<p>hey</p>
<p>i was considering doing the yale summer school next year,and was wondering if anyone had any comments to make: did you enjoy it, etc. I was really wondering which colleges everyone stayed in?? i also heard that one of the sessions had a lot of hs kids while the other had a lot of college pple. does anyone know which session is which??</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<ul>
<li>Session A (starts late May) has mostly college kids, due to the dates (most HSs aren't over till early/mid June).</li>
</ul>
<p>(just saw that you had other questions)</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Summer college/dorms: these rotate every year, dep. which ones are avail (not undergoing regularly scheduled renovations), anticipated sizes of summer student population etc.
You do not have a choice on which college to stay at.
Also other programs utilize Yale colleges, such as Junior Statesman, so college residences are allocated for different programs.</p></li>
<li><p>Generally have heard very positive responses from kids who took the summer program.
Some instructors (usually grad students) aren't that stellar; some faculty are outstanding.
Except to work hard for a good grade though, it's not a summer camp!</p></li>
</ul>
<p>I attended Yale Summer B last summer and it was the best time of my life.
Summer A is mainly college students, last year we stayed in Stiles, and both of my professors were great. Also, do the trips on the weekends if you go.</p>
<p>hey, i just attended summer session B this summer and it was a really great experience. We also stayed in Stiles, the "ugly" college, but trust me its a lot better than many other places I've seen. If you go, choose your classes wisely, although you can change during the first week. I really loved the Political Science class I took, Crime and Punishment, which was taught by the same proffessor who teaches the course during the year. My other class, Introductory Microeconomics, wasn't as enthralling and the professor was definitely a grad student, but I still found it interesting. Be ready to work hard (I had to pull a few all-nighters), but also to have fun and meet great people.</p>
<p>I remember those all nighters, the dinning hall was a great place to study because it was the only cold place. YSS 2005 was a lot of fun</p>
<p>Despite the Stiles "architecture",
its location was great though:
across the street from Payne Whitney Gym
and adjacent to the Yale Bookstore (run by B&N).</p>
<p>Also many spacious singles & walk-in closets, if that's what one prefers.</p>
