There are many offices and individuals across campus who are here to help you overcome challenges and find a sense of direction and purpose during your time at Princeton. Whenever you run into obstacles, meeting with your Residential College staff should often be your first stop. They can refer you to the right resource for any given situation. In addition, there are plenty of more specific resources that you can find below.
Residential Colleges:
Directors of Student Life (DSL)
The Directors of Student Life are responsible for supporting and enhancing the undergraduate residential and extracurricular experience within the residential colleges. Look to them for guidance and support in many aspects of life in your college--from finding ways to get involved in the community, to taking advantage of non-academic resources, to handling a medical crisis or family emergency.
