To be honest, crime concerns and lack of STEM strength have turned people and away and pushed Yale to the bottom of HYPSM, and I’ve seen more than a few posters just using HPSM to refer to the best schools (HPSM are equally strong in humanities and STEM and have “the best of both worlds”).


The people doing that seem like complete idiots.

What kind of police force distributes flyers with the Grim Reaper on it!?
o



It isn’t the police force that distributed them -it is the Union. That is clear from the article. Big difference


The union is made of the police force.

well this year they had record high applicant numbers and record high yield rates, so… I think Yale’s doing OK for itself, despite the sincere concern of “more than a few posters”



Every top 200 school had “record high applicant numbers and record high yield rates” last year including my lousy slac. Where have you been?


Not even remotely true. There are maybe 75-100 schools seeing record high application numbers. Vast majority of all colleges accept 90%+ and many are seeing declining enrollment.

Yeah…MIT is really known for its humanities.


It is well known for Poli Sci and Economics.

This was because Yale took and continues to take safety so seriously - campus police was always nearby, we had the Yale bus and you could always get a campus security escort to walk you from point A to point B. Of course, common sense applied.

How I miss the place!



Ok but the flyers were distributed by the police Union as a negotiation tactic not the police department. Big difference

Mental health is a big reason even rural campuses aren’t safe.

I loved Yale. Was more aware while off campus but spent plenty of post midnight days walking home alone or with others and never had any scares.

Yeah…MIT is really known for its humanities.



MIT's English and creative writing departments are really good. And, unlike Yale, Sloan's Business school is genuinely good.

Yale has been coasting for years. Extremely overrated school for undergrads.


Ok…what about the 100+ other humanities areas? Let’s be honest…MIT is not comparable to Yale (or really any top 10 schools) for depth and breadth of humanities.

I assume you know business is not a humanities area.



Eh. MIT gets the smarter kids, And so too does Caltech, Princeton, Rice, Stanford, and several other schools.

I'm sure Yale has outstanding graduate students in the humanities.

But times change.

Schools like MIT are rolling with it. Yale is an anachronism. It has no business being considered as a a top school for undergrads
