Dynamic University

I am applying there early in the fall. It is such a dynamic place. All the ivies have great academia (although Yale is still one of the better ones) but Yale struck me as something different. There is a real infusion of culture & real life into the classes. Great campus too!

Yale's Location

I didn't apply to Yale, but when I visited I wasn't impressed with the location. The campus is like a beautiful walled village within a rather run-down city. The town and gown divide was much more pronounced than at other universities I visited.
