This school is horrible, lasted only a year.BrightAccounting
This school is horrible, lasted only a year. they give you way too much work even for a nerd like me, i cant even use the bathroom or get a good night sleep without worrying about work, its like a prison. High school is nothing compare to this. The students think they're all that (like they're the president or something) even though non of them even have 1 minute of work experience, while my family and I are busting our behinds just to pay our bills. I mean anybody can make it here, just have rich parents and no life. NOT WORTH MY MONEY OR TIME even now with the economy, just go to a community college and take it from there. goood-luck

An undergraduate college should encourage, excite, and nurture the curiosity and creativity of the student body. Yale is a warehouse of talent with a great library but no time to use it. Classes are invariably huge, numbering in the dozens to hundreds at all levels. Access to faculty, when they are on campus, is not only discouraged but difficult to arrange. Grad students, often the worst complainers on campus when they are not on strike, offer the only one-on-one assistance most students will find. Town-gown and union-management relations has always been abysmal. Take your top grades and talent to a school that will help you find your way, both professionally and socially. All too many at Yale are forgotten and discouraged by graduation, and going on to better professional schools are their only salvation.
