It's a very small suburban town - didn't really see much outside of campus. It looks very expensive though.

Nice place. Small, but close to New York City and Philadelphia.

Princeton is charming, but Route 1 is pretty much strip mall territory. Princeton's close to NYC; students can get heavily discounted package of B-way show tickets and bus fare for about $25.

Princeton is a very nice upper-middle class town.

Good. Princeton is a cool town with some swanky little shops and stores. If you don't find what you want there, everything is within and hour and a half (NYC, Philly, Six Flags, Beach, etc.)

I love it. It's not urban, but it's definitely not rural. Very safe. There are buses to take you to nearby malls and trips to NYC (1 hour away). Philadelphia is pretty close (~1 hr I think).

Again, quaint little town, which I like because I happen to live in one.

The town is quaint and quiet--a lot like the campus.

Princeton evidently has a very strong relationship with the town, and this shows.
