In front of the main entrance to campus, there are lots of shops and restaurants. Huge trees shade the road, giving it a peaceful atmosphere. I loved it! [View Full Report]

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 [View Full Report]

Pretty upscale shops right in Princeton near the university, but Route 1 has Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, Whole Foods...all the usual suspects if your wallet is not quite so fat. [View Full Report]

Although it was odd to see a row of upscale shops across from the gates. No college students I know have money to spend there - but the returning alumni and parents of students probably do. [View Full Report]

There's a cute shopping center across the street, and I think the area around campus is great for jogging. [View Full Report]

Very rural. I couldnt find the campus because the roads around the campus were kind of confusing. [View Full Report]

The outside town is really cute. There are some pretty good inexpensive eateries around, too. The road that I took to get into Princeton was lined with trees and flowers. [View Full Report]

Road's bumpy. Princeton's also quite hard to find if you are driving. [View Full Report]

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 [View Full Report]

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 [View Full Report]
