Princeton University is a private institution that was founded in 1746. It has a total undergraduate enrollment of 5,394, its setting is suburban, and the campus size is 600 acres. It utilizes a semester-based academic calendar.
Princeton, among the oldest colleges in the U.S., is located in the quiet town of Princeton, New Jersey. Architecture at Princeton University is a fusion of styles, with the oldest buildings constructed in a collegiate Gothic style, which has come to be something of a trademark of the institution. More recently, 20th century architects such as Frank Gehry and Rafael Viñoly have put their stamp on the newer university buildings, which are constructed in a more modernist style. Works of 20th-century art are scattered throughout the grounds.
