<p>So we see lots of college sites referencing to how a specific applicant fits in at a college. And I know you can't generalize or stereotype an entire student body, but what is The Yale Man? The person who would best be the epitome of Yale University. I'm just curious!</p>

<p>Thurston Howell III went to “Hahvahd,” and regularly said about people he didn’t like, “Probably a Yale man.”</p>
<p>Sixty years ago, William F. Buckley published GOD AND MAN AT YALE, which launched his career. It was described as a “lovers quarrel,” and is the iconic attack on the American university as haven for atheism and liberalism.</p>
<p>As a local, I’ve developed an unhappiness with Maya Lin, who once proposed building a wall around Yale to keep us out. (Maybe she was looking for a gigantic commission. Some of us think her remark encapsulated the Yale man and woman’s attitude about New Haven. Along with Buckley, we have a love-hate relationship. </p>
<p>Yale just did permanently buy some streets which it had been leasing.</p>
<p>^Interesting, I hadn’t heard about the Maya Lin statement.</p>
<p>D1 picked Y because of it’s more gritty, real world setting. She didn’t appreciate the cloistered, genteel feel of a place like Princeton. NH also had more opportunities for working with underserved communities which was something she wanted.</p>
