Eating Clubs
For many juniors and seniors, Princeton's 11 historic eating clubs — the first opened in 1879 — offer a hub for dining and social life. The clubs, which are located in architecturally distinctive houses along Prospect Avenue, serve daily meals prepared by a head chef and staff.
Each club typically includes 120 to 180 members who eat together in the club's private dining halls. Guest meals and meal exchanges are available to freshmen and sophomores and independent students.
Princeton's eating clubs are governed by student officers under the auspices of independent alumni boards. Each club works to provide an array of public service, athletic, leadership and academic extracurricular programs. The clubs also sponsor joint educational and service initiatives through the Princeton Prospect Foundation.
Club facilities generally include libraries, game rooms, audiovisual equipment, study spaces, computer clusters and athletics facilities. All clubs also offer students wireless access to the campus computing network.
