Princeton University
From Transformers Wiki
Princeton University is a total party school, brah. All the girls are babes and they want to have sex with, like, everybody. Even the professors. There are awesome frat parties that any dork can attend, complete with neon lights, gyrating hot babes, and an open bar! You can play Ultimate Frisbee out on the quad, and the campus bake sale? You can totally buy weed brownies, dude!
It's supposed to be like, really competitive or prestigious or something, but they'll let pretty much anybody in, even evil robots... as long as they're HOT evil robots, right, brah?

The Veiled Threat
As part of his vent against Sam Witwicky, Seymour Simmons remembered that in addition to having a living car and a hot girlfriend, Sam also refused to work as a liaison between the Autobots and the government, and managed to acquire a scholarship to Princeton University. Something about that did not make sense to Simmons, as Sam's family background indicated either a JC or a state university, not a member of the Ivy League. His thoughts about the matter were put on hold when Frenzy started freaking out on him. The Veiled Threat

The university is in Albany! Dogfight!
Revenge of the Fallen film
Sam was actually the first Witwicky to attend college, which his dad Ron estimated cost about $40,000 a year. When the family arrived at Princeton, Sam met his roommates Leo Spitz, Fassbinder and Sharsky, who ran a website about the Transformers called The Real Effing Deal. Judy Witwicky bought herself brownies which were actually filled with cannabis, going delirious and almost blowing the family's cover, which Sam was able to brush off to his bemused classmates.
Having touched a fragment of the AllSpark, Sam himself was going nuts, seeing Cyberglyphics: during Astronomy 101, he read Professor Colan's book within seconds and was forced out of the class. Sam earned the unwanted attention of Alice, but when Mikaela Banes attacked her and he fled, she rampaged through the school. Days later, after helping defeat The Fallen in Egypt, Sam resumed attending Colan's course. Revenge of the Fallen
Dark of the Moon film
Sam's dad commented that it was pointless to send Sam to college, as he couldn't get a job even 3 months after he graduated. Maybe they partied too much to study. Dark of the Moon
Notes
- Revenge of the Fallen shot scenes at both Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania. According to Michael Bay's blog, the university was simply referred to as a "college" in the film because neither school would allow the use of their name due to the scene featuring Judy Witwicky and brownies.[1] The college is called Princeton in the novelization of the film; however, while the college was not specifically named in IDW's Rising Storm comics, it was specifically located in Philadelphia.
