What is the Yale equivalent of Harvard Yard?

<p>Is there a place where students hang out outdoors?</p>

<p>Old campus, where most of Yale’s freshman live: <a href=“http://map.yale.edu/map/”>http://map.yale.edu/map/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I would think that it is more each college’s courtyard. I say this as the parent of a kid in TD who never lived on old campus.</p>

<p>Like the Harvard Yard, the Old Campus is where commencement is held, as well as big concerts and the like.</p>

<p>Old Campus is the equivalent. But like donnaleighg said, each residential college has its own courtyard which is a smaller scale than Old Campus.</p>
