- A degree from Princeton (or other elite schools) is worth a lot of money regardless of what you actually learned there. For the rest of your life it follows you around and helps your career.
- You are likely to make connections there who will help your career even further
- You get access to many of the brightest minds in academia to learn from
- You get world class competition... for many people (myself included) I work harder when I'm in a class with smart people than i would if I were studying a textbook on my own
- You get a 4 year experience that many people would consider some of the greatest years of their life
