Location and Parking
The conference will be held on the Princeton University campus, which is located in the historic town of Princeton, New Jersey. If you are staying in town (at the Nassau Inn) walking to the conference through campus is the easiest option. It’s a leisurely 15 minutes from downtown to the conference location. Conference signs will be posted along the route. If you are staying at a hotel near Route 1, it’s not very walkable and we recommend taking a Lyft/Uber. The Tiger Transit shuttle system is free, open to the public, and provides safe and convenient transportation throughout Princeton campus.
Please see the Princeton University campus map with MODFLOW Points of Interest. All venue buildings can be found within the red circle. The Nassau Inn, Princeton train station (“Dinky”), and the visitor parking lot (lot 23) are all marked on this map. An interactive map which has search capabilities and can generate directions can be found here.
