<p>Ha ha, this is a funny story. The main reason I'm not applying to Yale is that when I went on a tour guide, my guide was outside smoking right in front of the gift shop when two guys popped out and jumped him. After that, I was traumatized by the whole event and refused to apply there (not that I'll make it even if I did, of course). Just an interesting story. By all means, go ahead and apply. :)</p>
<p>HAHA that's really funny...</p>
<p>It was worse when the guide tried to fight back. He kept doing flying drop kicks agains the assailants. The adults on our bus had to come out and chase the two guys away. We just watched in the safety of the bus.</p>
<p>lol......good times</p>
<p>Everyone read this!</p>
<p>this is an example of a completely stupid reason to not apply to a college</p>
<p>it's a joke. It says so at the end. Don't be so negative and critical RootBeerCeasar. You must a few fries short of a happy meal...</p>
<p>LMAO...that's rich!</p>
<p>this is flat out retarted</p>
<p>"Retarted"? Haha.</p>
<p>I visited Yale and decided not to apply partly because of the city. New Haven gave me the creeps - I couldn't put my finger on it exactly - and I knew I couldn't spend four years there.</p>
<p>There were definitely homeless people on the tour we took. I don't mean we saw homeless people. I mean that homeless people actually sat in the lobby and followed us around on the Yale campus tour and went to the information session and everything. They didn't say one word, but it was very weird.</p>
<p>yeah! exactly! I'm glad someone else sees the reasoning behind this. Sure, the story IS "retarted" (as schismmanifesto put it) but New Haven IS a very dangerous area and I don't like the city-life anyway.</p>
