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!
