Welcome to The Daily Princetonian’s fifth 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 2026.
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.
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 ’26s. 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 2026 who filled out our survey, telling their unique story of their time here at Princeton. To the Class of 2026, best of luck with your future endeavors. You will be sorely missed.
Best,
Madeline Wadsworth ’28
