Princeton doesn't seem as bustling as New Haven, Cambridge, or Philadelphia were. Since I enjoy urban environments, this was a little off-putting, but if suburbia is your bag, you'll fit rig

Affluent, quiet suburbs. Lots of soccer moms and kids.

Lots of expensive boutiques and old buildings. Really quaint. No fast food or department stores.

Road's bumpy. Princeton's also quite hard to find if you are driving.

The gates lead you right into the town. Pretty, upper-middle class town with the prices to match. Stores like J. Crew and ice cream shops where little scoops of ice cream (while delicious) cost $4. Very safe, but it seemed small enough to start an onse

Not only is the town of Princeton funky and really well kept up (despite the high prices, even for parking!), but the closest highway has a lot to offer in terms of dining, lodging, and shopping, all
