    Princeton University is a private Ivy League research university located in Princeton, New Jersey, United States. Founded in 1746 inElizabeth as the College of New Jersey, Princeton is one of the nine Colonial Colleges established before the American Revolution as well as the fourth chartered institution of higher education in the American colonies.[5][6] The university moved to Newark in 1747, then to Princeton in 1756 and was renamed Princeton University in 1896.[7] The present-day College of New Jersey in nearby Ewing Township, New Jersey, is an unrelated institution. Princeton had close ties to the Presbyterian Church, but has never been affiliated with any denomination[8] and today imposes no religious requirements on its students.[9]
