Before the war began, New Jersey was thought of as a wasteland. The people there, such as

"snooki" were thought of mutants before FEV was even thought of. This is what happened to the

area

Like other universities, towards the end of the war Princeton University was researching new ways to counter the Chinese; new lasers, and new power armors. However, vault-like doors

covering the entrances to the labs in which they are growing dust. Raiders, settlers even Brotherhood of Steel Scribes were unable to open these doors. As well, Like most other

universities in the country, Princeton had a personal vault for 1000 Princetonian professors and

postgraduates. Like all other vaults, there was an experiment within the vault. The Overseer

wasn't chosen by something like an election or by the former Overseer. The Princeton Vault or

the Official name "Vault 38" had their election by who had the highest I.Q. Vault 38 was

scheduled to open on June 23rd 2137. However while checking through some old Enclave

records a few days later, a Brotherhood of scribe realized that some of the old vault dwellers from Vault 38 would have worked on these projects and would know the way to get to the labs.
