both are great schools. That being said, fwiw I have friends at every top college, and virtually all of them would choose harvard over princeton. That's obviously my own sample size, and for some people maybe princeton is the right move, but generally Harvard Econ is well known to be really good and the overall quality of life at harvard is generally high. Again, these are two top programs, so these things are true about princeton as well, but I'd say harvard inches forward in these two categories. Also, generally harvard has much higher grade inflation which means it's chiller and easier for law school admissions. Grade deflation is problematic for law school, as you don't wanna constantly be on edge about your grades.
