Travel

Princeton University is accessible by train from both Newark International Airport, New York City Penn Station, and Philadelphia International Airport. From Newark, one takes the NJ Transit rail to Princeton Junction; the “dinky” train then travels the remaining leg to campus.

From Philadelphia Airport, one takes the SEPTA R1 line to 30th street station, switching to the R7 line to Trenton, New Jersey. In Trenton station, switch to the NJ Transit line north to Princeton Junction.

The Princeton Train station is on the east side of campus, on University Place near Alexander Street. The Hotel is on the north edge of campus, approximately 1km from the train station.

Public Transportation
Princeton has little in the way of public transportation, beyond the rail system connecting the town to the cities of New York and Philadelphia. Travel within the city is on foot or by car. While the city is relatively compact, those who choose a hotel outside of the town are advised to rent a car.
