Are students at Yale happy?

OK, I’m not a student at Yale, but a parent of a Yalie. A very happy Yalie. Loves it there. Absolutely loves it. And why not? It’s a unique haven for someone who loves to learn.

That said, I also have something the OP does not: many years of experience in the “real world.” And I have known far too many people like her. People who must have drama in everything they do. People whose mission in life is to complain and be miserable. I fully believe she would not be happy anywhere. Where’s the fun in that?

These miserable people love company. She must be thrilled with the response her blog post is getting. But, based on the students I have come to know at Yale over the past three years, I would have to say she is definitely in the minority.
