Princeton tends to give excellent financial aid packages so that they remain competitive with peer institutions and even community colleges/state schools. So on paper it is a lot of money, but unless one is an international student one'll likely get some form of financial assistance, including full assitance for the poorest students. I go to a school that costs about $50k/year (for tuition + fees + books, not including living expenses) and I usually get $3000-$5000 back to live off of (which in my city is plenty), four-fifths of this are private grants that I don't have to ever pay back, the rest are federal and state grants and then federal loans (I am about $17k in loan debt and finishing my fourth year of undergraduate.)
