Facts & Figures
Princeton is the fourth-oldest college in the United States. The ambience of its earliest days is palpable in historic landmarks on campus, most notably Nassau Hall, which in 1783 was the temporary capitol of the United States.
From such a distinctive beginning grew something great—a community of learning that continues to evolve, providing abundant opportunities to talented students from around the world.
Today, more than 850 full-time faculty members, who are leaders in their respective disciplines, instruct Princeton's approximately 4,850 undergraduate students and 2,295 graduate students. Princeton also serves as a leader in ensuring admitted students can afford college; in 2001, it developed one of the strongest need-based financial aid programs in the country and was the first to eliminate loans from aid packages.
