Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: a place name (Princeton) + the noun 'university' denotes the university located in or named after Princeton. This naming pattern is cross-linguistically common and non-idiomatic, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Princeton University gets its name from the town of Princeton in New Jersey, because the school began as a small college there and later took the town's name when it grew into a 'university'. That's why Princeton University now means the well-known and respected 'university' located in that town.
