<p>I don’t like its weather (nor that of any other Ivy League school). And before anyone comments on how “unsafe” New Haven is, read this: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/yale-university/529519-safe-new-haven.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/yale-university/529519-safe-new-haven.html</a></p>
<p>Safety in New Haven</p>
<p>Students crisscross campus heading to course discussion sections, study groups, libraries open until midnight and various places. Yale students and New Haven residents are often found exploring downtown well into the evening hours. Many stores are open until 9:00 PM and many restaurants are open until at least midnight.</p>
<p>Yale University has one of the better safety records in the Ivy League. According to reports filed with the U.S. Department of Education in 2000, the total number of crimes occurring on and around Yale’s campus was below the Ivy League average. In fact, Yale University reported the second lowest number of on-campus crimes of any Ivy League school. Overall, crime in the City of New Haven is down by more than 50 percent since 1990.</p>
