Good professors

Yale has some great classes. In particular, I have really enjoyed the history, economics, and political science departments. However, the teachers in science/engineering/comp sci are less interesting overall. Yale is a good place to get a liberal arts education, but not a great place to be an engineer or get a practical education.

Diversity at Yale University

Determined Diversity

The student body at Yale is designed to be diverse. Part of the admissions committees decision process rests on creating classes of Yalies who represent all types of people. I feel like I have met students who represent nearly every different political, economic, sexual, and ethnic identities at Yale. Students hail from dozens of countries and all 50 US states. That said, there certainly is a high percentage of students from the Northeast, but may be due to the Yale's location (which is, after all, in the Northeast).
