Princeton brings together undergraduate and graduate students from all backgrounds, and every corner of the earth, to share their experiences and perspectives with one another. All University programs and activities are open to all eligible students without regard to identity.
Housing and DiningFirst- and second-year students live and dine in one of the University’s seven residential colleges: Butler, Forbes, Mathey, New College West, Rockefeller, Whitman or Yeh. In their junior and senior years, students have the option of continuing to live in their residential college or move into the nonaffiliated, upperclass dormitories.
Approximately 96% of Princeton undergraduates live on campus. Approximately 62% of juniors and seniors in the Class of 2023 and 2024 took their meals at one of 11 private, coed eating clubs. Many juniors and seniors choose to continue eating in the residential colleges; others may join a cooperative, cook their own meals in dormitory kitchens, or make other independent arrangements. In addition to dining at one of the residential dining halls, all students may enjoy meals at the Center for Jewish Life (which houses the University’s kosher dining facility), Frist Campus Center or one of the numerous campus cafés. Halal options are available to students in the residential colleges and at Frist Food Gallery. Students can also order kosher meals to have in any of the residential dining halls with 24 hours’ advance notice.
Eating ClubsThe 11 eating clubs are private, coeducational dining and social clubs that are part of a tradition that extends over 140 years. Each club has its own distinctive architecture and culture, and members often think of their club as a “home away from home.” Six clubs have a selective membership process, while five clubs are open to any student who wants to join. In addition to meals and social events, the clubs provide a range of activities and opportunities. While the club fees, billed separately, are more expensive than other meal plan options, Princeton provides increased financial aid to sophomores, juniors and seniors, contributing toward the additional cost.
Housing for Enrolled Graduate StudentsPrinceton is a predominantly residential graduate community, and most graduate students live in University housing during their regular enrollment. All new graduate students who apply by the housing deadline are offered University housing, and generally, all regularly enrolled graduate students who wish to live on campus can do so. The University offers an array of housing options for students and their families. Dormitories include historic and modern rooms in the Graduate College and rooms in converted homes, known as annexes. Graduate students may also apply to serve as one of Princeton’s Resident Graduate Students (RGS), who reside in apartments in one of the undergraduate residential colleges. The University’s apartment-style communities, including Lawrence Apartments, Lakeside Apartments and Townhouses, and the recently opened Meadows Apartments, offer a range of unit sizes. University residential life offers academic, athletic, social, cultural, personal development and community service opportunities to graduate students and their families.
Graduate students gather for meals in Procter Hall at the Graduate College, in dining halls at the residential colleges, at Frist Campus Center, at campus cafés, and in the dining hall at the Center for Jewish Life.
Campus CentersThe Princeton community is home to many religious denominations that welcome involvement by students, faculty and staff. The Office of Religious Life supports the religious traditions that flourish on Princeton’s campus and encourages interfaith dialogue and cooperation. Through its own programs and in collaboration with others, the office provides opportunities for community service, cross-cultural understanding and constructive social action. The University also supports 17 campus chaplaincies and numerous faith-based student organizations. Religious facilities at Princeton include the University Chapel and the Center for Jewish Life. The Office of Religious Life is housed in Murray-Dodge Hall, which includes the Muslim Prayer Room, the Interfaith Prayer Room and the Murray-Dodge Café.
AthleticsPrinceton sponsors 38 varsity intercollegiate teams (19 for men, 19 for women), with approximately 1,000 participants—about 20% of the undergraduate population. In 2022–23, Princeton added its 38th varsity sport with the elevation of women’s rugby to varsity status. In addition, an estimated 1,000 students participate in the University’s 39 club teams.
Varsity Sports. Princeton teams have won more Ivy League championships than any school since the formation of the league in 1956. With 541 overall Ivy titles, nearly one-quarter of all Ivy championships won have gone to Princeton teams. Since 2000, 31 of the 33 Princeton teams that compete in official Ivy League sports have won at least one league championship.
Princeton won 13 Ivy League championships in 2023-24, and four other Princeton teams won championships in leagues outside of the Ivy League. The 13 Ivy championships marked the 13th time in 15 years, and 29th time overall, that Princeton has reached double figures in Ivy League championships, something only one other league school has ever done even once. Princeton also finished 34th overall in the Directors’ Cup standings, which measure overall athletic success based on NCAA tournament participation and results.
Campus Recreation. Campus Recreation engages the Princeton University community in co-curricular experiences to inspire lifelong health and well-being. Dillon Gymnasium and the Class of 1986 Fitness and Wellness Center are the dedicated recreation spaces where students and members can access our fitness facilities, basketball courts, swimming pool and multipurpose rooms.
Over 500 teams are active in the intramural program, which schedules competition among residential colleges, eating clubs, independent groups, and faculty and staff. Students can participate in 39 active clubs in the sport club program. Princeton’s group fitness and instructional program offers a variety of strength, cardio, dance, yoga/pilates, cycling and skill development classes that are available for all undergraduate and graduate students with the presentation of their ID (faculty/staff must purchase a membership to access classes).
The Campus Recreation facilities and programs are led by Princeton students, and Campus Recreation has over 150 student employees who assist in providing a safe and fun environment for the campus community.
Athletic FacilitiesStudent organizations are created and run by undergraduate and graduate students with support from the University through the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students, the Pace Center for Civic Engagement, the Office of Religious Life, Campus Recreation, and the Office of the Dean of the Graduate School. Some 500+ organizations make it easy for students to engage their interests outside the classroom.
Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC)Princeton students may participate in the Army, Air Force or Naval ROTC programs. The Army program is hosted at Princeton and includes students from TCNJ, Rider University and Rowan University. The Air Force and Naval programs are cross-town programs hosted at Rutgers University. Princeton ROTC celebrated its 100th anniversary on Veterans Day 2019. Fifty-six students chose to participate in the ROTC programs during the 2023-24 academic year. These programs are conducted by the United States Armed Services. Participants engage in courses and activities that, if successfully completed, lead to a commission as an officer.
