10th Reunion Travel and Housing

On-Campus and Near-Campus Housing

Last-Minute Housing Details:

  • Housing is sold out. If you would like to be added to a housing waitlist, please email [email protected].
  • If you have paid for a bed in a given location, you have reserved that bed. There is no lottery or random assignments to the three sites. You picked where you wanted to stay (on-campus, Seminary or Westminster) when you registered.
  • Room assignments will not be released until on-site registration. The University sometimes changes our room allocation at the last second and we have to shuffle the assignments, so no rooms will be announced ahead of time. We have tried our best to meet everyone’s requests.
  • You must bring two (2) $50 checks made out to “Princeton Class of 2001 Reunion” for each bed you have reserved on-campus, at the Seminary or at Westminster. These will serve as key and linen deposits in case keys or linens are not returned. When keys and linens are returned, your checks will be returned to you or shredded.
  • Housing check-in hours are the same as registration hours.
  • Westminster shuttle hours:

Thursday 5/26: 5pm - 2am

Friday 5/27: 10am - 2am

Saturday 5/28: 9am - 2am

Sunday 5/29: 8am – noon

  • You must be checked out of your housing by 11 am Sunday. There will be crew members stationed at the Seminary and Westminster to check-out classmates at those locations. You will not receive your key and linen deposits back if you are not checked out by 11 am.
  • None of the buildings in which we have rooms on-campus or at Westminster have AC, so bringing a fan wouldn’t be a bad idea. The Seminary has AC.
  • Each bed comes with basic linens, including a towel and pillow.  The towels tend to be tiny, so if you are tall, might not be a bad idea to bring your own.

Purchasing Housing

Classmates can purchase on-campus and near-campus (Princeton Theological Seminary and Westminster Choir College) dormitory housing when registering. If you pay for a bed in a given location, you have reserved that bed. There is no lottery.

Roommate preferences and requests to be near other classmates will be taken into consideration when rooms are assigned in the spring, but cannot be guaranteed. The Class does not receive its Princeton on-campus room allotment until April or May. Thus, we cannot confirm whether you will have a single, double, be next to your friend Joe, be in Pyne, etc. before arrival on campus Reunions weekend.

Housing fees are non-refundable, but if you are unable to attend you may designate another classmate to use any beds you have reserved.

On-campus – SOLD OUT : Rooms in a variety of configurations (single, double triple, etc), all twin beds, do not yet know location of rooms on campus.

  • $135 / bed for the whole weekend (not per night or per room).
