Princeton’s close-knit residential college system is a cornerstone of the campus community. 

The seven colleges that comprise our residential college system—Butler, Forbes, Mathey, New College West, Rockefeller (Rocky), Whitman, and Yeh—are designed to blend living and learning experiences, offering a depth of support to students both inside and outside of the classroom. They include a broad community of advisers and professional staff who are invested in student success.
