Princeton University (Princeton, NJ)

Princeton University, a private, research university located in Princeton, New Jersey, is one of the preeminent “Ivy League” schools in the United States. Founded in 1746 as the College of New Jersey, it is one of the nine colonial colleges established before the American Revolution. Many famous names are associated with the university, from Jonathan Edwards to Woodrow Wilson to Albert Einstein.

Princeton has a current enrollment of 8,010 students, and admits fewer than eight percent of students who apply. However, students who are admitted receive financial aid to cover 100 percent of their demonstrated need through grants and work study. Sixty-six percent of students receive financial aid, and students typically graduate with less than $5000 in debt.

The university currently offers undergraduate degrees in humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and engineering. Unlike other Ivy League schools, Princeton does not have medical, law, divinity, or business schools, but it does offer graduate degrees in public and international affairs, engineering and applied science, and architecture. Two other world-renowned institutions of higher learning are in close physical proximity, though administratively independent of, the university: Princeton Theological Seminary and the Institute for Advanced Study.

The 500-acre campus is one of Travel + Leisure’s Most Beautiful Campuses in the Country, so it is no wonder why 99 percent of the student body lives on campus. The campus is also home to the Princeton University Art Museum, whose collection contains pieces by Monet, Cezanne, Van Gogh, and Warhol. U.S. New & World Report has named Princeton the #1 school in the nation.

Princeton University is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.
