Princeton graduations are in May and June at which time hotels are expensive and hard to find. Northwestern New Jersey’s Skylands are busy in winter with skiers and snowboarders.

Off season:

The water along the Jersey shore is still warm well after Labour Day and most of the crowds have left. Late spring is also a quiet time to visit the beaches and find cheap flights to New Jersey.
