Welcome to The Daily Princetonian’s fourth annual survey of the senior class. The data within this writeup — compiled and verified through months of planning, outreach, and analysis — tell a bit of the story of the Great Class of 2025, the last graduating cohort to experience an academic year at Princeton during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our project seeks to better understand the nuances of the University’s soon-to-be newest alumni. Though the University publicly reports some information regarding demographics and academics, other data — such as the goings-on on Prospect Avenue, favorite dining halls, or the expected income after graduation of our seniors — are impossible to find publicly.
A complete summary of responses to the survey can be found here.
We invite you to browse our findings with a curious mindset. Click on every graph, select every drop down, and really get to know the ’25s. By reading our narratives on Demographics, College Life, Academics, After Princeton, and Views, you’ll experience a snapshot of the survey’s most interesting findings. Additional interactive charts reveal greater detail and cross examinations of different University populations.
Thank you to each member of the Class of 2025 who filled out our survey, telling their unique story of their time here at Princeton. This information, which was synthesized from over 80,000 individual data points, reveals a portrait of our campus community. We hope you enjoy clicking through the various visualizations as much as we did. To the Class of 2025, best of luck with your future endeavors. You will be sorely missed.
Best,
Vincent Etherton ’26 and Alexa Wingate ’27
