<p>How difficult is it for a junior transfer to fit in at Yale? Since it is a year where many people are scattered off campus and such, would I feel isolated?</p>
<p>I'm a junior transfer. It really depends on your personality. If you're introverted and shy, you may have some trouble. I can tell you now that Yale puts its transfer students into single dorm rooms (not single or double suites, but stand-alone singles), so you're not going to have a roommate that you can use as a launching pad, so to speak, for your social life. I could definitely see how that would make it seem isolating. I have the type of personality where I am not really shy when interacting with people, but I tend to hole myself up in my room. I had to force myself to go out and meet people the first few weeks. Basically, the social life isn't going to come to you as it may have freshman year of college.</p>
