A vibrant intellectual community.

Despite problems cited in school ratings, Yale remains the best. It would improve if the administration were to offer complete funding for each student and circumvent the problems created by an element associated with politicians over the last 20 years.

Absolutely what I believe to be the best University in the world. The professors are so knowledgeable, the classes difficult but rewarding, and the people I've met have been breathtaking.

I'm a senior and i absolutely regret my decision coming here. I would have rather of attended my local CC than come to this place. Bunch of geeks and stuck up smarty pants walking around campus like they own the place. Food is worse than Mcdonalds. Clubs are all lame. The professors were so rude. I hated this place. Wifi was ight though.

I came here instead of harvard to escape the but i found mark zuckerberg and bill gates in my room at 3:33 am and they put a ball gag in my mouth and tickled me until i died, came back to life and died again and they left more cum on me than jeff bezos did to thaat colombian chick. worst part is that i think i liked it.

Overpriced and overrated. If I wanted to go to a gothic designed school filled with castles, I would have gone to hogwarts. The education doesn't seem to match the price, as you would think the difference in cost to attend yale would mean the education would be more focused and open access. Transferred right away.

Horrible place. Doesn't care about student's mental health. Deans/Head of Colleges are not helpful.

Yes I am truly proud to be attending Yale University and I understand it is competitive. Nonetheless, there is an atmosphere here that lower universities don't have but should be grateful. It's hard to be smart and have an understandable as well as social group of friends I can always rely on.

gets no respect. 'blah' all around. slim pickin's. needs a makeover. spotty connection. I choke the food down. not much going on. would rather watch TV. Disappointed. A little dicey.... overall pretty good school tho.
