Campus Life

The food here is the best you can get at any other college. Each college is full of a different variety of food. There are always numerous amounts of study breaks that bring products from near by restauraunts to the students for free. Every Thursday night there is four hibachi grills set up in the Graduate College: pasta, soups, salads, and a type of meat. Brunch on sundays is delicious everywhere you go, but Forbes is known especially for their chocolate fountain on Sunday's. There is also a variety of high quality restaurants on Nassau street ( edging the North of Campus) where one can eat to spice up the food options.

The food here is very good. It is served buffet style so that once you are in the dining hall, you can eat as much as you please, and there is always a good variety of choices. There are 4 major dining halls for undergraduates (5 counting the grad college), which are all open to all students for every meal, and which all serve different kinds of food. Menus vary, but can be checked online. Also, get the unlimited plan. Then you can eat all the food, swipe in as many times as you want, guest people in, and get free food at the campus center for late meal when you aren't eating regular meals.

The dining hall food (especially the desserts) is really good. It's like any such dining situation where after a while you do get a little tired of it. As a freshman, I can't say much about the eating clubs.

Doesn't get any better!

6 dining halls, and 10 eating clubs for upperclassmen

Residential college dining halls are pretty standard. As an upperclassman, you usually make the switch from residential college dining halls to one of twelve eating clubs on Prospect Street, which we lovingly refer to as The Street. Membership into an eating club is slightly more expensive than a meal plan, but the food is MUCH better, and you have a much larger say in what is made for each meal.

The food is pretty good. The brunches at Whitman and Forbes every weekend are fantastic.

The dining halls are healthy and have a good variety of food. The eating clubs are famous and are a ton of fun. It's nice to have a space to hang out, eat, and go out at night as well.

I'm currently home for Spring Break and dreading heading back for another few months of dorm food. Luckily, I know Princeton will do its best to break up the monotony. One of the (few) good things about living in Forbes is the food - we have a fancy brunch every Sunday and a delicious monthly vegetarian night, and every Wednesday night tends to be pretty special food.

Dining hall food isn't the greatest, but there are other options on and off campus that make up for it.

Greek life at Princeton exists, but is marginal. Instead, we have eating clubs.

Not really applicable. There are a few groups, but they are not officially recognized by the university. Freshmen are forbidden from rushing. Princeton has their own unique eating club system, which upperclassmen join for their meals. These clubs each possess there own mansion on what is know as the Street, they also serve as the center of the party culture.

Not officially recognized by the school and freshmen are not allowed to rush but we have eating clubs for parties.

Pretty much non-existent.

Greek life definitely isn't major on campus. This past year, the school declared that freshmen are no longer allowed to rush, and they now have to wait until sophomore year. There may be a few frats and sororities that were outraged by this change, but for the most part it affects us very little. For the most part, eating clubs take the place of frat houses at night - they're a large part of our night life.

Little Greek life. Eating Clubs are Princeton's version of frats and sororities.

There are sororities and frats, but they don't make up much of the social life. A lot of the parties happen on Prospect Avenue with the eating clubs.

I'm not involved with Greek life, but I have several friends who are - the three sororities tend to be fairly popular and I know a lot of girls who really love what Greek life is adding to their college experience. The frats are less popular and, from what I hear about them, less fun.

Pretty much nonexistent.

There are frats and sororities, but they are not prominent. Eating clubs replace Greek life for the most part.
