He wants to do theoretical physics or something related. I would like for him to go to Princeton, because not only is closer, it offers to match any scholarships he gets to cover 100% of his tuition. He really wants to get his PhD from MIT, which means he can not do his undergrad there. Harvard works closely with MIT. I would be happy with anything he chooses, but Princeton is SO beautiful and treated them so well! Again, is his choice. He has work very hard and deserves all opportunities that present to him.
