4 - Very Good	southeasttitan April 06 2008	New Haven is great for some and not an ideal environment for others. Personally I am a city girl and loved it, but it's definitely not a charming little college town like, say, Middletown (Wesley [View Full Report]
3 - Good	drbigboyjoe9505 March 25 2008	I didn't see all of New Haven, but once again, it didn't look any different than New York to me. I would definitely love to venture out of the Yale bubble and meet some locals. [View Full Report]
3 - Good	phurley93 January 20 2008	New Haven is getting better, but it's not all the way there yet. But, hey, I've seen worse. Ever seen Cleveland? New Haven is no worse than any other old, northeastern formerly-industriali [View Full Report]

2 - Fair	bmwdan13 August 25 2007	New Haven is not the best place in the world for culture or meeting people off campus. Frequent sirens at night, and a triple homicide in the area while I was there. [View Full Report]

2 - Fair	sportsharks January 28 2007	New Haven is not really a nice area. On my way over to the sports facilities, I had to drive through it, and it looked kinda dodgy. [View Full Report]
	MSMDAD September 03 2006	We expected New Haven to be a grungy and not appealing city. It was actually clean and very nice. [View Full Report]

4 - Very Good	Mr. Pink August 15 2006	The Good: New Haven caters to students, because it needs to. Students provide a great deal of business for any budding entrepreneurs; a variety of affordable (key word) shops and restaurants are available for students to chose from. Contrast with Prince [View Full Report]
2 - Fair	senioritis42 August 13 2006	Once you get beyond a certain radius, there's a sharp plunge in the feeling of safety, and somewhat in cleanliness. I saw other fine parts of New Haven, but they're not adjacent Yale's protective bubble. [View Full Report]
5 - Excellent	posterX August 12 2006	See "area immediately around campus" - Unlike the other Ivy League schools, Yale is in the center of its host city and therefore everything is accessible. [View Full Report]
5 - Excellent	drummerdude_07 August 12 2006	1.5 hours from Boston or New York. But New Haven is big enough that you don't really need to go. [View Full Report]
4 - Very Good	bwilton August 10 2006	Nice, but not without flaws. Better than Cambridge. Not as sterile as Princeton. You could do far worse. Very unique. [View Full Report]
