Just to be clear, Princeton ranks close to 15-20th in CS. Many state schools do out rank Princeton in CS and they do not have such labs yet.

I can understand if IAS or the Math department was the main reason to open a lab there. But, if it was quality of CS faculty that exclusively factored into the decision, then there would be other state schools in the line ahead of Princeton.

Princeton is a tiny school which still has Tarjan and Appel. And it's a half hour ride from NYC.

I'd be very interested to know the route you are taking to get to/from NYC then.
