According to NJ law and Princeton Boro law, the police cannot enter your room specifically to search for alcohol or because they think that its present. (this is also why theres are never police in the eating clubs, the only way youd get caught for drinking would be to carry your beer outside to the street, which the bouncers will not let you do anywya) Theres a big debate about this in the town, because they are trying to change the rules so that police can enter the eating clubs, however princeton students make up a large portion of the voters in town, so that it unlikely to get passed. That means, that as long as you magically get alcohol into your room, the university and public safety dont care at all unless you get noise complaints. Oh, and no kegs, although I know ppl who have had them. All you have to do is manage to convince them that the alcohol is for private consumption and youre good. So there are room parties at princeton, mostly involving pregaming before going out to the street. Which is the other thing about subfree dorms, which is that drunk ppl can be right outside and making noise. I get more annoyed by the drunk ppl outside my building than about parties in the building. That could be because I live in Wilson, which is on the way to the street and also has large suites where ppl pregame, and tons of ppl walk through wilson quad. Its possible that it gets less noisy as you move up campus and further from thestreet.
