Sun, 9 Jul 2000 17:04:03 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author IdiotSavante - I know what you're thinking.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mentat - Yale was nothing like I expected it to be, but then again I am not sure what I expected. Academically, Yale has no peer: the best professors, the best resources, the biggest libraries, and the smallest classes. Socially, Yale is a learning experience I...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author td99 - It would be really hard for me to describe the social life at Yale in any succinct manner. But I'll try:
