New Students

Welcome to Princeton University!

After you accept the admission from Princeton University, do you want to make some new friends who are also coming to Princeton soon? If so, you can go to Zixia BBS Princeton Board... 

• Zixia BBS Princeton Board (大话西游之爱因斯坦故乡)

Another Forum you should know is ACSSPU's BBS. We have a "New Students" board, and you can ask any question there. Many Princetonian will help you get to know Princeton well...

• ACSS BBS

When you get your US visa successfully, you can book your flight. Two things to remember:
1. Airports. There are two International Airport around Princeton within 1hr drive. One is Newark International Airport (EWR), and the other one is Philadelphia International Airport (PHL).  Avoid JFK, since traffic through New York City is nearly impossible.
2. Book tickets with your new friends, and come as a group if you can.

After you get the air ticket, you can contact acsspu to help you find a volunteer to pick you up. Please write the email at least 10 days before your planned arrival. Tell us your name, flight number, arrival date/time, luggage size and amount, as well as how many people are coming together. 

OK, now you may be wondering what to bring, what to prepare, and be very anxious to the new life! Here are some guides you can read. They are useful to your preparation, as well as your life at Princeton.

• A Chinese Guide of Living at Princeton University (普林生存手册)

• A Guide for Graduate Students (from Graduate School)

After you arrive at Princeton, you may check our links page for some useful campus links and local links. And don't forget to email acsspu to join in our association!

Hope you have a wonderful life at Princeton!
