The beauty of Princeton

Princeton is located in the state of New Jersey and is well known by one of the eight universities of the Ivy League – the Princeton University, which is in its present location since 1756. This makes it the fouth oldest college in the United States.

Besides the University, whose grandiosity makes me want to study there, every time I step by, there are other attractions to be noted:
- Lake Carnegie, in the far notheaster corner of Princeton, brings wonderful views.
- The paths through out the lake are great to walking, cycle or run or simply stare and enjoy.
- Nassau Street, the main street of Princeton with small and cosy shops.
- The typical american town houses, which I find delighful...
- The Priceton Garden Theatre – the cinema: it is not as confortable as the new ones, but has the charm of the old town cinemas. Love it for a Sunday night movie out!
- Palmer Square, where during the best time of the year, a big and beautiful Christmas tree finds its place!
 - The several different restaurants to try: typical American, Indian, Japanese, Italian, Mexican...

For all of these and even more, I find Priceton a magical small village and I like the idea of being so close by!
