Life at Princeton can be stressful, but in the midst of it all are many places of beauty and peace.
Murray-Dodge Hall has two prayer rooms on the third floor, one dedicated to the Muslim community’s use for continual daily prayers (salaat) and the other for any who want to stop in. There are outdoor places of peace as well, including the beautiful Prospect Gardens, the 9/11 Memorial Garden (next to Chancellor Green), and the courtyard of Murray-Dodge.
University Chapel
The magnificent University Chapel is open from 7am to 7pm each day and is a quiet and awe-inspiring place to reflect, think, meditate or pray.

9/11 Memorial Garden

Murray-Dodge Courtyard
The Murray-Dodge Courtyard, adjacent to several of the most traveled campus walkways, is a favorite place to pause, rest, and reflect.
