Facilities Info Center

Move In is an exciting time on campus. Here are some practical suggestions for planning your arrival to campus as well as information about what to expect when you get here.

Check In
Check In is the process of actually "checking in" with Housing Department staff to receive your dorm room key. In an effort to provide a more pleasant and organized experience, as well as to protect the grounds at Princeton, there are specific guidelines for parking and off-loading your belongings.

Campus Services
Knowing what services are available to you and how to access them is an important part of Move In. You will need to know about laundry facilities and services on campus, in room technology, campus banking options, storage availability, and mail services including tips on having packages sent to campus. You may also need the services of the Facilities Customer Services Center.

Dorm Room Essentials
Knowing what furniture is contained in your room, and what appliances are authorized for dormitory living will help you to decide what to bring and what to leave at home. There is information about linen size requirements as well as information on decorating your room. You may want to wait until you get here to buy some items; since there are several places on campus to purchase dorm room furnishings.

Getting Around Campus
The campus map will provide direction to your Residential College as well as parking areas and places of interest during Move In. Use the Campus Shuttle, your bicycle, or the many pedestrian paths throughout campus.

Campus Dining
The Dining Halls in the Residential Colleges and the Frist Campus Center, will begin serving meals during Move In. Other eateries throughout campus will be open for snacks and meals.
