While in the area, I had to make a visit. It was founded in 1701 and is one of the top 3 Ivy Leagues. It is known for their law, political science, medicine, drama, and history programs. I love the Gothic architecture. They made walking around accessible. They even offer tours. Overall, I think it is a lovely school and highly notable.

Yale University - New Haven, CT…read more Yale isn't just an Ivy League--it's a living museum of academia, history, and innovation. Founded in 1701, it's the third-oldest university in the U.S., and its campus is a stunning blend of Gothic architecture, leafy courtyards, and cutting-edge research hubs. The School of Engineering & Applied Science is especially impressive. From robotics labs to sustainability initiatives, Yale Engineering fosters a tight-knit, forward-thinking community that's deeply committed to inclusion and innovation. The facilities are modern, collaborative, and designed to spark creativity. Yale also boasts a vibrant Asian American community, supported by the Asian American Cultural Center, student organizations, and affinity groups that celebrate heritage, identity, and belonging. It's a place where diversity isn't just welcomed--it's woven into the fabric of campus life. Parking? Surprisingly manageable. Yale offers a range of lots and garages with reasonable rates, and there are even free parking options for transit users and carpoolers. Just be sure to check the campus map or visitor parking guide before you go. The surrounding area has its charm, but like any urban campus, some neighborhoods can feel sketchy, especially after dark. Stick to well-lit paths and main streets, and you'll be fine. Whether you're touring the campus, attending a lecture, or just soaking in the academic energy, Yale is a must-visit. It's a place where tradition meets transformation--and it's got the brains, beauty, and boldness to prove it. Boomsauce Scale: B - basura (trash) BS - basic (come on! Try harder) BS + - better (Yo! That's better) BS ++ - best (alright! Alright! Alrightttt!) BS +++ - Amazing location! now that's boomsauce! Trust me--I am vegan.

Really great first visit with our youngest son who is interested in leaning more about SCSCU. We've…read morebeen on a lot of visits, the admissions team was personable, organized, and balanced, providing key information while also being respectful of families' time. Campus was beautiful, even on a not-so-perfect weather day. Large enough feel to make one realize they're in college, without urban sprawl to make one feel lost. Many building are beautiful. Some dated, but that's why we have capital campaigns, right? :) Our tour guide, Alina, was simply phenomenal. Clearly authentic, unscripted, but yet knew all the pertinent detail. She made the trip so much better than others we've been on for either of our two boys.

I went here years ago and I assumed that I would have been better off in the workplace, but with a…read moredegree from this place - i was never under consideration for a job in a related field while I tried to get a higher degree. not only did they have discrimination (which used to make the news) which caused me to change majors, only when you are about to graduate, do they tell you that the degree is worthless and what YOU go out and pursue is what makes it work! They never said this while you are paying and going! Then they had a little department that was supposed to hook you up with jobs, but none worked out. This school is not a respected school to get you anywhere in the job market, you really have to go to a private school - at least by the time you get a degree. Those are the only schools that are respected out here. I felt as if I waste my time, because I had a better job BEFORE I finished my degree, but I had to give the job up because I could not find a must-have class to fit outside of my work schedule. I ASSUMED that finishing the degree would make me better off, so I would not have to worry about getting an even better job down the road. Sadly, i cannot get any job! a degree from this school (unless you come from a rich family, are a mason or have a direct hookup), is worth about as much as a roll of toilet paper! if i had the chance to do it all over again - i would have kept my job. i would have been good by now.

Go to Housatonic Community College. I've been to three of the CT community (Housatonic, Naugatuck…read moreand Gateway) colleges and honestly Housatonic in Bridgeport has provided me with the best community college experience thus far. I have been blessed with teachers who want to help the student succeed beyond race , religion and economic status'. Housatonic is a diversified school! Anyone can call and will most likely call Housatonic a home away from home institution . Gateway is only know for their new architectural building structure of random teachers roaming down the hallways only concerned about their paychecks instead of the students career goals. As students remember you have a choice to choose and decide what college you want to go to. Do not feel locked or obliged to attend Gateway. Explore your options and means of transportation as you are charged in your tuition for bus , train fare and parking dues every semester whether you use it or not! Look into your tuition costs. Wake up , you have a choice do not remain complacent or stuck within the town you reside in. You will always have the freedoms and options you desire. Do your research and look beyond. Also where are the Google reviews and other platforms open for review on Gateway ? Biased would one not think?

Was a little disappointed they don't have a track on their campus(the athletic director said they use Yale's track) as my son would be looking to come as a Track & Field athlete.

I agree with Marisol, but I'll put in my two cents on top…read more I love the crowd, even if it is a little on the nerdy side. The lounge and the dining hall are relaxing spots to hang out in, and Friday happy hours come with free! alcohol and greasy, repetitive but free! food. In fact, the law school is a fantastic resource for the hungry and cheap. (Caveat: cover for 3 years will set you back something to the tune of oh...$132,000.) If you hang around at 1:00 PM or after 7:00 PM Monday through Thursday, it takes very little diligence to scrounge free Thai, Indian, pizza, and if you're lucky, something else (but you have to be quite lucky). The courtyard is perfect for hanging out in warmer months, but it may as well be closed for business during the winter. If you need to unwind indoors, the couches in the lounge and the four armchairs on the main floor of the library make for prime nappy time, and no one judges you for drooling. One complaint I have about Yale Law School is that the lunchtime crowd in the dining hall is terribly and visibly young. The library is also a total undergraduate hotspot. I think YLS would be much improved if it poached the bouncer from Anchor and made all the underaged children take their biology textbooks and study at Toad's.

If a person rattled the feminist it was his responsibility to get them back in their coffins. During Trump one it was a hot time in the old time tonight. I go to bed at 7pm so the college parties were not witnessed . Covid 19 put a damper on everyone's experience. Most students went back home. Then there was the middle-east thing which I'm glad I missed. "The Middle East is a complex and tragic situation". Seems to get you out of many tough discussions. Trump 2 is something new. It's like waiting for a tsunami to strike. Will the feminist get mad? Is the environment going to be a hot topic. I had a plastic bag and was shamed. Yalies are nice . They mind their business and do their homework. If you graduate from Southern CT (I did) students from Yale will throw change at you.
