<p>I was wondering how accessible new york city is from princeton, do the students go to new york frequently, and if so what sort of transportation is available?</p>
<p>It's an hour away by train (which is the most popular form of transportation for getting there), and how frequently depends on the student. Most don't get off campus too much, from what several students have told me, but that's simply because there's already so much to do on campus. However, NYC is really accessible, which was definitely one of Princeton's selling points for me :)</p>
<p>there are also trips to new york through the residential colleges</p>
<p>It's a nap-on-the-train away from Penn Station :D</p>
