New Residential Colleges

<p>Yale is likely to add two new residential colleges. Any idea when the new colleges, if added, will actually begin to house students?</p>

<p>A decade, perhaps?</p>

<p>The Corporation votes on it this month. Everyone assumes it’s a done deal, so once they vote yes, we’ll start seeing concrete details.</p>

<p>The expansion itself doesn’t really bother me…Yale will still probably be smaller than Harvard in terms of undergraduate population.</p>

<p>However, the location STINKS. Behind a cemetery, on science hill, isolated from all of the other colleges? Not sweet.</p>

<p>I’m just glad I’ll have finished at Yale before they’re done :slight_smile: And who knows, with a $22B endowment, Yale might be able to make the area around the colleges much more appealing. Nonetheless, there are still some BIG concerns surrounding this whole thing</p>

<p>I don’t like this expansion one bit.</p>
