The are multiple Christian groups on the Princeton campus. You did not specify your denomination so I cannot provide a link to the specific ministry for you.

Review the campus ministries and you will find a possible home. The southern Baptists from my area have found like minded students. [Princeton University - Religious Life](Religious Life | Princeton University)

The Princeton Faith and Action group is popular today and has many active student members. [PF&A |](http://pfanda.com/)

The Christian Union has a chapter in Princeton. [Princeton Home - Christian Union](http://involve.christian-union.org/site/PageServer?pagename=HomePrinceton)

When I attended the Princeton Evangelical Fellowship members held on campus fellowship worship. [Princeton Evangelical Fellowship](http://pef.mycpanel.princeton.edu/)

Religious music groups include the The Princeton University Chapel Choir, The Princeton Georgian Choir, The Princeton University Gospel Ensemble, The Lux Choir, Kindred Spirit, and The Klezmocrats.

Here is an article on religious life at Princeton. [Princeton Alumni Weekly: Keeping the faith](Keeping the faith | Page 2 | Princeton Alumni Weekly)

Explore the course offerings in the Religion Department. Some of the faculty are considered eminent scholars in biblical study. [Home - Princeton University - Department of Religion](http://religion.princeton.edu/main/) Also in town is the Princeton Theological Seminary [Princeton Theological Seminary](http://www.ptsem.edu/) and the Westminster Choir College [Welcome to Westminster Choir College | Westminster Choir College](Westminster Choir College | Rider University) . The Princeton Theological Seminary is a five minute walk from Forbes College. While different academic schedules can make it difficult Princeton students can take courses at The Princeton Theological Seminary. Seminary students have conducted fellowship groups in the residential colleges.

Princeton has substance free dorms for students that do not want to be near students that drink. Most of the clubs have a “party room” for beer and dancing and a quiet room for cards and discussion. Many students that do not drink have found a happy home at a club. About one-third of students choose not to join a club and remain in a residential college for their meals and social life. Non members can attend many events at the clubs.

Both Princeton and Stanford have excellent chemistry departments. Princeton has recently built a new state of the art chemistry building and is using the new facilities to attract additional faculty. Here are links to articles on the new chemistry building:

Princeton has been known as the Southern Ivy because of the large number of southern students that have chosen to study at Princeton. By the 1790’s forty percent of the undergraduates came from the South. Prior to 1860, 15 southern governors were Princeton alumni. Prior to the Civil War 22 Southern senators were Princeton alumni. At least 200 alumni fought for the South and 155 alumni fought for the North. At least seven Confederate brigadier generals were alumni. There are Princeton alumni throughout the south.

I believe that you would find a comfortable home at Princeton. Good Luck!
