Hi!! I'm an incoming freshman at Yale and I'm really scared!! I don't know a single soul going to Yale (my school has never had a Yale admit and I couldn't go to Bulldog Days).

Everyone I see/follow on instagram going to Yale has like 5 other people from their school also going and I'm scared I'm going to be very alone during welcome week. I'm pretty extroverted and outgoing so I will always try and make friends but I'd hate to miss out on parties/events/festivities on my first few days because I'm drifting.

Could anyone tell me what the first few days are like and if other people were cliquey?

Also there are so many of those venue welcome week parties that advertise on ig. I normally wouldn't buy these but idk if I should for welcome week?? I severely need advice..

There's a first year seminar english course I really want to take but it says instructor permission is required. I'm kind of confused since it's a class just for first years. Am I just supposed to email the instructor and ask or do I wait till registration day and then email them? please help!

I'm an alum who was on campus again recently and I ran into the YDN reporter who covered all of the residential college deans leaving story.

Why did so many deans retire in the same year? The reporter couldn't find a straight answer; I'm wondering if anyone here can. I'm in TD, I loved my dean, I don't think I could have graduated without her.

I'm wondering what's going on behind closed doors in the administration. Something must be happening...six or seven deans in one year is not a coincidence.

I am pretty well connected to the alum/administration network and am aware though of some residential deans who I don't think would have left for salary reasons or because their salaries weren't enough, which leads me to wonder. These deans I'm talking about have their finances in good shape so any kind of pay cut wouldn't have affected them.

Hi all!

I'm an incoming freshman who's looking to get some advice on her schedule. As of now, I'm tentatively doing DS (so help me god), and I really want to take an easy class alongside it (preferably one that knocks out a science/QR requirement).

I was looking at classes that don't conflict with my tentative DS schedule and came upon Phil 1115 with Professor Daniel Grimmer: First Order Logic. Does anyone have any advice on my tentative schedule? Would also love to hear of people's experiences with Phil 1115 because CourseTable has quite the array of evals LMAO + if it's manageable with DS! Also, I welcome and would greatly appreciate any DS tips/advice, whether that be about the program itself or professor-specific.

Thank you so much!!
