Location

001 Robertson Hall (lower level)  (only those who have pre-registered and received email confirmation of registration may attend)
Princeton University
Princeton, New Jersey 08544-1013

Parking
Mass transit is a much preferred way to get to the Princeton University campus, as parking is extremely limited. NJ Transit (Northeast Corridor line) stops at Princeton Junction, allowing visitors to either grab a taxi to campus from there or to transfer to the "Dinky" Princeton station (about a 15-20 minute walk across campus to Robertson Hall).

One-day Visitor Parking
Visitors coming to campus on weekdays from 8 am to 5 pm may park in Lot 21, near Jadwin Gym or the visitor parking area in Lot 23, near the West Garage. TigerTransit operates frequently from both locations during weekdays until early evening.

There is 10 hour metered parking along (part of) Prospect Street and William Street on either side of Robertson Hall, but these spots are generally taken by early morning.

For questions about accessibility or to request accommodations, please contact Michele Epstein at 609-258-6493 or indicate on the registration form. Two weeks advance notice will allow us to provide seamless access.
