<p>hey everyone</p>
<p>Im looking at Yale for RD and I'm wondering, for those of you applying (especially EA), what is it about Yale that you love so much??</p>
<p>Just about everything... but especially the residential college system, amazing peers and professors, reputaion, and the amazing architecture.</p>
<p>I love the residential colleges and especially the people. There were actually a couple of really good topics about this a while back. I'd suggest searching for them, as you may find more info there.</p>
<p>Yeah, find the "Likes/Dislikes" thread. That was a particularly good one for what you're looking for.</p>
<p>reputedly the best undergrad program in the US, a strong drama program, the fact that it's not rural, the atmosphere, the prestige, the "teas", the....everything. plus the fact that it seems more open to so-called "pointy" (vs well-rounded) students than Harvard or Princeton. i definitely lean towards pointy....
coming from a good high school, i learned that the kids you go to school can make EVERY BIT of difference. man, the kids i know made my life amazing (though crazy), and at a public high school i would've been miserable. so the high quality of the applicants is what attracts me the most. but that's not only a characteristic of Yale. my greatest reason for wanting HYP is to have amazing peers.</p>
<p>I would love to apply one day because of their Japanese Study Program in Kyoto. Have to research that more. Maybe people just like Yale because it's Yale, y'know?</p>
