Yes, she does mention that going to college will be an opportunity to find your intellectual equals, but if you get a good job somewhere, you might be able to find an intellectual equal there, no? And then, if you read carefully, she says that men can find women who are complete idiots, but women have to find men at least as smart as they are, if not more intelligent.
She also goes on to say that by the time you are a senior, you only have the men in your class to pick from, and so it is physically impossible for a woman to date someone even one class year younger. Here's the kicker: if you skipped a grade at all and decided to date a man one class year younger, you are dating your own age!
And she wasn't finished with the letter; soon after, she released a statement saying that to this day she wishes she had married a Princeton man when she was in college! She now believes that she is too good for every guy who did not go to her school, which is why she got divorced last month from her husband of 27 years. She says it was because the college he went to had "almost no name recognition", and he didn't respect Princeton as much as she did.
So every woman who goes to Princeton: find a man now! Otherwise you'll end up a shriveled old crone who is stuck in an unhappy marriage, unhappy only because your husband didn't go to your school.
