[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]if you can get inside the courtyards of the yale residential colleges - and I think you might only walk through one of them on a tour - they're pretty dreamy. Oxford rip off, sure, but a v good one.[/quote]
Maybe i toured the wrong residential college, but I didn’t find Saybrook or Pauli Murray nice. Just a difference in personal tastes I’m sure, not like the kids are suffering.[/quote]

They are all very different, intentionally built in a variety of architectural styles. I like some more than others, but the only ones I find ugly are Morse and Stiles. I haven’t personally seen the two new colleges up close  in person, but they look nice from what I can tell. [/quote]

Yale is more polarizing in terms of opinions than I might have suspected.  Half the people are awed by its architecture and the other half either think it's too busy/ostentatious or can't get over its location in New Haven. [/quote]

I think this is mostly people who have been in New Haven but didn't get out of their cars. That was me for a long time. I had a client in New Haven (and I dont hate New Haven!) and thought yale was kinda drab. Then I toured it with my kid, and met with a friend's kid and got an inside look at the colleges and wow, I was wrong. It's like a movie set[/quote]
This doesn’t make any sense. Most people who’ve seen Yale toured it.[/quote]

Even when I toured Yale we only saw one college. Hardly scratches the surface

Sure, and while it’s not getting a whole view of the school, you can judge from the exterior and common places on campus whether it’s your vibe. It’s not like it’s radically different architecture from the gothic vibe.

I do think Harvard has way better interiors than people give credit. The outside is plain, but when you’re cozy in a Harvard building, you’re coooozy.[/quote]
