<p>I too have spent a lot of time on both campuses (having a daughter who attended Dartmouth and a brother who attended princeton who is currently teaching there).</p>
<p>According to the NJ transit fare tables traveling to princeton today (which would be off peak) would cost $14.60 each way from Penn Station (29.20 r/t). Add on another $4.50 if your destination is not within walking distance from Penn Station then your trip to the city is $33.70 before you do anything. Tack on an extra value meal at McDonalds’s and you are already at $40 and we know students are not coming into the city to simply go to McDonalds. It is definitely not a “cheap” trip for the average college student or a student on full financial aid.</p>
