The 1972 Alice Cooper calendar (close-up below) hanging on the door in the seventh photo came inside his 1971 Killer LP. That’s how I nailed down the year. Also, the “Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary” and “Patience My Ass” black light posters are by Art Bevacqua, copyright 1971, and the Dancers of Mali (little poster in third photo) toured the U.S. in ’71 and ’72.
I still haven’t got the location, although I know there’s something here to give it away. There’s a Courier-News clipping in the second to last photo, a New Jersey newspaper. It ain’t Princeton. The accommodations are not nearly posh enough and the kids have too much character. Rutgers? There’s also a Courier-News in Elgin, Illinois. Let me know if you know or have an idea.

They’re such a wonderful encapsulation of an era, brilliant!
Agreed. I bet the phone on the wall was real luxury.
Came here to comment on the in-room phone. There were still plenty of dorms even fifteen years after this that only had a single phone down in or near the lobby.
Here’s a link to info on the poster in the first pic: http://www.chisholm-poster.com/cgi-local/search.cgi?search=CL51650

Nice. Thanks.
The beginning of the end!
