- Princeton University Graduate College
The Graduate College at Princeton University is a residential college which serves as the center of graduate student life at Princeton. It was dedicated on October 22, 1913, during the tenure of the first dean of the Graduate School, Andrew Fleming West and was the first residential college in the United States devoted solely to postgraduate liberal studies. The group of Collegiate Gothic buildings was designed by Ralph Adams Cram and located on a hill, one-half mile west of the main campus. Its most prominent architectural landmark is the 173-ft-high Cleveland Tower.
The Graduate College currently houses approximately 430 graduate students, mostly in their first-year of graduate study.
