<p>Urban</a> Dictionary: doorsock </p>
<p>(LOL at #2)</p>
<p>But I've always heard sock (didn't you ever see that free facebook gift a while back?) maybe a tie, but never a hat.
I guess the moral is, always be vaguely weary of anything hang from your knob (that was an innuendo for those not so euphemistically inclined...)</p>
<p>Brunette. I won't lie.</p>
<p>^^^ LOL ... 'hanging from your knob'</p>
<p>ya thats a good rule of thumb</p>
<p>Haha I love this thread!</p>
<p>I'm kinda sick of hearing about grades and scores and such..I wanna know more about life at Yale..the social aspects!</p>
<p>Yeahhh I'm more of a relationship kinda girl myself. I mean, I'm not looking for my potential future husband or anything, but I would like to have a relationship that lasts for more than like a week.</p>
<p>Hahhahahh the sock thing was funny. I remember when Paris freaked out about not having batteries for her headphones that one night she thought Dean was coming over. </p>
<p>I really really want to visit Yale to see what the atmosphere is like you know? Too bad it's so freaking far away.</p>
<p>Hmmmm. Well if we were at New Haven this would be about the time I would ask you out for dinner, but maybe bull dog days? ;)</p>
<p>I looked up my name (Jordon) on urban dictionary and this is what I got:</p>
<p>An extremely caring guy. He is very dirty minded. Knows how to treat a woman. Good kisser. Can make anybody feel better. His hugs have the power to heal. Is known to be VERY good with his hands, ask any girl. Oh, and did i mention, HE CAN FLY!
Girl1: Hey, have you heard of Jordon?
Girl2: Yea, I hear he flys through girls windows and uses his magic fingers on them!
Girl1: He sure does! He flew through MY window last night!!</p>
<p>urban dictionary knows whtsup</p>
<p>LOLLLL I won't even be at BDD, I'm a junior :( </p>
<p>My name on urbandictionary (but I don't want to put it on here, sorry)</p>
<p>_____ is a name for girls. Most <strong><em>'s are artistic, smart, romantic, beautiful and also very charming. _</em></strong>'s can get whatever they want if they try. They can be very sexy so watch out! They are romantics and love old movies, art and books. They usually aren't very athletic, but if a ___ is athletic she kicks butt! they have great fashion sense and usually look smokin'. A ____ will most likely become a mother because they love kids. They are very successful in life and there is just something about them that draws people in. Also they are ah-mazing dancers!</p>
<p>It's actually pretty accurate [she said modestly]</p>
<p>Hmm i am sure your parents wouldn't approve of a Shvartze anyway.</p>
<p>Schvartze. But nice try ;)</p>
<p>I'm ALMOST impressed by your knowledge of Yiddish vernacular. Almost...</p>
<p>Dang it spelling is not my strong suit. Yeah you might be surprised how many Jews are here in Texas, and Hebrew is big for Temple. But it seems there are many who are conservative as opposed to the reform.
I was at one of my friends house and she had a huge TANAKH, I mean it was gigantic. My love of Seinfeld (and Christianity) spurned an interest in Judiasm. I probably know more about that than I should.</p>
<p>Actually I'm not that surprised. Are you from Houston by any chance? Because I've heard that there is a pretty big Jewish population there. </p>
<p>The thing about Jews is that we make up less then .2% (not 2% but .2%) of the world's population, but you can find some everywhere you go, even Ethiopia :) </p>
<p>What do you mean "Hebrew is big for Temple?" You're probably saying something legitimate that I'm just totally missing! haha</p>
<p>Yeah i live in the suburbs of Houston. What I meant is that in the Texas aka Houston area alot more services are held in Hebrew, but according to another friend of mine in Los angelos Hebrew was not as widely used.
Did you check the stats for the percent of jews at top colleges? There were like 26% at Harvard and I think like 30% at yale. Seems as if jews really are the blessed people.</p>
<p>Ahh, I see what you mean! Well it depends on the level of religiousness (as to whether or not they're held in Hebrew) </p>
<p>I've heard those stats as well! I went to visit Yale last spring break, which unfortunately coincided with Passover, BUT it gave me an opportunity to hit up the Hillel and try their Kosher for Passover food (not bad, I might add) and the kids there were SO nice. In fact, during BDD if you get in (GOOD LUCK!) I highly recommend you go there at some point just to say hi and meet some people because even if you're not Jewish in the slightest they're so welcoming it'll make you want to go there immediately.</p>
<p>Yeah I am pretty pro-Israel and I hear Hillel is more of a culture thing than a religious thing. I want to try more Kosher food, Hebrew nationals are delicious :)</p>
<p>SO, the dating scene...</p>
<p>(even though I just blasted someone else on the gay ivy thread for keeping on topic)</p>
<p>^Is probably as varied as the students that attend Yale......</p>
<p>Have we still not gotten any Yalies to post on this?</p>
<p>i'm a freshman at yale so i will try to answer this for you. but of course friends are different for everyone. </p>
<p>When you first get here, the first people you will become friends with are people in your college (especially suitemates) and if you did a preorientation program, then the people you met there. I usually eat dinner with my suitemates in my college, as most people do, but people do also have a lot of friends outside of their college. </p>
<p>During the first few days, everyone is ready to meet lots of new people. You go to activities that sound interesting to you rather than trying to go with a group of people. So you meet people there, through clubs you join, classes, and through other friends. </p>
<p>people definitely have friends diverse groups of friends outside of their RC. </p>
<p>There are both hook up and dating scenes here. It depends on the person (and generally where they meet the other). If you go to frat parties and things like that, that tends to lead to more of a hookup scene. People who meet dates in other places are more likely to have a dating scene. so it really depends on the person.</p>
<p>I can't comment on the current dating scene, because my experience is too old, but the residential college system makes it very easy to make friends with people in your college, starting with your freshman dorm. In my experience, most people's primary group of friends was in the residential college--primarly because you will spend long hours in the college dining hall hanging out with these people over meals. You will also make friends through other activities--not so much from classes, in my experience.</p>
<p>There is not much traditional dating at Yale (boy asks girl he doesn't know well to restaurant for dinner). The most common models of romantic/sexual interaction are the random hook-up coming out of weekend parties and good friends from residential colleges/extracurriculars who dance around each other for a while and then finally get together. Some people have casual sex, but the majority of random, one time hook-ups do not involve sex.</p>
<p>If you want to party and hook up with someone new every weekend, you can totally do that. If that's not your scene, that's fine. There are plenty of men and women, gay and straight, who are looking for a serious relationships. As I mentioned earlier, there is significant pairing off within the residential colleges and extracurricular groups after people have hung out in the larger group for some time together. There tends to be some angst prior to getting involved as people don't want to ruin the group dynamic or have to deal with seeing the other person a lot if/after they break up.</p>
<p>There are plenty of couples at Yale, but it's not a place where you feel badly if you're single. Many events requiring dates are screw your roommate events where you get set up with someone, so there's not pressure to actually ask someone out or be in a couple.</p>
<p>As is true for any college, lots of Yalies end up marrying someone from college.</p>
<p>Admissions Addict was formerly "Hot girls" Addict, so said juicy campus before it closed.</p>
