Princeton University

What used to be known as the College of New Jersey from 1746 to 1896, Princeton University has allowed their New Jersey location to be detrimental to their students education, athletics, or college experience. Despite the infamous reputation of the Jersey Shore and fellow New Jersey locals, Princeton, as the fourth oldest college in the United States, separates their students from the dirty and immoral locals by staying true to their roots of tradition, respect, and honor.
The student-athlete's at Princeton know the expectation they are expected to live up to and respect. Princeton offers intramural, club, and both women's and men's sports teams. As a member of the Ivy League, Princeton is extremely competitive, dedicated, and talented when it comes to both athletics and academics. Tickets to their athletic events sell out quickly and their stadiums can seat the entire student body as well as over 20,000 loyal Princeton fans. Princeton athletics is specifically known for their powerful football and lacrosse teams.
Their campus includes many historic and old buildings including the [1] McCarter Theatre which receives donations from Thomas McCarter as well as other alumni to support the student performers of Prince, [2] Nassau Hall (the oldest building on their campus), and the famous [3] Princeton University Art Museum which holds over 70,000 treasures.
Around the buildings on campus, one can see the respects made to former graduating classes in the form of Ivy Stones, which pay their respects to older classes.
Ivy stones are just one of the many traditions and legends of the historic Princeton Campus. The FitzRandolph Gate's, known by all students, is rumored to curse undergraduates into never graduating if they leave campus under its arches. Princeton brings true meaning to the term "Ivy" League, by having many buildings covered in the legendary ivy. The ivy covered buildings, prestigious athletics, and competitive acceptance rate make Princeton students have an unforgettable college experience.
