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	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]
