<p>Yale is likely to add two new residential colleges. Any idea when the new colleges, if added, will actually begin to house students?</p>
<p>A decade, perhaps?</p>
<p>The Corporation votes on it this month. Everyone assumes it's a done deal, so once they vote yes, we'll start seeing concrete details.</p>

In interviews over the last semester with two dozen current and former Yale officials, this much is clear: When the Yale Corporation convenes one week from today to decide whether to proceed with planning to build two new residential colleges, the decision it makes will be more of a formality than anything else.

<p>They're estimating 2013.</p>
<p>The expansion itself doesn't really bother me...Yale will still probably be smaller than Harvard in terms of undergraduate population.</p>
<p>However, the location STINKS. Behind a cemetery, on science hill, isolated from all of the other colleges? Not sweet.</p>
<p>I'm just glad I'll have finished at Yale before they're done :) And who knows, with a $22B endowment, Yale might be able to make the area around the colleges much more appealing. Nonetheless, there are still some BIG concerns surrounding this whole thing</p>
<p>I don't like this expansion one bit.</p>
