About

 

Whitman College is one of the six residential colleges at Princeton University, offering a vibrant community that supports students—freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors—throughout their academic journeys. The college is enhanced by the presence of resident graduate students, faculty fellows, and a dedicated administrative staff, all committed to fostering a dynamic learning environment. Named in honor of Meg Whitman ’77, a distinguished business leader, Whitman College features a theater, studios, classrooms, common spaces, and the inviting Community Hall.

With around 500 undergraduates living in seven residence halls—Fisher Hall, Wendell Hall, Murley-Pivirotto Family Tower, Hargadon Hall, Lauritzen Hall, Baker Hall, and 1981 Hall—students are part of a thriving community. Juniors and seniors who choose upperclass housing also return to participate in non-departmental advising and college events. Since its inauguration in the fall of 2007, Whitman College has been establishing new traditions that strengthen the deep sense of community enhancing the educational experience at Princeton.
