I just applied early for Yale, but I’m worried about New Haven. One of my largest involvements is live music in bands and small ensembles. Does New Haven have a lively music scene for young people?? Thank you!!

In addition to the offerings at Yale, there is also Toads place which is right on campus that hosts lots of local “garage band” type shows and competitions. I know that several kids participate in those and my daughter has a friend in one that competes at battle of the bands there if that is what you are asking about.
