Elitist, ivy tower, privileged, self-serving, altruistic, wealthy, least diverse, strong and tight knit alum base

Reese

I always saw (and see?) the Princeton stereotype as rich, preppy, exclusive, competitive, and snobby. It's seen that everyone goes into the financial world and just wants the cash, and will sacrifice human decency for it.

I think one major stereotype is that Princeton students are snobby, rude, cold-hearted, and ridiculously wealthy. Another stereotype is that all Princeton students are very nerdy and dorky, and the only thing that they ever do is study.
