OP - you will find any group you want at Yale - geeks, nerds, goths, radicals, Republicans, drunks, teetotalers, sexaholics, virgins - I could go on. My D knows some people, STEM ones especially, who spend most of their time holed up in dark libraries studying. Others seem to never pick up a book (though we know that’s not true or they wouldn’t still be there). There are the heavy drinkers, the gamers, the artsy type, etc. As an alum and the parent of a freshman, I know you will love it there. If at all possible, go to Bull Dog days where you will see all that Yale has to offer. But a word of caution, if you are the more reclusive type, Bull Dog days can be overwhelming. Don’t think that your day to day life at Yale will be anything like that.

Good luck and I know you will make the right choice (wink, wink)
