NJTransit train schedule from Newark (if you plan to take the train from Newark to Princeton, purchase a ticket with Princeton as the destination, but get off at the Princeton Junction stop. Then walk over to catch the Dinky, using the same ticket. That way, you'll have already paid for your fare on the Dinky). http://www.njtransit.com/sf/sf_servlet.srv?hdnPageAction=TrainSchedulesTo

Traveling to Princeton University
You may travel to the Princeton University campus by air, car or train. Travel directions and campus maps for Princeton University can be found at http://www.princeton.edu/main/visiting/travel/.
Please see http://www.princeton.edu/main/visiting/files/princeton_map.pdf for a detailed map of the campus.
By air
The two closest and most accessible airports are Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), which is 40 miles north;Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), which is 55 miles south.
From either airport, you may drive or take a shuttle (Olympic Airporter) to the Princeton campus. Information for the shuttle can be found at http://www.olympic-limo.com/ or call 800-822-9797. Approximate fare from Newark Airport is $40, and from Philadelphia Airport is $72. Reservations for the shuttle must be made at least one day in advance.
By car
Directions to Princeton can be found at http://www.princeton.edu/main/visiting/travel/driving/. When you approach the Princeton campus, you will begin to see signs for Princeton-CEFRC Summer School at the intersection of Washington Road and Faculty Road directing you to the registration area. Drive up from the intersection of Washington Road and Faculty Road towards campus along Washington Road following the signage. On the left hand side is the Icahn Lab. Immediately past the Icahn Lab, there is a driveway. Turn into the driveway and follow signs to the area for temporary parking. You may leave your car in this area and proceed to the covered area outside Scully Hall where the Registration tables are located. After checking in and receiving your packet at Registration, drop off your luggage in your assigned dorm room. Then return to your vehicle and proceed to parking Lot 32 Upper (see directions to Lot 32).
By train
Directions to Princeton can be found at http://www.princeton.edu/main/visiting/travel/trains/. If coming by train (Amtrak or New Jersey Transit), purchase tickets for Princeton Station. Then get off at the Princeton Junction stop, and transfer to a shuttle train operated by New Jersey Transit, known locally as the “Dinky” for a five minute ride to Princeton Station. The station is located at University Place at the southern end of campus, across from the McCarter Theatre Center. From the Dinky stop, walk behind the New South building, between South Baker (on left) and Baker Rink (on right) towards Butler College, to the Registration tables outside Scully Hall. After receiving your participant packet at registration, proceed to your assigned dorm room to drop off your luggage.
*Note that if the Dinky is not running (sometimes in the evenings) look for a shuttle bus parked below the Dinky line, which will take you to Princeton, or alternatively, you can take a cab from Princeton Junction to Princeton.
