The word from: the Students

Amazing academics and extensive resources, that's how Yale can be summarized if we'd want to be simplistic. With a phenomenal in and out-of-class education and a very committed to learning student body, people attending Yale get a very good treatment when it comes to academics. There's a great focus on under graduates' education. Professors are required to teach at least one undergrad course per year and the residential college system implemented makes it even better, having administrative attention widely available and highly specialized. There's a huge amount of resources to aid students, including a set of libraries with millions of books that can be used by the students.

It has a challenging academic life, but aside from mid terms and finals it's actually pretty laid back. Undergrads benefit from from over 300 groups and activities to have fun, like dancing, singing, juggling and theater. There are always shows on campus from the various groups too. Parties and social gatherings are a common thing in and out of campus, as well as trips to New York and Boston. Many of the political active students participate in organizations in order for them to try and make the difference they want. In campus, there are always parties to attend in frats or rooms and even though it may seem like there's pressure to drink but in fact there is none of it.
