Each residential college has its own distinct layout and architecture.<ref name="Princeton-ResColleges" /> Additionally, each college has its own faculty head, dean, director of studies, and director of student life. The colleges feature various amenities, such as dining halls, common rooms, laundry rooms, academic spaces, and arts and entertainment resources. Out of the seven undergraduate colleges (excluding the Graduate College) three of the colleges house students from all classes while the other four house only underclassmen.<ref>{{cite web|title=Housing & Dining|url=https://www.princeton.edu/one-community/housing-dining|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210717084128/https://www.princeton.edu/one-community/housing-dining|archive-date=July 17, 2021|access-date=July 17, 2021|publisher=Princeton University|language=en}}</ref> Present-day residential colleges are:
