“Reflection on college.Quite BrightUndecided
Reflection on college...
"...brilliance is brilliance, no matter the size of a school's endowment. The professors at any school have devoted their lives to the pursuit of knowledge and the sharing of that knowledge with future generations. They can offer you more than you could ever receive. And as for college students, most of them have put aside...obsession with status and are at that wonderful stage of life where relationships are deep and adult, yet the spirit remains active and youthful. Additionally, the self-consciousness of teenage years disappears somewhere between using unisex communal bathrooms at 8:30 AM and realizing that everyone has talents which you could only dream of possessing. College life is an incredible blend of extreme stress, despair, and exultation. We read Tolstoy and Milton and learn how quantum mechanical formulae can relate to molecular movement, and at the end of the day, we exult in the fact that we're still very much children and watch cartoons, throw snowballs, and battle with squirtguns with a carefree intensity that most of us have not felt since elementary school. This is college...No matter where you end up, I swear that you'll love the place and secretly believe that it's the very best school in the world...”--Seraqael, PR board on May 06, 2002 01:42 PM

“Yale is a wonderful school.Quite BrightHistory/Histories (art history/etc.)
Yale is a wonderful school. The student body is intelligent, friendly, and diverse. Students are passionate about what they do, especially when it comes to extracurricular activities! The campus is beautiful. New Haven doesn't deserve its negative reputation. While it isn't a perfect city, there are many good restaurants, and many opportunities for community service. And, of course, academically, Yale is amazing!!!!! Yale has something called a "shopping period". Students don't have to register for classes until 2 weeks into each semester. That way, students get to go to all the different classes that they are considering taking, and then they decide which of those classes that they want to take. I highly recommend Yale University!
