110 West College, Princeton. NJ 08544 Princeton is the smallest of the Ivy League's Big Three, which means more attention from faculty and plenty of opportunity for rigorous independent work. Offers engineering but no business major. The affluent suburban location contrasts with urban New Haven and Cambridge. Residential college system modeled on Yale's provides a social alternative to long-standing eating clubs. Princeton became the model of American-style liberal arts college after John Witherspoon was lured from the University of Edinburgh to become president in 1768.

Stanford, CA 94305 - 3005 If you're looking for an Eastern counterpart to Stanford, think Duke with a touch of MIT mixed in. Stanford's big-time athletics, preprofessional feel, and laid-back atmosphere set it apart from Ivy League competitors. In contrast to the hurly-burly of Bay Area rival Berkeley, Stanford;s aura is upscale, spacious, and green. Bring your bike and a pair of sunglassses, and leave yout ego behind. The differences between Stanford and other institutions it competes against for the country's top high school seniors are evident everywhere, from the architecture to the curriculum. The school's mission-style buildings look outward to the world at large, rather than inward to ivy-covered. And unlike its Colonial-era predecessors, Stanford-founded in 1855 by Leland and Jane Stanford in memory of their son Leland Jr…

HARVARD UNIVERSITY

USA
86 Brattle Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 An acceptance here is the gold standard of American Educations. Gets periodic slings and arrows for not paying enough attention to undergraduate, some of which is carping from people who didn't get in. It takes moxie to keep your self-image under control in the midst of all those geniuses, but most Harvard students can do it. Harvard's state-of-the-art physical facilities are surpassed only by the unparalleled brilliance of its faculty. Under its "star" system, Harvard grants tenure only to scholars who have already made it-usually somewhere else-and then gives them free rein to research it. It seems like every time you turn around, a Harvard professor is winning a Nobel Prize or being interviewed on CNN or moving to Washington to hash out rational…
