Princeton University
It really depends on the residential college. Roma (Rockey-Mathey) are known for not having AC, but have good locations being near Nassau Street, the University Store (UStore), and upper campus. NCW and Yeh are known for having ongoing construction issues and are placed on the lower side of campus. Forbes is the furthest away relative to the center of campus.

Princeton Housing
Princeton University dorms come in many different styles including traditional-style dorms to more modern suite-style dorms. Most commonly, first-year students fill out a housing form selecting their preferences and are sorted into one of Princeton’s 7 residential colleges: Rockefeller (Rocky), Mathey, Forbes, Butler, New College West (NCW), Yeh, and Whitman. Each residential college contains several dorm halls that can have singles, doubles, quads, suite-style double, or qingles (4 singles in a quad). Princeton students are guaranteed housing for all 4 years, but for the first two years, students must remain in their respective residential colleges. Upperclassmen are then given the option to continue living in their residential college, draw into a different residential college, or move off-campus.
