University of Princeton

Student life

A vast range of cultural, educational, athletic and social activities are available to Princeton students, faculty and staff. Getting involved in campus life is the quickest way to become a part of the University community, and to create one's own Princeton experience. Campus life activities are built around the concepts of encouraging each community member to express his or her talents.


Some 300 student-led organizations make it easy for Princeton students to pursue existing interests or explore new ones. Students may choose to participate in dance, media (film, broadcast and print), music (vocal and instrumental), theater, service and social, political and special interest, student government, debate, educational, ethnic and religious organizations.


Princeton University offers a number of student services including nonremedial tutoring, women's center, health service, and health insurance. The "global classroom" at Princeton provides numerous opportunities for students to learn from and incorporate international perspectives and experiences throughout their academic careers, including opportunities to study more than 20 modern languages. Throughout their Princeton experience, all students can benefit from the opportunity to study and conduct research with some of today's greatest global scholars. Princeton's extensive library system and art museum bring the world to campus, with collections from regions across the globe and through the ages.


Library

Princeton University Library, one of the world’s most distinguished research libraries, consists of the Harvey S. Firestone Memorial Library and nine buildings across campus. The library's collections include more than 8 million books, 6 million microforms, 49,000 linear feet of manuscripts, and impressive holdings of rare books, prints, archives and other material that require special handling. The library's extensive electronic resources include databases and journals, statistical packages, images and digital maps.

Accommodation

Housing is guaranteed for undergraduates, and nearly all students live on campus. The residential experience is central to Princeton's educational program, and the residential colleges offer students a supportive and enriching environment full of opportunities for personal growth. Undergraduate life at Princeton begins in the residential colleges. All first- and second-year students live in one of the six colleges: Butler, Forbes, Mathey, Rockefeller, Whitman or Wilson. Many juniors and seniors also draw into the four-year colleges: Butler, Mathey and Whitman.
