After hearing so many negatives about New Haven, I was surprised to find a nice mix of city parks, restraunts, and venues surrounding campus. It could have been MUCH worse. |

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 |

A few good restaurants and shops in the immediate area, but I didn't see that much of the surrounding area, I mostly stayed on campus. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

The Green is loaded with homeless people, and there are panhandlers all along the street. |

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. |

As I said, New Haven isn't that great but it is still better then some of the other college's locations. |

The campus is imbedded right inside New Haven, for better or worse. See below. |

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. |

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. |

New Haven is very unimpressive and not very desirable |

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. |

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. |

Filled with shops, restaurants, cafes, cinemas, theaters, many open 24/7. Easily one of the best college towns in the country. |

New Haven is the perfect size. You get the buzz (and prices) of a big city without the negatives usually entailed. |

Immediately around campus, New Haven is pretty nice, which runs contrary to popular belief. Nice shops. The New Haven green holds frequent concerts. (It is directly across the street from Old Campus.) |
