I’m sorry, When I say hard, hard moments, I don’t mean anything life threatening or dangerous, I merely meant that some students go through periods where, as undergrads, they may not feel as equally treated as the graduate students, they may feel that they are not getting, in fact what Yale has promised them, and have felt like really losing it a few times. It has happened to numerous friends of mine, all turned out o.k, but they did question why they went to yale halfway through their sophomore year. I told them to stick it out, and they are all glad they did. For me, Yale was pretty awesome, and I would not trade it for the world, especially my Junior and Senior years !

I went to Teachers College Columbia University after I graduated Yale and finished up an Ed. M, and Ed. D. in Education. Both Universities fully delivered what they promised, and although I do prefer the roomy, green atmosphere of Yale’s campus, I must say that Columbia had, in itself an awe about it that made anyone on campus know they were in an Ivy League school. Sadly, the walls of Columbia are not draped with Ivy as in Princeton, Yale or Harvard, but it does the job just the same. (( and yes, the tales are true, the graduate students usually, if not always, get the attention of the professors before any undergrad !!))
