[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]

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

This was our son but there is another poster also.  I don't know where that child resided.  Maybe the poster will come back.

You're right that part of the attraction to Yale was the prestige but when he was making his choice he did say that one reason was that he liked the campus and surrounding area a lot better than the other two.  As long as he is happy we are happy.  Any of the choices would have been good.  He is thriving and that is all we can ask for or dream for him.  I hope the same for your child, PP.  Best wishes in this holiday season.[/quote]
