By car
From North. Take the New Jersey Turnpike South, get off at Exit 9, New
Brunswick. Immediately after the toll booths, turn right onto Route 18 North, move quickly to the second lane from the left, and look for the exit sign for Route 1 South to Trenton and Princeton. Exit, to take Route 1 South, go about 20 minutes, pass the Forrestal Village and exit right to Washington Road. This brings you to campus.
From South. Take I-95 North. After you enter New Jersey, look for the exit to Princeton Pike North. Princeton Pike becomes Mercer Street when you enter Princeton and ends at Nassau Street.
By Plane
The best is to fly into Newark Airport. Philadelphia and New York’s JF Kennedy are also possible; Philadelphia is about an hour away, and JF Kennedy two hours away.
There is limousine service (really a van) from Newark and Kennedy Airports to Princeton

Also, cheaper and probably better, from Newark Airport, there is monorail connection directly to the New Jersey Transit station. There, you can take NJ Transit train (every half hour, more frequent during rush hours, less frequent in the evening) to Princeton Junction, and then transfer to the “Dinky” to get to Princeton. The Dinky station is on campus, only a ten minute walk from Nassau Inn. But, if you have much luggage and think that you will need a cab, you are better off taking a taxi at Princeton Junction.
From Philadelphia Airport, you take a train to the main Pennsylvania Station in Philadelphia, there transfer to a SEPTA train North to Trenton, and then transfer to NJ Transit for a short hop to Princeton Junction.
