<p>among a half-dozen highlighted, with athens, berkeley, boulder, lawrence, and madison. here's the write-up:</p>

<p>"Known mainly for its world-class university, Princeton is a charming, relaxing town filled with historic buildings and tree-lined streets. Don't miss a stroll along the main drag, Nassau Street, where you'll find bookstores and boutiques, as well as Bainbridge House, home to the Historical Society of Princeton; take a quick tour through their museum for some background on the town's history. Then head over to nearby Princeton University with its famous bronze tigers at the entrance to Nassau Hall. Wander among the ivy-covered stone Gothic buildings and towering shade trees en route to the on-campus art museum. Other Princeton sights include the mansions along Library Place and the Delaware-Raritan Canal, a great place to bike, paddle or jog. For a quick bite, don't miss local institutions like PJ's Pancake House, Thomas Sweet (for ice cream) or Hoagie Haven."</p>

<p>Princeton is a crappy college town. there's nothing to do in it and it's way too expensive. its only saving grace is that it's close to NY</p>

<p>LOL!!! Don't tell Scottie 'cause Scottie doesn't know, Scottie doesn't know!!!</p>

<p>Sorry I couldn't resist...;)</p>

<p>I really do love the town of Princeton since it is very nice and pleasant, but honestly it is NOT a good college town. As axfr said, it's very expensive and seems to be tailored towards rich Princeton alumni...</p>

<p>"For a quick bite, don't miss local institutions like PJ's Pancake House, Thomas Sweet (for ice cream) or Hoagie Haven."</p>

<p>And all the other local institutions, such as The Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy.</p>

<p>sorry, those places are all outrageously expensive, with the exception of Hoagie Havie <3
Also, Bent Spoon pwns Thomas Sweet 1337x0rs!! XD</p>

<p>I don't think there's a Gap here.</p>

<p>Anyway, it rains whenever I go to Nassau Street so I've stopped trying to.:)</p>

<p>you can always eat at Wawa. or Mahek ir Kalluri Corner, or take s short bus ride to Market Fair and spend all yours or your parents money.</p>

9

<p>you know, walking to Market Fair isn't actually that far :P
Good exercise if you take alexander rd. ;)</p>

<p>Yeah if you ever feel like blowing up $50 per person on a nice atmosphere, get a 3 course dinner at Lahiere or Mediterranea.
The ultimate college experience...</p>
