Davenport is seriously the best college at Yale. Our basement is amazing (the Yale Herald just said we have the best gym facilities) with a printing press, papermaking and book binding rooms, auditorium, music practice rooms, dance room with floating floor, digital media center, pottery room (complete with wheels and kilns) etc. etc. The college itself is gorgeous. We’re gothic on the outside but gregorian on the inside. Our dining hall has a waterford crystal chandellier worth over 1 million dollars. The people are great, we have good “davensports” (intermurals), the Dive (our buttery) is a wonderful place to socialize (the wine-game especially fun), we haven’t gotten our pool table which is still being restored, but the “chill” spaces for games/tv, etc. are great. The master and dean are easily accessable. I learned how to cajun dance the other night in our dining room. The food too, is amazing. Freshman housing in Welch is nice. Princess suites are money. Residential colleges are the best thing ever. I don’t know how I could handle college without davenport. really.
