I think it just depends on how you interpret the question, "Where are you going to school next year?"

"Where" can be interpreted as the location of the school you are going to
AND
"where" can be interpreted as 'which' school you are going to

It's not necessarily evading the question if you answer "New Jersey"

However, I think it is best to just answer "Princeton, in New Jersey" since it answers both interpretations of 'where'

Answering questions about college has been problematic for me.

Somebody I know called me pretentious yesterday because I said I liked reading books. Their exact words were, "You think because you're going to Princeton that you're better than everybody and that normal hobbies aren't good enough for you?"

They were serious. I've enjoyed reading books since I learned to read, and it angered me that they would try to spin something good that's happened to me (getting into Princeton) into something bad.
