“New Haven is a crappy town and its also somewhat dangerous.”

As a native of New York City, and an undergraduate at a college located in a rural-suburban town populated by locals, university students, and students of my own college, I argue that the quoted is a “crappy” and “dangerous” statement to make.

The college area of New Haven is as safe and aesthetically pleasing as the best LAC town. Provided that one does not drive downtown in an 80,000 dollar sports car dressed in sunglasses, a polo shirt, khakis, and loafers, blasting classical music, one should be fine.

“Yale gets the upper hand because it is a little bit more prestigious.”

Yale College is significantly more prestigious.

“I’m not homophobic or anything, but there is also a high homosexual population at Yale from what I was told by Yale undergrad and medical students.”

You are homophobic if you believe this is a problem. A closeted homophobe. =)



TheSaiyans666:

I challenge you to go up to a Columbia, UPenn, UMich, Duke, Dartmouth, etc grad and tell them to their face that “Harvard, Yale, and Princeton are miles away in education/everything imaginable compared to your alma mater.”
Not on CC. To their face in real life. Try that.



I would do it to you, just to see your face contort with rage and bitterness.

“You’re not getting into either Yale or Penn with that attitude.”

Well, there are plenty of pre-professional prestige whores at Penn…
