Congratulations on your acceptance to Princeton!
As you consider the possibility of attending Princeton University, we at The Daily Princetonian would like to introduce ourselves. The 'Prince' is the only daily news publication covering the University and the town of Princeton. Our paper—300+ students strong—is student-run, not-for-profit, and completely financially independent from the University. We keep you up-to-date and strive to share the stories of fellow Princetonians.
To help you get to know Princeton, we’ve put together several of our articles about Princeton life. See below for more!
If you’re interested in what food, eating clubs, sports, and local towns are like, please check out Campus—The Daily Princetonian’s own student web app! You can see the live menus of what Princeton students are eating.
If you’re looking for something more fun, check out our crosswords page!
