Nerdiness at Yale

I’m only starting at Yale as a grad student this fall so I can’t comment on the nerdiness at Yale yet. But since @Mathinduction is asking about potential (nerdy) schools to apply to, I thought I’d chime in and recommend Carnegie Mellon. I’m at the end of my four years at CMU and I feel confident saying that it’d be hard to find many schools nerdier than us, especially if you’re into math and CS. Not too sure about physcis, but from I know the science curriculums here are pretty intense too. And overall CMU just has a very strong nerdy vibe and loads of – ok, maybe somewhat socially awkward – nerds).
