Recreation
With activities ranging from exercise to shopping, students have many options to indulge in during their free time. On scheduled days, students have access to a basketball court on Princeton’s campus. Moreover, with vast open space and greenery at Princeton, students can play soccer, Frisbee or even go on a leisurely jog. Additionally, embarking on a four-minute walk to Nassau Street, right outside of Princeton’s Campus is also a great location for students to bond, whether over frozen yogurt, a hoagie or a productive trip to the mall. Past free-time activities have included:
- Soccer, Basketball, Frisbee, Volleyball, Four Square
