Princeton University
Chartered in 1746 as the Colle GE of New Jersey, Princeton was British North America' s fourth colle GE. First located in Elizabeth, then in Newark, the Colle GE moved to Princeton in 1756. The Colle GE was housed in Nassau Hall, newly built on land donated by Nathaniel and Rebeckah FitzRandolph. Nassau Hall contained the entire Colle GE for nearly half a century. The Colle GE was officially renamed Princeton University in 1896 five years later in 1900 the Graduate School was established. Fully coeducational since 1969, Princeton now enrolls approximately 6,400 students (4,535 undergraduates and 1,866 graduate students). The ratio of full-time students to faculty members (in full-time equivalents) is eight to one. Today Princeton' s main campus in Princeton Borough and Princeton Township consists of more than 5.5 million square feet of space in 160 buildings on 600 acres. The University' s James Forrestal Campus in Plainsboro consists of one million square feet of space in four complexes on 340 acres. As Mercer County' s lar GEst private employer and one of the lar GEst in the Mercer/Middlesex/Somerset County region, with approximately 4,830 permanent employees - including more than 1,000 faculty members - the University plays a major role in the educational, cultural, and economic life of the region. .
