Bronxville is Richville, Yonkers is the Hood
I personally prefer Yonkers because it feels less bourgeois and there are more shops that serve real purposes AKA a big grocery store, multiplex, cell phone stores, Macy's and other clothes outlets, dunkin donuts, fast food, etcetera. Bronxville is cute though, they have a nice deli, nice bagel place, nice hardware store, very pretty library and a bunch of clothing boutiques.

Dead Except for Thursday-Saturday
On those three nights you can find anywhere from 1 to 3 open parties around campus. They're fun enough, but you'll want to get off campus regularly if you define your social life through parties -- or even if you don't.

Needs More/Better Shuttles
Shuttle coverage is shoddy because the student drivers are lazy or don't show up for work. Even when it's security guards driving, the coverage doesn't improve much. Also the only regular shuttles off campus are a nightly shuttle to the train station (never during the day, even on move-in or move-out days) and a once-a-week shuttle to NYC.

Sucks
The college touts a large average financial aid package, and there's a noticeable minority of students who have had their tuition seriously reduced thanks to aid. But not a single dollar of my need was met, and I know plenty of other students that either got no help or were greatly underserved by financial aid. At the most expensive college in the country, that is a huge barrier to entry for many qualified applicants.
