7. Princeton University

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY.   What began as the College of New Jersey in Elizabeth has evolved into one of the nation's most well-regarded and wealthiest universities. Established in 1746, Princeton offers an incredibly picturesque campus, characterized by Gothic-style buildings and impressive Nassau Hall, the university's oldest structure, rife with history. Other familiar sights on the sculpture-strewn, Ivy League campus include Firestone Library, the Art Museum, and the elaborate FitzRandolph Gateway, a portal between town and gown. Orange Key Tours leads daily excursions around the university; call for details (609-258-4554).   (© 10Best)
