Frist Campus Center

Frist Campus Center is the social hub of Princeton. Whether it’s late-mealing at the Food Gallery, attending precept, studying on the third floor or catching a late night flick at the theater, chances are you’ll pass through Frist at least once a day. Witherspoon’s is great for catching coffee (make that double espressos) with your preceptors, while the Convenience Store (open until at least 2 a.m.) is the perfect solution to late-night candy cravings. The Center Stage Program also hosts a plethora of fun -- and free! -- events at Frist, like monthly jazz sessions, meditation workshops, food tastings and seasonal festivals.

Directly above the Food Gallery, which offers a pizzeria, deli, grill, Asian stir-fry station and specialty station, are a wide-screen TV, a billiards room and several dozen tables and booths for study or conversation. Snail-mail services can also be found here; all undergraduate student mailboxes are located at Frist, and packages can be retrieved from, well, the Package Room. You'll also find ATMs, e-mail terminals, computer tech support, ticket sales for campus events, photocopiers, payphones and a big friendly piano. There's also the Welcome Desk, where you can find the answer to almost any question.

Frist's upper floors have a rather nice theater, lots of study spaces, several computing clusters, classrooms, cultural and service centers, two entire academic departments (Near Eastern and East Asian studies) and a medium-sized library (East Asian). It's a busy place.

The basement consists almost entirely of the massive Multipurpose Room, where you'll find everything from blood drives to haunted houses.
