Both schools are really bad, except at self-promotion. If you graduate from one of them, everyone hates you in this country. They are not even the best at innovation, just at pretentiousness. Do you really want to turn out like Clinton or Bush, hated by everyone?

They are both equally good. They have different strengths, depending on what you want to major in, but you probably wouldn't go wrong with either of them.
When it comes right down to it, you can get an excellent education at just about any school. A lot of it depends on what you put into it. What college you choose should depend on what major you want (every school has a history major, not every school will have nuclear physics), the location of the school (near a big city or in the country), the size (a school with 1000 students has a very different culture than one with 40000 students), and anything else that is important to you.
The only reason to go to a well-known school is to impress employers right after you graduate. Having a diploma from Harvard or Princeton will open doors for you, certainly. But once you've been out of school for 5 years, employers will be more interested in what you have done in the real world, and they won't care where you got your degree from.
Any private school in the US will be expensive. You may want to look in to public colleges and universities, which generally have lower tuitions. In order for a non-US student to be accepted into any US college or university, they must be able to prove (ahead of time) that they have the money to pay for tuition, room, and board. Most schools that I know of will not give financial aid or scholarships to foreign students.

I would go with princeton. It is the most affordable school in the nation. If you qualify for financial aid, you will get it. also, princeton replaced loans with grants that you don't have to pay back.

You can't really say one is better than the other. They are pretty much on the same level.

It depends what you want to major in. Each of these colleges has its own specialties.
