<ol>
<li>Yale has an uncanny resemblance to Hogwarts in several aspects (architecture, res. colleges, rivalry, etc).</li>
</ol>

<p>newt, yeah I noticed that too. ESPECIALLY ON THIS PHOTO

<p>Ah, that photo is really nice. Yale is going to rule :)</p>

<p>definitely. I'm already feeling YALE SPIRIT:)))))) GO YALE!</p>

<p>ahh it's so beautiful!! Yale is definitely my dream school (yes, I know, welcome to the club..). I'm a junior right now.. begging on my knees that the Almighty Admissions Gods will pleeease like what I have to offer. It's just perfect. I'm salivating.</p>

<li>Robert Frost (I think) called the Branford Courtyard the prettiest place in the nation

<li>Sarah Hughes goes to Yale.</li>
</ol>

<p>Went. She's been off for a while touring, and a recent Newsweek article insinuated that she may not go back. </p>

<p>Until recently Hughes was focused entirely on school. Last spring she completed her freshman year at Yale. But she couldn't resist returning to the ice for the lucrative world of ice shows. While a three-month, 60-city tour is grueling, show skating doesn't demand the difficult triple jumps required for competition. Hughes would be hard-pressed to get back into shape for an Olympic season after not having competed for more than three years. "I have no doubt I could do it if I wanted to," she says. "But my mind is not really there right now."</p>

<p>Hmm... kinda hard to tell.</p>

<p>I hope she comes back - my little cousins are terribly excited by the prospect of running into her (yes, I know it would be unlikely) when visiting me on campus. Such cute things (although they are also very annoying at times)... :p</p>
