<p>Science labs = .5 credits. But that’s true everywhere. </p>
<p>I feel like starting a new foreign language isn’t that easy to do (intro classes meet every day and are 1.5 credits) and isn’t very compatible with majors/extracurricular commitments that require you to take classes in the early morning. At the same time, many people do start new languages.</p>
<p>I’ve had the occasional bad professor, but they’re def. the exception and not the rule. Shopping period helps avoid them. </p>
<p>New England winters can be rough, in general. But the periodic big snowfalls/snow creations all over campus are fun. </p>
<p>I don’t have a problem with expanding yale, but i suspect the location of the new colleges will be problematic for some people. Basically i just don’t want to see another Morse/Stiles situation, with two more colleges that pre-frosh will not want to be sorted into. I think Morse/Stiles are perfectly good colleges and i wouldn’t mind being in either of them, but i think the attitude that people in the colleges have toward them is problematic. There’s supposed to be enthusiasm for your college. </p>
<p>I think anyone on this thread will tell you the advantages overshadow the disadvantages though. If you’re asking what we don’t like to help discern between colleges, i’d advise spending some time on each campus and meeting students/professors and figuring out what you DO like instead.</p>
