Around Town

USG does a nice job at offering activities that do not include alcohol. There is everything from ice skating nights to broadway musicals. The student body is also very artsy making it so that there are always comedy shows or plays on the weekends. The Acapella groups perform on the weekend nights at around 11 -12 AM. Also, in terms of social life, Princeton has what is known as The Street ( Prospect Street): a street full of twelve eating clubs ( our versions of frats). Here you see basically the same scene as you do at any college, apart from the bouncers and lists/passes.

Princeton definatly has a party culture. However, as someone who is not into that scene, I have never felt left out or at a loss for something to do. There is no shortage of people who do party and no shortage of those who don't. The campus and student government do a great job of supplying many alternate events (like free, sometimes early released, movies every weekend!).

There is lots available from partying to catching a few shows, a free movie(pop corn and soda included), hanging with friends, going to an art museum, going to the theater, etc.

There are always many clubs and activities to participate in at Princeton. Also, New York City is just an hour away by train!

There are all kinds of things to do for fun here. If the Street isn't your thing, the university offers free movies every weekend at the local movie theater, complete with buttered popcorn and soda, and there are free talks and concerts offered all the time. On weeknights, there are always loads of study breaks with tons of free food. Also, we're a short train ride away from both Philly and NYC, so the school sponsors tons of trips.

Go to the Street, go to the city, go to student events.

There is so much to do that you will not be able to do everything. There is a movie theatre that plays free movies every week. Princeton is also a train ride away from New York City and Princeton offers subsidized tickets/transportation to Broadway shows and other performances. There are a lot of student groups on campus that also have events and performances.

There is an abundance of clubs, groups, and organizations for everyone. The sports teams are rigorous, the club sports are fun, the going out scene is great.

Princeton isn't known as the orange bubble for nothing. The campus is very self-contained and most of your entertainment will be found here. Some suggestions: -The USG sponsors free movies every weekend at the Garden Theater. Free popcorn and soda are included. -We have a lot of fantastic performing arts groups on campus. Find a few groups you like and follow the work they're doing - everybody stays busy throughout the year. I would highly recommend checking out Quipfire, one of our great improv troupes.

The Street! I love it, but that's not the only thing going on. Princeton is bursting with activities, all year long.
