Around Town

Yale is located around a large shopping center so there's that. There's also many historic places nearby Yale to visit. Yale also has places for students to enjoy their social lives.

Have friends. No, but just explore the town and Temple Street and watch movies and play sports and games and explore the campus or read one of their 14 million books. There's plenty to do here.

Toad's Dance Club is popular for many. Each residential college has their own "Buttery" (late-night cafe) which is fun to hang out with friends and do homework at.

Lots of food places near campus, toadâ??s place has wednesday dance parties only for yale students (called Woadâ??s). Parties on weekends and sometimes Thursday. Lots of performances. Movie theater and escape room nearby.

Because every Eli is different, a community exists for everyone. There are more parties and traditional social scenes than one might expect; at the same time, Yale groups and organizations host a plethora of events on any given weekday.

Go to Woads!

Tea! There's a wonderful tea shop nearby.

It's located in a beautiful area, surrounded by tons of things to do. Plus like any college campus, there are stereotypical college fun things to do.

The town of New Haven is anything but boring. When there aren't parties on campus (which, let's face it--is only during Finals) you can bet on the party scene at the local Toad's Place to be on fleek. There are college fairs as well as regular entertainment on the New Haven Green. There's always something to do, but you may want to go out of town from time to time as well.

It depends on what social scene you are into, but there's anything from frat parties to board games and friends watching Netflix. Toads is a dance club/bar/bonding experience that Yale students go to on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The social experience is really what you make of it, and for me has been much better as a sophomore that as a freshman, because people have relaxed about general drinking and party habits. There is a lot of alcohol consumption and very little regulation by Yale security or police.
