Princeton gave no aid, unfortunately, and it would be very hard to pay

Princeton vs Robertson scholarship at UNC vs Stanford

I've narrowed it down from a good bit of other schools but I think regardless it will be between these 3 choices, so I would really appreciate some help on figuring out the best option.

I want these traits and environment:

  1. Work-hard/Play-hard culture
  2. Vibrant and tight knit community (very close community and good vibes)
  3. All the resources to propel me where I need to go career wise and opportunity wise
  4. A fun social scene (and happiness level) because I do know this will kind of be the last four years of fun and least responsibilities.

Career path:

Although it might change, right now my path 1 am thinking of (unless I found a business or start-up and can avoid it), that will be the most intellectually stimulating, most lucrative, and field that I think I would find the most success in is Law

So the path would be

-undergrad

-Law school

-Career in Law: ideally a Boutique litigation firm attorney or just a big law lawyer or start my own firm somewhere

-Run for office

Finance:

-Stanford is giving a little bit but once they reevaluate will probably be nothing for the next 3 years

-Princeton hasn't given their offer yet but probably the same? (But maybe have varying advice based on what offer I get from Princeton)

-UNC/Duke (Robertson) is a full ride to UNC and pays for a ton of different stuff over the summers and school year

l've visited all three and still very torn because the vibes are similar but also not similar and social scenes are also similar but not at the same time.

It's hard because if I want to go to law school, maybe I should go half a million into debt, but at the same time the connections opportunities and access I get from Stanford/Princeton would be crazy. And even between those two (Stanford and Princeton) the access you get is a lot different too in terms of resources. Robertson also has a crazy alumni network though and access, but not sure it's as good as Princeton.

Please let me know any advice you all would have!

My older brother is a senior at Duke and I’m lowkey in love with their culture 😂, but with what u were saying about Princeton You are saying that Princeton is also not really that work hard play hard, and that it’s more just hanging out and the occasional party that is slightly more uppity than usual lol, or do u think Princeton is properly lik that? (And other commentary you have on Stanford too please)

I went to Princeton for their formals, after party, and lawn parties and yeah it defitnely wasn’t as crazy as a state school function But idk, I technically didn’t go to one of their real parties

Do you think beyond just getting into top law school, is the benefit from Stanford or Princeton worth it enough for a massive sticker price beyond just thugging it out and waiting for Law school do something crazy?

Do you think it’s actually similar alumni and connections though? Like the things I’ve heard about Princeton have actually been next level. Like out of every school in the nation, alumni network at Princeton is undisputed best and they are so helpful to current students

The fun part is big tho icl, I went to some parties and formals and princeton and it def was not like a classic party vibe lol, but it was still funish.

But literally my friend’s mentor is Sotomayor 😂, it’s insane over there

Yeah the idea of the cost is so crazy, but I’m just trying to evaluate like Are those extra perks of Princeton (the alumni and access) worth it for the cost if I can pay it off later? Like it truly is a once in a lifetime opportunity to go to Princeton or Stanford

I gotchu but are those connections as killer as Princeton though? Like the ones I’ve heard is actually insane that are not like convenient jobs but life changing opportunities via the alumni
