Day 1 & 2 - Princeton University

August 10--

We left our town at about 12:00 p.m., headed north via the eastern shore to our first stop--Princeton, NJ.

We got in to the town late, and after dinner, we proceeded to drive to the Princeton University campus so that we would be able to find our way in the morning.

First Impression: Oh my god, this is where angels go to die.

Stand-out points: Panera Bread, Sperry store, the buildings

I found it extremely helpful to drive around campus before the actual visit the next day, as I could more easily get my bearings having already seen the basic outlay.

We woke up leisurely and filled our stomachs before heading out to campus.  We had planned on leaving about an hour and a half to two hours to explore campus and the surrounding community before the guided campus tour at 1:00 p.m.

The campus was just as stunning in the daylight as it was the night before.  Parking was super convenient and easy... I suggest Lot 10 to get as close as possible on the weekends.

We walked through the famous gates to arrive at Nassau Hall.


We walked around the Frist Campus Center, found some of the important buildings, and for me, we walked around McCosh Hall, which houses the Department of English.

Our tour was at 1:00, departing from Chancellor Green, and was well-led, constructed, and overall very informative.

Look for a detailed review later.  

Now, off to NYC!
