Hi everyone! I’m a recent CMU grad starting as a postgrad research associate at Yale School of Medicine in January. I’m looking for a studio or 1-bedroom apartment under $1800/month and am open to areas outside of downtown or immediate Yale vicinity, as long as the commute is under 30 minutes (I have a car).

• Location: Outside downtown/Yale area is fine (within 30-min drive)
• Budget: $1800 or less per month
• Requirements:
  • Pet-friendly: I have a cat
  • Laundry: Ideally in-unit washer and dryer
  • Parking: Dedicated parking space

If anyone has any suggestions or leads for affordable, quiet areas nearby, I’d really appreciate it. I am struggling to find anything under 2000 near Yale, so I decided to make this post to see what other options are. Thanks so much!

Hi all,

As a sophomore, I do not love Yale. I feel so trapped by the residential college system and small size of the campus. It sucks so much that I can get out of bed and be in class 5 minutes later. I would not be here any minute longer if I could secure a full-ride at my state school to transfer. I feel so ungrateful to not like Yale but it does not seem worth it (especially for CS). I earned a whole Associates in high school just to not study liberal arts again at my state school. Yet, here I am. Forced to take at least another 12 courses in such.

I was hoping anyone could provide insight. Coming to Yale really feels like the worst decision I have made.

Is it nice to cycle in NH? Are there any group rides/crit races within NH or Connecticut?

hey guys, I was wondering if any of you guys submitted art supplements when applying? If so, what does the checkbox for "representation work" mean?

Was hoping to learn more about the discursive aspect of Directed Studies in general. Let me know if you’d be willing to answer a question or two via dm.

Thanks in advance!

What's a good goal to have for your GPA at Yale (specifically for STEM majors)? I have already accepted that my GPA is not gonna be as high as I wanted it to be. I also plan on going to grad school for a PhD but don't really know how high of a GPA I need and if the Yale title even affects it.

Also side tangent, is it just me or are grades getting deflated? I was told that there was crazy grade inflation but the past few midterms say otherwise...

Hey Yale Reddit, I’m a CJ grad school student from NY doing a project for a class and need your help. Does anyone happen to have any photos of what the inside of the 10 Amistad St building looks like? It can be blueprints, fire exit photos, or just casual pics. Ik it’s a weird request but I’d really appreciate it. Thank you !!

Thoughts on the above?

The University stake holders should look at Sammy Feliciano and the history of incidents and reports brought against him. Bob use to protect him and now Stacey has taken over that roll of protecting him. Since the beginning you're not going to tell me that Adam Millman, Stacey, James Benson, Dan Flynn, or even Adam Hill hasn't known about the disgusting, illegal, and predatorial behavior going on. It's a departmental wide problem, but Sammy is one of the worst followed by the names listed above. We are not sitting back anymore and watching this happen with zero consequences. Before long it will become a threat to the students to be around such individuals that find entertainment and pleasure in going after those in weaker positions than them. Ironically it's everyone in the department. This has trickled down to a number of managers in the colleges. Thus creating an unsafe place for anybody to be around let alone trust. I've been a victim of this environment only to be told to be quiet from my manager. You all think we don't hear what you say about us, but we hear and see everything you do. Talk to everyone and clear out the department before anymore of the dark happenings that continue comes to light. So much time has passed with us being their prey. No more hunting, targeting, exploiting, or abusive reign from the tower. Cleanse it all because we are tired of being quiet. It's no secret amongst the employees just fear of retaliation from those above and a number of our managers. You all have known! That just makes you as guilty and an accomplice to it all.

Do any secret societies tap graduate students? I already have BA and applying for Yale for MA programs. Any chance I might get tapped?

I managed to make a few good friends during the first couple weeks of my freshman year, but now I realize they’re really not my people and I actually find them rather unbearable. The issue? It seems like many first-years have basically solidified their social circles and aren’t really interested in actively meeting people the way they were during the first phase of the year. Now I feel trapped in friendships that I really don’t find enjoyable/fulfilling, but I’m not really confident about meeting new people the way I was when it seemed like everyone else was. Any advice?

Hi! With the cold weather, I am looking to park my bike indoors near the Old Campus/Sterling Library/Broadway Av or that area. Does someone know if there are any indoor racks on the campus?

Not a student, but was wondering if anyone could help me get the syllabus for the following course: https://coursetable.com/catalog?course-modal=202103-10432 Faust is a book I have read several times, but never have taken a course on it since it was only offered in German at my university. Compared to other classics there are a lot less resources geared towards a general reader for Faust, so I would love to see what an introductory undergraduate course looks like. Yale, with its reputation as having one of the premiere comparative literature programs in the country, seems like an obvious choice to find a high quality course.

Hi, I’m in my second year studying computer engineering, and I’m looking for inspiration to start a student organization related to my field, something like aerospace or subsea but more directly tied to my studies. Have you done anything similar before, or do you have any tips?

What are some hidden library gems at Yale? I’m in my last year and really want to fully explore every library while here

Work has made me come into the office three days a week and I'd like to be able to keep practicing piano during the week. Does anyone know where/how I can access a piano to practice on while in New Haven?

I doubt I can somehow flex my former yale grad credentials to get into a place on campus, but if you all know of something like that, that would be pretty neat

Hello! I’m thinking about cooking some food for my suite and was wanting to use the Murray student kitchen. Does anyone have any pictures of what it looks like in there or could maybe tell me what’s available to use in there? I’d like to know what I’d need to buy before reserving. Thank you!

What are the most gut classes that I can use to fulfill my science distribution? Asking for a friend

I'll be visiting Yale the weekend of Nov 1st and given its halloweekend away from my home university, was looking for some places to go. Any recs?

Hi guys! I’m an fourth year student major in AI from China, and currently on a research visit at Yale department of S&DS, and I’m really looking forward to making the most of my time here. As someone who loves to learn and explore, I’m eager to get involved in various activities at Yale, or my life is just lab-library-home-gym without chat with other people and involve in Yale campus life.

Do you guys know how to engage in more campus events or participate in undergraduates activities?Looking forward to connecting with like-minded friends at Yale, and I hope to make this visit a truly enriching experience!

Burner account for obvious reasons. I’m a freshman at Yale right now living in my dorm and am very upset with the lack of goth girls at this school. It seems like all of the girls here are just interested in getting drunk every weekend and listening to Taylor Swift (Who doesn’t even make good music btw). Not much variety of women at this school and it’s honestly disappointing, I was hoping for more. I know for a fact that there are many men here that feel the same way as I do about the shortage of goth mommies at this school. Maybe I’m just looking in the wrong places, but based on what I’ve seen, there are barely any goth girls in Yale. I have been strongly considering transferring because of this issue, so if any of you know where I can meet goth girls on this campus or near it, please message me. Thanks!

Hello! I arrived in New Haven yesterday and I was wondering what the best way to meet people would be in the area:)
