Community Resources

This is a list, by no means exhaustive, of places of worship, shops, and services that may be of interest to students of color. You should call ahead to learn whether these resources meet your specific needs and interests — and consult the Princeton/Trenton telephone book for accurate directory information. Better still, talk with your friends and advisers, deans and center directors, about your specific needs and interests.
