Andy

Princeton and its students are stereotyped as elitist, detached from the world in a bubble of debauchery and pursuit of their own goals (career, social, or other) without a care for anything that really matters. The eating clubs, for their part, are often seen as bastions of this sort of elitism, exclusive institutions which promote the sort of entitlement for which Princeton as a whole is often stereotyped.
