How to get to Princeton
General information about traveling to Princeton can be found on the university website.
Send questions about travel to Ma. Florevel C. Fusin-Wischusen: floe@princeton.edu.
The most convenient airport is Newark Liberty International (EWR):
- Use the airport tram to get to the airport's train station.
- Buy a (round-trip) New Jersey Transit ticket from the airport train station to Princeton Junction station (PJC) or the university, via the Princeton Dinky. There are vending machines for tickets in the main airport and in the train station (before and after the tram), and a smartphone app. The train that travels this route is called the Northeast Corridor Line, and it is in the opposite direction of New York City.
- Princeton Junction station is a short drive (an hour walk) from the university, and this last part of the trip is what the "Dinky" covers. If you use the Dinky train instead of a taxi/ride share, you'll have to switch trains at Princeton Junction. There is also a TigerTransit campus bus (Route 4) between Princeton Junction and the university.
If you're coming from other New York City airports, you'll need to get to Penn Station (34th street, 8th avenue, Manhattan) to take the New Jersey Transit's Northeast Corridor Line from there to Princeton Junction/Princeton Dinky.
If you're coming from elsewhere in the northeast U.S., note that Amtrak also goes to Princeton Junction.
From a small number of locations it may also be possible to fly to Trenton-Mercer Airport. Getting from there to the Princeton campus is more complicated and involves buses and/or going to the train station in Trenton and taking New Jersey Transit trains, as above.
You could also drive. The university is about an hour south-west of Newark (EWR) airport, and longer from other airports because of travel through downtown New York City.
