I've heard that the average people there enjoy a relatively high standard of living. I've read that it is very safe too. So what about the life there? Is it enjoyable or is it boring?
I've seen the map and have found Princeton to be close to Trenton, which is regarded as being a dangerous city...so what about the surroundings of Princeton? Are they safe and affluent too?

In Princeton, New Jersey, my thoughts are that you are going to run into "old money" and a more socially elite culture. New Jersey is known as the Garden State (lots of greenery) and it is near enough to NYC that you could visit there frequently if you want a change of pace. I've been trying to figure you out to try and get an angle on what it is that you are wanting for yourself. Seems to me you are looking for safety and good living with opportunities for growth. Am I right? Coming to the East Coast from Southern California is going to be a bit of a cultural shock for you whatever place you choose... DC, NYC or New Jersey. Which place keeps coming to your mind? Do you have any friends or family living in any of these places which you could visit and not feel so "all alone"? I respect your research; but, like I said before, "it has to feel right to you". I'm planning on moving to another state this spring myself and I'm not sure where yet either...maybe I should start doing what you are and ask some questions about different places. Hope things turn out well for you.
