 General Information
The Princeton campus is made up of more than 160 buildings representing a range of architectural styles, from the ivy-adorned gothic of McCosh Hall, to the modern.
Chartered in 1746, Princeton is the fourth-oldest college in the United States. Princeton is an independent, coeducational, nondenominational institution that provides undergraduate and graduate instruction in the liberal arts, sciences, and engineering.
As a research university, Princeton seeks to achieve the highest levels of distinction in the discovery and transmission of knowledge and understanding. At the same time, Princeton is distinctive among research universities in its commitment to undergraduate teaching.
The campus of 500 acres is located in Princeton, New Jersey, a town of approximately 30,000 residents that is situated about an hour’s train ride south of New York City and an hour’s train ride north of Philadelphia. It is about equidistant from Newark Liberty International Airport and Philadelphia International Airport.
There are approximately 4,700 undergraduate students enrolled at Princeton. An entering freshman class usually numbers 1,200, with students coming from all parts of the United States and from more than 45 countries. The men-to-women ratio in recent years has been approximately 51:49. International students comprise about 9 percent of the undergraduates. More than half of the students in each entering class receive financial aid.
Princeton has approximately 700 full-time faculty members and an additional 300 or so part-time and visiting faculty. All faculty members at Princeton teach as well as engage in scholarly research. The faculty includes recipients of the Nobel Prize in physics, literature, economic sciences, and medicine.

At Princeton, many parts of campus open on to others through archways. It is easy to traverse the campus by foot.
Train: Trains to Princeton Junction Station can be boarded at New York City’s Penn Station and Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station. From Princeton Junction, a single-car train, known locally as the “Dinky,” makes the five-minute trip to the southwestern corner of the Princeton University campus. Most buildings are then within walking distance. The Dinky does not meet every train, so consult a current schedule before making travel plans. Taxi service also is available from Princeton Junction.
Airplane: Newark Liberty International Airport is most convenient to Princeton. The AirTrain monorail transports travelers directly from the airport to New Jersey Transit trains on the Northeast Corridor line. At Princeton Junction, transfer to the Dinky.
Shuttle service between the airport and Princeton is available through the Airporter (their courtesy phones are located at the airport terminals’ limousine counters). These vans stop regularly at Baker Rink, Forbes College, and Nassau Inn in Princeton. The Airporter also serves New York’s Kennedy Airport.
From Philadelphia International Airport, trains and taxis are available to Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station; Amtrak service to Princeton is available from the station.
Bus: New Jersey’s Suburban Transit Corporation provides bus service from the Port Authority Bus Terminal at Eighth Avenue and 41st Street in New York City. Buses leave New York and Princeton every half hour during the day for the two-hour trip.
