Healthcare in the United States includes a network of private providers, urgent care clinics, and hospitals. Unlike many other countries, routine care is not centralized, and costs can vary depending on your insurance plan. Before seeking care, review your insurance coverage and bring your insurance card to every appointment.
The insurance plan you chose will give you a list of providers that you can use for medical care. If you need medical care, look through that list and call the provider of your choice to confirm that they take your plan. They may bill you up front for the cost and then you will submit the bill to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Many insurance companies will not pay any of your medical costs until you have reached your deductible. Your deductible is the amount you pay before your insurance starts to pay. For example, if you have a $2,000 deductible, you’ll pay the first $2,000 of covered services yourself. Once your deductible has been paid you usually only have to pay a minor copayment. If you wish to visit a medical facility that is not covered by your insurance, you always have the option to pay for the services directly. This can be expensive but often if you pay for the full cost of the service up front, they will give you a discount.
There are a variety of medical options available to you based upon the level of care you need and how quickly you need it. If you are experiencing mild symptoms such as a fever under 100 degrees F (37.8C), minor aches and pains, you may want to rest, drink plenty of fluids and take over the counter medication such as Tylenol first. The closest places to purchase over the counter medication would be the Princeton University Store at 36 University Pl and the CVS at 172 Nassau St. Over the counter medications are available for purchase without a prescription and include those for general aches and pains, headaches, stomach issues, allergies, rashes, colds, eye care, and more.
All J-1 Visiting Scholars must maintain health insurance that meets minimum coverage requirements established by the U.S. Department of State. Your insurance must remain active for the entire duration of your stay at Princeton Seminary.
Tip: Bring printed copies of your insurance documents and save digital versions on your phone in case you need them during travel or medical visits.
Self-Care & Over-the-Counter RemediesMany minor illnesses—such as colds, allergies, or sore throats—can be managed with over-the-counter medications available at local pharmacies (CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid). These items can be purchased without a prescription.

Princeton is a community located in Mercer County, New Jersey with a population of 30,000. Princeton has been the home of Princeton University since 1756. Although Princeton is a “college town”, there are other important institutions in the area. The community is roughly equidistant from New York and Philadelphia. Princeton has been connected to New York and Philadelphia (via Princeton Junction) since the nineteenth century. The community is close to many major highways that can take residents to both cities. While the Amtrak ride time is similar to each city, the commuter train ride to New York—via New Jersey Transit’s Northeast Corridor Line—is generally much shorter than the equivalent train ride to Philadelphia, which involves a transfer to SEPTA trains in Trenton.
Families residing in Seminary housing may enroll their children in the Princeton Public School district. Enrollment is determined by your residence address, and school staff can guide you through required documentation such as proof of address and immunization records.
If you are traveling with children and wish to enroll them in public school, you can begin the registration process online. Public school options vary based on the location of your housing while studying at Princeton Theological Seminary. If you are staying at Charlotte Rachel Wilson Apartments (CRW), your child will attend the West Windsor Plainsboro School District: west-windsor-plainsboro.k12.nj.us. If you are staying in Payne Hall, your child will attend Princeton School District: princetonk12.org. When you contact the school to register your child, you will be required to show proof of residence. The letter you received from the seminary regarding your campus housing will serve as proof of residency. Should you need further documentation or have any questions please contact your coordinator.
