being built, and working in Dayton NJ. Spent lots of time in Princeton. Got married in the St. Paul's Catholic Church and had the reception at the Nassau Inn. Enjoyed many a performance at the McCarter Theater on campus. Even took in a few football and basketball games there way back when I first lived there.
Conti's Pizza is outstanding. Every now and the you'd see Petey Carrill sitting at the bar having a beer and watching whatever was on TV. No one ever bothered him.
Saw Robin Williams in Jadwin Gym in about 1983 or '84. I'm not sure I ever laughed so hard in my life.
All long, long ago in a lifetime far, far away. I really like the town and the campus is beautiful. But my heart will always belong to PSU.

Meh. It's all relative.
The "Meat" hat exudes taste and refinement.You wrap your dates in bacon?
Always trust these feelings. Sounds like the nicest thing all of the people you met have ever done was not rooking you out of your scone money.And I actually wore a Penn State sweatshirt.
IF. YOU. CAN’T. GO. TO. COLLEGE. , GO. TO. STATE..
They walk smarter, talk smarter, drink lattes smarter. I was lost in my murky sea of dumbery. A few of the smarties were ready to stone me over the sweatshirt, but they decided the stones deserved better. They’ll save them for Harvard.
Me so dumb. I hate me.
Next time you go there, do this: get a 3x5 note card, a windbreaker and a cane. Write "Bob: Dog Track." Pin it to your wind breaker.
Walk slowly around the campus like you are in pain. Eye those who pass you meaningfully, pleasingly.
When nobody helps you at all, or speaks to you, or makes eye contact, you will feel superior to them, not inferior. You will still BE inferior, but it won't feel that way.

Rutgers owns none of the teaching hospitals with which its medical school is affiliated.

Only difference between Princeton and PSU is money. They have it; we don't.
Maybe they should have set up in Amish country. Lancaster General is always making bank. Typically netting over $100 million/year, and they piss money away left and right.
Princeton (and some other Ivy League schools ) has a no loan policy. If you need money to go there, they give it to you rather than loan it. Students graduate debt free.
What you want to do is go back to Princeton but wear one of those Make America Great Again hats. This will drive the smug, self-entitled Princetonians insane. It doesn't matter if you like Donald Trump. Just do it. You may a retard from Cow Town, PA but at the end of the day your guy is President and their guy isn't, so there! Murica baby! It will totally knock them off their smugness arrogance game. They may look down on you but they will hate you ten times more and it will drive them crazy which makes it all worthwhile.And I actually wore a Penn State sweatshirt.

Not only that, they left Bucks County to do so (one of, if not THE, foreunners of Princeton was William Tennent's Log College, which wa sin what is now Warminster).
Sounds like you have an inferiority complex. Princeton is superior to State College - live with it. Princeton students are smarter, on average, than Penn State students. Did you really go to Rutgers? And using “retard” is inappropriate and insensitive to the mentally disabled. Really?
Princeton has the IQ advantage. But I think results show clearly Penn State has the EQ advantage - which is the factor that drives Penn State’s superior results re: employability and CEOs.
Nope I’m a Penn State grad who lived near Princeton. I appreciate both for what they are.
You’ve revealed yourself to be a woefully ignorant ill informed idiot. That’s a mission I wouldn’t embrace. Get back to me when one of your children or grandchildren with a learning disability comes home crying from school after some bully calls her a retard. We can have this chat again. But the odds of that happening in your family are slim, so you need not worry about all your friends or relatives families who might have to contend with such imbeciles. So sleep well - you’ve accomplished your mission. True colors revealed. Karma is a funny thing sometimes.

I'm sorry to upset you with the use of the word retard. I have never called anybody by that name and never would. Two of my good friends both have autistic sons and see the serious challenges they face and will have to face the rest of their lives.
It seems to bother you a lot to see people looked down on, judged and treated poorly. What to do? Perhaps you should take a piece of your own advise and 'live with it'.
Help me out here, I got a little lost. "your guy" went to Penn, right? Who was "their guy"? Madison? Cleveland? Wilson? Kennedy?
Ignorance and discrimination should never be tolerated. I won’t live with it.
Yes, he did, but it was inside out and he had dribbled stuff down the front.Did he have a PSU Jersey on???
You do recognize that Camden is a $hithole but literally 5 miles away is some of the richest suburbs in the Philly area such as Cherry Hill, Haddonfield, Moorestown. There is zero lack of money very local to Camden when it comes to wealthy areas.
