[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BTW, DD at Yale (junior) has not had any security concerns.  [b]We really love New Haven.[/b]  Of course, further away from campus there are some sketchy areas, but the campus and surrounding streets feel quite safe.[/quote]

[b]Glad you like Yale, but saying "we really love New Haven" is pushing it, don't you think, even by the gushy boosterism standards of DCUM.[/quote][/b]

Thank you.  I'm laughing over that.  DC spent two weeks at Yale for a program and turned down New Haven because of the town area.[/quote][b]If the "town area" makes you laugh then you'd bust a gut at UChicago, Columbia, and UPenn.[/b][/quote]

x1000  Clearly the ^^PP has never been to any of those schools.  Sheesh.  Frankly, our kid [b]was very much considering Columbia and UPenn but chose Yale because of the campus[/b] so I guess we're another family that really likes Yale and New Haven.  Agree that after the 5-6 block perimeter of campus there can be some sketchy areas but, really, that is pretty typical and who is going that far from campus anyway?  [b]Our kid was JE[/b] so right next to the Green but we especially like the new dorm complex that was built and how integrated it is into the campus and its architecture.  I guess different strokes for different folks.[/quote]

Y[b]es I am sure she chose Yale over Penn and Columbia purely because of the campus, nothing to do with the added prestige lol[/quote][/b]

well done!  she just wanted to brag.  New Haven is not safe.[/quote]
