No matter what time of the year you are in Princeton, there are always events occurring on the Princeton University campus. The campus life is so dynamic that you can find seminars and events almost every few hours every day at some part of campus, including academic, art, or athletic. Moreover, more than 300 student organizations are created and run by students with support from the University. They run the gamut from music and dance to politics and debate, from service and social activities to cultural and educational interests. And if you can't find the exact group you are looking for, you can always consider starting your own.

One of Princeton’s defining characteristics is its small, residential community for undergraduate and graduate students. Nearly all of the University’s undergraduates and 70 percent of the graduate students live on beautiful campus, which creates a close-knit environment for living, studying and relaxing. The heart of undergraduate residential life at Princeton lies in our six residential colleges, groups of dormitories that form mini-communities within the University. The opportunities and resources provided at the colleges — from cultural events and intramural sports to study breaks — help students pursue their interests and get involved, with staff nearby for advising and support. Graduate students usually lives in graduate college or residential areas. The graduate students have their own room with shared bathroom or cooking and dining areas. The monthly rent (including all the provisions) may range from $700 to $1400 per month in University housing.
