I really don't want to change the subject or take away from the discussion about Bill, but I just want to quickly interject and say I disagree with this. I have now lived in Princeton for 18 years, unaffiliated with the University (I went to HS here, but go to college elsewhere). The town is picturesque, historic, and enhanced by the sterling reputation of the University. As for the isolation, NYC is just an hour train ride away, Philly an hour and a half. I suppose there isn't a ton of stuff to do in the town, but I've never found it to be a problem. In any case, Princeton is a great place to live.
You've lived there for 18 years. I assume that means you have 18 years worth of friends, family, neighbors, memories. Completely unrelated situation. Imagine if you knew no one there when you got there, didn't own a car, were single, had no kids, and your nearest family member lived 1000 miles away. That's the kind of isolation a lot of undergrads and grad students face there. And the town of Princeton doesn't really have a whole lot for them.
