[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]you mean they'd just let me in?

then Yale or Oxford. [/quote]

Even in your unlimited fantasy, you’d pick four years in Downtown New Haven. Unbelievable.

I’d like four free years in La Jolla please, sign me up for UCSD.[/quote]

Yeah. it's about who is around the table and I'd be happy in a residential college.

I also dont like San Diego.

I can - and did - move to a nice climate after college. Spend half my time in Ojai now. But for college, I want the academics. [/quote]

New Haven is actually quite nice now. And we all managed back in the day. Was quite a culture shock for me, but it was good for me too.

I have a theory that more interesting people go to Yale (vs say Princeton) because of New Haven.

My kid is actually at Yale. I wouldnt call it nice, but it's nicer than it was. Whereas Cambridge has lost what used to make it great. [/quote]

I mean, there's an Apple store, an Urban, J Crew, etc, all right near campus. Those stores don't go into ghettos. Plus all the local places that give it flavor and character - many of them there since my day ---Atticus, Claire's, Ashley's, Yorkside....

You don't think that's nice? [/quote]

I find that strip of stores fine but not a lot of flavor as you say. But New Haven in general is not great, and there's a shooting or death in or around New Haven Green several times a year. [/quote]

It sounds like maybe you haven't spent much time there. You need to explore the local places. There is a fantastic food and coffee shop scene. And the pizza, oh the pizza! Branch out! Also have you hiked East Rock? [/quote]
