Travel
Planes
For flights, we recommend that you fly into EWR (Newark Liberty International Airport). From there you may catch the AirTrain monorail to the NJ Transit Newark Airport train station and take the NE Corridor Line to Princeton Junction. At Princeton Junction, you can catch the “Dinky” shuttle to the Princeton train station. Another way to get to Princeton from Newark or JFK is by taking the Princeton Airporter, a shuttle van. See below for more info on both train travel and the airporter.
Trains
If you are taking the train, both Amtrak and NJ Transit stop at Princeton Junction. You can take the “Dinky” shuttle from Princeton Junction to the Princeton train station.
Our Tenth Reunion grounds are a 3 to 5 minute walk from the Princeton train station.
The University has arranged with Amtrak to provide a 10% discount off of the lowest fare for Reunions travelers. For details on this offer, please see the PDF linked below:
