Yale among the Ivies

Wait what? Yale ranks low on student happiness surveys?? BalletGirl, where on Earth did you get that information? The same goes for Princeton being “cold”…

According to the 2008 Princeton Review, Yale is ranked among the top 10 for happiest students…in terms of Ivies, behind only Princeton and Brown.

Lol these descriptions are a little flawed…
–New Haven really isn’t bad, despite all the crap high school students on CC give it lol
–ditto Princeton…it may not be a big city but it’s hardly elite-feeling…I’m actually not certain how Princeton would feel more “elite” than Hanover, which is even more of an isolated Ivy League town!

For the last time, it’s impossible for any one student to “objectively” analyze the Ivies. Most Ivy League students only ever attend one for undergrad; a few transfers might attend two. No more.

a LOT of the info thrown around here on CC with regards to the Ivies is BS…a large chunk of posters are high school students who have visited some of the ivies for perhaps a day. Even a compiled list of other people’s comments does not make them reliable. There are some posters, like Northstarmom, who know a great deal about a particular school (in her case, Harvard) and can absolutely give helpful, reliable advice. Many don’t know any more than you do. I’ve seen so many objectively, patently false things written on this website about my own school it’s kind of ridiculous…so, again, don’t believe everything you read on the internet :-)
