Write a Review! Y ALE
is a private, Ivy League, liberal arts university. Founded in
1701, it adopted coeducation in 1969. Its 295-acre main campus
is located near the center of New Haven. Campus buildings
are primarily in the collegiate Gothic style. Yale is both
a small college and a large research university. The
College is surrounded by eleven distinguished graduate and professional schools,
and its students partake in the intellectual stimulation and excitement
of a major international center of learning. The faculty is
known for its special devotion to undergraduate teaching. Many
of Yale's most distinguished senior professors teach introductory courses as
well as advanced seminars to undergraduates. Faculty members are accessible
to students and take a great deal of interest in
working closely with undergraduates. Yale's curriculum allows students to achieve
both breadth and specialization across several disciplines. Students are expected
to explore three important areas of knowledge - the arts
and humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences - even as
they probe the depth of a major field. While exploring
several subject areas, students are also expected to sharpen their
writing, quantitative, and foreign language skills. Yale's unique residential college
system organizes the student body into twelve small and intimate
communities. Students are affiliated with the same residential college
throughout their four years at Yale and beyond. As
members of a residential college, students experience the living situation
of a small school while still enjoying the cultural and
scholarly resources of a large university. In assigning students to
residential colleges, Yale seeks to create a microcosm of the
larger community within each college, capturing the true diversity of
the larger student population. Each residential college is a community
where students live, eat, socialize, and pursue academic and extracurricular
activities. Yale students are actively involved in the New Haven
community, benefiting from and enhancing the city's many cultural, recreational,
and political opportunities. New Haven boasts diverse and abundant
resources in the arts. There is a vibrant cultural
and artistic life in the city, a myriad of opportunities
both academic and social, and a plethora of places to
eat and have fun. New Haven is part of a
Yale education: the experience of contemporary urban life broadens students'
perspectives and helps prepare them for life after college. Yale
students have a long tradition of intense involvement with extracurricular
activity. Life in Yale College provides endless opportunities for
students beyond the classroom. Opportunities in theater, music, volunteer service,
politics and government, publications, and athletics enrich the undergraduate curriculum
and endow Yale College with a special energy and spirit
of commitment. Perhaps the first thing that students notice about
their college is the caliber of their fellow students.
There are talented artists, student government leaders, star athletes, passionate
activists, award-winning poets, prize-winning scientists, and people who are just
simply “well-rounded.” Because Yale students come from such a
wide range of ethnic, religious, cultural, geographic and socioeconomic backgrounds,
there is a remarkable exchange of ideas. Yale is
a major research university that focuses primarily on undergraduate education
and encourages students to become energetic citizens of their communities,
the nation, and the world. Location/Contact
