You will be splitting time between Whitehouse and West Point? Which one will you be at more frequently? If you'll be at Whitehouse more frequently than West Point, go with Morristown. It's definitely not "urban" at all, but it is a large suburb that has a thriving downtown with lots of restaurants and a few bars.
If you'll be splitting time evenly between the two locations, you might want to check out Ridgewood, NJ (suburb, but thriving downtown) or Nyack, NY (Rockland County, on Hudson River, nice downtown).

An area with some decent entertainment options...Bars,Clubs, Movies, Mall. A place where I could easily meet other mid-twenties people and make friends, because I know NO-ONE out there.

Ohhh West Point, Pennsylvania? Hmmm. Princeton, NJ would be my suggestion. It's about 45 mins to an hour from each location (probably closer to White House Station). Which location will you be at more frequently??

I read it wrong as well. Morristown is not between west point pa and White house. Still a cool place though.  |

Oooooooooohhhhhhh
Princeton, New Brunswick, New Hope? (Maybe toooo artsy fartsy)
Problem is that anything "Equidistant" is farm country IMO.
Pray for more time in West Point and your only 30 miles from Philly.

yeah, that's why i said i wasn't sure. it's got the charm and restaurants and bars thing down, it's the 20-something professional element that i didn't think really existed.
and, you're right in your 2nd sentence - you're pretty much in god's country. lol |

THANKS!
