Favorite Things To Do
Princeton students are avid sports fans, so football, basketball, ice hockey, and lacrosse games tend to draw huge student contingents. The Frist Campus Center is a popular place, as it houses an extensive dining facility, the campus coffeehouse Café Vivian, the campus movie theater, and vast classroom space. In addition to the performance space in Frist, many campus performance spaces are used on almost a weekly basis for the various dance groups, acting troupes, and a cappella groups on campus.
Without even leaving campus, students can take a run around Carnegie Lake, go to a movie for $2, watch excellent live theater including the famous Triangle Club kick line (of cross-dressing men), work out in the state-of-the-art gym facilities, practice their musical instruments or have a music lesson, develop photos in one of several campus dark rooms, or sip a latte in the Campus Center’s Café Vivian, which is named for the wife of former University President Harold Shapiro.
