4 - Very Good	drbigboyjoe9505 March 25 2008	After all the negative talk about New Haven, I thought that the area was good. Being a New Yorker, I didn't think it was much different than New York. A lot of shops very near to campus and hospi [View Full Report]

2 - Fair	Sectumsempra January 03 2008	to be honest, there isn't that much to do in the neighborhood... but Yale's campus activities makes up for the less-than-fascinating surroundings [View Full Report]
4 - Very Good	smr15 November 16 2007	The campus feels really suburban and I was kind of turned off at first, imagining a dead social life. If you go a block off campus, though, you're suddenly in the city, which is great. [View Full Report]

4 - Very Good	mochi August 22 2007	Lots of stores around campus and lots and LOTS of restaurants, especially Thai. It's pretty easy to find an inexpensive meal or just something to do with friends. Seems safe enough in daylight. [View Full Report]

2 - Fair	stupak September 23 2006	The area around campus is not the safest area in the world, but there are a lot of shops/venues around that are awesome to visit. [View Full Report]
4 - Very Good	MSMDAD September 03 2006	The area immediately adjacent to campus seemed clean and safe. We did not see the bad neighborhoods that have been reported on other posts. We got to campus early and went to eat a pizza at a pizzeria - good New York style pizza. [View Full Report]

5 - Excellent	Mr. Pink August 15 2006	Yale makes sure to keep the area around campus very well-lit, clean, and filled with things to do. Businesses are attracted to the pockets of Yalies, which are deeper than the pockets of New-Havenites. [View Full Report]
5 - Excellent	senioritis42 August 13 2006	It's student friendly. Yale's wrapped itself in a protective coat of relatively nice, cheap restaurants, student friendly bookstores and clothing shops, and nightlife. [View Full Report]
5 - Excellent	posterX August 12 2006	Filled with shops, restaurants, cafes, cinemas, theaters, many open 24/7. Easily one of the best college towns in the country. [View Full Report]
