Around Town

Hang out with friends, Toad's, attend events hosted by various clubs.

Go to parties, go to concerts, see various plays/shows, watch movies, etc. Yale is a very artsy place, so there are always shows (musicals, concerts, comedy shows) going on. Most of this is Friday night/Saturday night. Don't expect there to be much going on during the weekdays, because people are usually doing work.

SO MUCH. There are always arts, athletics, academic, etc events going on, so there's never a shortage of options. Yale's social life is also very lively. New Haven has lots of road races, clubs, restaurants, museums, etc to visit as well. New York is also just a 2 hour train ride away.

Hike to east rock (local park), walk around downtown, go to Toads PLace (a dance club).

There's always something to do on campus. During a typical weekend there are bound to be plenty of activities to choose from, from plays to symphonic concerts, to a cappella concerts, to poetry slams, to sporting events, you name it. You will never get bored.

It's in the downtown of a Historic and beautiful city, so there's inherently alot going on, and it's only a short way from the business of NYC.

Too many clubs to mention. The house system (think Hogwarts) is fun and creates a smaller feel to the school. Plenty of activities on campus and beyond. New York City or Boston are reasonable speedy train rides away, with NYC only about 80 minutes.

If you are the dancing type, Toad's Place is Yale's hallmark place to go. For lovers of art and culture, Yale has multiple theatrical, musical, and comedic events every weekend, from concerts to dramas. New Haven also harbors a movie theater nearby, as well as many museums, bars, coffee shops, and clubs.

Go to on-campus or local shows, explore the city, hang out in a cafe, dance at Toad's

New Haven is very boring, and honestly, there is not much to do for fun.
