<p>as a current yale student, I have to say that yale does a terrible job of maintaining its online presence in general. these recent upgrades to the college site and the admissions site are welcome breaths of fresh air in a sea of bad looking webpages and outdated layouts. just take a look at the homepage and compare it to the homepages of other schools in the ivy league - there’s definitely something lacking in terms of vibrant graphics, new focus, web 2.0 look, etc. there’s one thing to be “traditional” in appearance and another to just simply be backward. facelifts are definitely needed</p>
