<p>Does yale have certain locations that would be amazing to study at when you dont want to study in your dorm?</p>
<p>Haha duhh :]
(If you aren’t somehow happy with the libraries, the gorgeous campus green, there are tons of cafes and such)</p>
<p>Check out the Yale Art Museum’s sculpture garden.</p>
<p>Stacks in Sterling. Beinecke. Million places.</p>
<p>god, with a library like Beinecke, you’d WANT to go and study in their library!</p>
<p>The Firestone. Harvard Yard. y’know.</p>
<p>Isn’t it a bit dark in Beinecke?</p>
<p>Gorgeous courtyards all over the place. The L&M reading room in Sterling. The reading room in Beinecke (which is well-lit, unlike the areas around the stacks, but which looks out on the Noguchi sculpture garden).</p>
<p>All the colleges have their own libraries, too, which are usually great places to study.</p>
<p>One of my freshman roommates used to go to the cemetary to study and to practice his guitar. He said it was the best place to pick up girls. I never checked it out for myself, though.</p>
<p>There are dozens of great cafes in Downtown New Haven, and more in some of the yuppie neighborhoods within a 5-10 minute bike ride.</p>
<p>man yale sounds amazing Im glad I will be applying here instead of Harvard:)and hopefully I get accpeted to see alll these places you are all talking about. any more?</p>
<p>^^This may shock you, but many people apply to both schools.</p>
<p>yeah I have seen alot of posts that have tht but a good percentage of those applicants choose yale over harvard from what I can see.</p>
<p>JHS,</p>
<p>Sorry, but I have to ask - how did things work out for your freshman roommate? Did he meet anyone interesting in the cemetery? Was that person alive and female?</p>
<p>Beinecke inside in the sunlight is magical. The wall panels are only a little over an inch thick in the middle so they glow. The normal word is translucent but the experience is that they glow - with the giant glass rectangular altar of books in the middle. </p>
<p>Most people don’t realize you can use the books. Much material can simply be requested. You sit in the room and they bring stuff to you that you can’t believe they let you handle - with gloves sometimes and no pens, etc.</p>
<p>UMDAD: He claimed yes. I did not independently verify. Certainly none of them became so much part of his life that I ever noticed them. But girls have rooms, too, so I can’t say that nothing interesting ever happened.</p>
<p>This was the roommate for whom I wrote the following song lyrics, based on things he actually said:</p>
<p>The girl that I marry will have to be
A Doctor at least of Philosophy
Around her snow-white neck
Hangs a Phi Beta Kappa key won at Cal Tech
Our own little lab is the place we’ll be
We two, and our molecule, that makes three
We’ll be breedin’ in our Eden
And she’ll carry my prize home from Sweden
Oh competent, very, the girl that I marry will be</p>
<p>He was something of a piece of work, in other words. Real girls were not his forte. I know he’s married now, but I don’t know to whom.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Thumbs up for necrophiliacs.</p>
<p>JHS,</p>
<p>To whom or to what?</p>
