Princeton University

Princeton is attainable, accessible, and affordable. Students explore their interests on a much greater and more personal level through our liberal arts curriculum that emphasizes creativity, innovation, and collaboration. Through Princeton’s extraordinary academic resources, students can expect to go deeper in their academic pursuits, culminating with the senior thesis project. With a 5:1 student-to-faculty ratio, undergraduates learn from and are mentored by Princeton faculty members who are not just innovators and researchers but also listeners and supporters. Princeton’s close-knit community extends beyond the classroom with its unique residential college system. Our need-based financial aid program is one of the most generous in the country and is designed to encourage all qualified students — regardless of financial circumstances — to consider applying for admission. In fact, families with incomes up to $150,000 pay nothing in tuition, housing, and food. Currently, 69% of Princeton students receive financial aid.
