Walking Directions to the Institute for Advanced Study From Princeton Train Station*

You should refer to the PiTP Master Map when following these directions. (The relative locations of the station and the Institute are marked in red boxes on the map. If you do not see the text in red boxes, please check your viewer).
It is about a 15-minute walk from the station to the Institute. Turn right out of the station onto University Place and make the first left on College Road. Walk College Road across Alexander Street and continue on to where the road forks. Take the right fork (the left proceeds up a hill and ends at the Princeton University Graduate School). Follow the right fork of College Road till it ends at Springdale Road. Turn left on Springdale and walk to the third right, then turn right and walk on Ober Road to Olden Lane. Cross Olden Lane and walk up Einstein Drive (circular drive) onto the Institute Campus.
As you walk along Einstein Drive towards the campus, stay to the left at the forks, passing turn offs on your right for Battle Road Circle and Maxwell Lane. Continue walking along Einstein as it keeps curving to the left, passing the entrance to Parking Lot B on your right.
Fuld Hall (the main administration building) will be on your right after you pass Parking Lot B; it is the building with the clock tower. If you enter the front doors of Fuld Hall, you will find the Reception Office on your right.
One note, the streets are not well-lit in the area so if you will be walking in the evening after sunset, you may wish to bring a flashlight with you.
