Whats so special about Yale?

<p>This thread is not intended to offend any Yale student/alum.
As a prospective applicant, I would just like to know from those who actually commited to Yale, what are some key things that really set Yale above other schools of choice?</p>

For some reason, Yale just tugged on my heartstrings in a way that none of my other choices could match. It might have been the people I met, the courses I could take, the Gothic architecture, the Beinecke Library or the Peabody museum, the incredible arts scene or just a perceived commitment to undergraduate education - I can’t really place a finger on any single factor.
