Visit Activities:


Admissions Interview: No - Didn't have an interview. Still accepted to and attend Yale University.

Information Session: Yes - Once accepted and Yale was wooing the few number of students in the area to matriculate.

Campus Tour: Yes - Took when in the summer of '04 when I was a sophomore transitioning to a junior in high school. I graduated in '07 due to extenuating circumstances.

Classroom Visit: Yes - During my stay for Bulldog Days. I would have gone regardless. The overnight stay was enough to convince me, because the people were all amazing!

Campus:

I was absolutely shocked that Yale included some of the most brilliant students as well as good looking and extremely sociable and friendly.

Top notch. Bulldog Days showed me that and current enrollment at Yale has not proved that to be untrue.


Appearance of Campus:

Gothic architecture encircles you. You truly feel as if you were Harry Potter as well as gaining a REAL education. It's absolutely AMAZING.


Building/Facilities Maintenance/Cleanliness:
5 - Excellent

New Haven might not be so clean and brilliant, but the campus sure was. That's what happens when you have such a large endowment (pun lol).


Dormitories:

Suites everywhere. Harry Potter should be jealous. Unless you live in Morse or Stiles.


Security/Safety:

New Haven is New Haven. Be smart and you'll be safe.


Overall Campus Impression:

Yale's campus is unbeatable. No qualms. Nothing. End of story.

I won't be biased or lie, New Haven isn't pretty, but stay on campus and once again, you feel like Harry Potter every step of the way.


City/Town/Community:

If you're interested in Yale and seriously considering, at this point you should get the drift.

Campus Visit Notes for Yale University


Visit Description:

Read my statements above. You get the idea.

Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:

OMNI hotel, but usually booked and pricey. Stay at Yale if you can.

Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:

ANYWHERE. New Haven't cuisine is so diverse and amazingly delicious.

Other Comments (Transportation, local attractions, parking, etc.):

YORKSIDE. Sure it's food, but it's a hell of a blast. Oh, and Mory's. If you can get in and have membership. If you're really lucky maybe George H.W. is stopping by.
