Campus Life

The food and dining did seem really delicious!

Yale has great food most of the time! There are always vegetarian options, and the fruits and vegetables are organic. Sometimes the food can be a little iffy, but there's always a sandwich bar and cereal if you're not quite feeling the entree.

Yale makes a consistent effort to offer vegetarian, vegan, kosher, gluten-free, etc options for those with diet restrictions. Yale is also very environmentally conscious and tries to incorporate as much local food as possible into the menus. In addition, because there is a great deal of diversity within the student body, the variety of dishes is quite good. There is a lot of international food. Also, the dining halls are gorgeous, and there are tons of them. You will never be bored with Yale's dining.

Plenty of near by options for healthy minded individuals.

The food is excellent and cooked right in front of you by chefs. You can eat at one of the 12 dining halls on campus - each one is unique.

While on the Campus Visit, my classmates and I were able to enjoy the wonderful food at Yale. They have a wide variety of options to choose from including vegetarian. On a whole their food is great.

The food here is fantastic! A lot of people say that the food in college is terrible and end up missing those home-cooked meals. This is not the case at Yale! The dining halls here serve amazing food, night after night. If you're just into burgers and fries then those are always available if you'd life. But the dining halls are notorious for their culinary variety and are always serving up something new delicious!

I don't know about the on-campus food, but I've heard there's a bunch of great restaurants in New Haven itself.

Very good food, freshman 15 here I come. Seriously, a variety of choices at multiple dining halls. Even late night snacks. I have never left hungry.

Yale dining is top-notch. Each residential college dining hall hosts special food events every year, bringing in some of the country's best chefs. Italian, Mexican, Korean, Indian, Spanish, Chinese, and Vietnamese cuisine dominate Yale's food scene.

Present, but not pervasive or necessary for having a good time.

There are definitely sororities and frats, but they're not as big as they are on other campuses. I'm not in a sorority, but I have friends who are and they love it.

Not as big as at many state schools, but still a part of campus social life/party scene.

Greek life isn't a huge part of the Yale experience. I definitely exists but you won't feel like you're missing out on anything if you don't get involved.

I haven't heard alot about the Fraternities or sororities, except that they're not very prominent.

Available if you want it, but plenty of fun and interaction in each of the houses as well. It is easy to float socially between them.

Not an integral part of campus, but definitely still a presence.

Greek life for females (as in sororities) is very limited; there are some frats for men, but even then, Greek life doesn't seem nearly as widespread here as it is at many other colleges.

If you are interested in Greek Life there are opportunities to get involved, but if not, these organizations do no run the school in any way.

The great thing about Yale is that you don't have to join a frat or a sorority in order to have a good time. I've seen other schools that require the students to join a frat in order to go into frat parties. This is hardly ever the case at Yale. Greek life isn't too big, and the administration is constantly trying to restrict Greek influence on campus.
