Yale University Visit Report by chrissyblu

Visit Activities:

Admissions Interview: No - My D is a rising junior, so no interview, but they had openings and were conducting them while we were there.

Information Session: Yes - Conducted by one of the Admissions Officers in a large hall. He was very funny and actually went to Yale, so talked of his personal experience. He ran out of time, though.

Campus Tour: Yes - Conducted by a recent graduate who was fascinating and also from California. Took us to see the Gutenberg Bible. Told us alot about the architecture. Very nice tour.

Classroom Visit: No - But we did go inside a classroom. Very nice.

Campus:

---

Everyone seemed very happy to be there.

---

Folks in the admissions office were very helpful, even giving us a list of restaurants to visit since we were staying the night in New Haven.

---

They were doing summer rennovations, but the grounds were outstanding.

---

---

Didn't go in one, but from the outside, think Hogwarts.

---

Didn't feel at all insecure, even in New Haven. I think progress has been made.

---

---

Off-Campus:

---

Best thing was the Carillon concert that night. Amazing.

---

Seemed very safe, compared to where I went to school (Berkeley and S.F.)

Campus Visit Notes for Yale University

Visit Description:

Yale is now my D's first choice. It is a beautiful campus with wonderful things like "shopping for a class" for the first two weeks of the term. The campus is very much like something out of Hogwarts!
