Yale University: Admissions 2025, Fees, Rankings, Scholarships & Programs

Some of my friends and I chose this University as it was good for us. I also researched and learned that this is best suited for me and I wanted to learn and pursue a lot from this college.

Campus life was a little different since I commuted, wasn't able to socialize as much and make new friends. But the infrastructure was good. I have not joined any extracurricular activities.

The research program at Yale best suited my work interests, had a world class research environment, highly talented and inspiring individuals, and comprehensive funding and support facilities. The health insurance etc. was also comprehensive and fully paid for by the university. My department at Yale ranks among the best in the nation and produces very dense, highly quality research in a tightly knit, multi-disciplinary collaborative environment combining aspects of mechanical/civil/chemical engineering coupled with electrical engineering and analytical chemistry which I appreciated quite a lot. Yale also provides immense international exposure and numerous opportunities to develop additional dimensions in one's personality. In my case, I also trained in Shotokan Karate at Yale and received my Black Belt from Japan Karate Association before I finished my time at the university.

Yale boasts of a world class gymnasium which is among the largest university gyms in the United States. On its second floor is the largest elevated swimming pool in the world. If you are interested in kayaking, you can train for that as well within the Gym building. So this should give you an idea of the scale of resources available as sports facilities. Yale regularly produces Olympic athletes that represent the U.S. so all facilities are designed catering to the need to train at that level. My Karate team also included members who represented the U.S. in world championships. The Yale Sterling Memorial Library houses over 15 million books and many more could be pulled through its network with other major universities (including the Ivy network, MIT, Berkeley, UChicago etc.). In addition, there are also smaller libraries scattered around the campus (e.g. the Math library is a building dedicated to mathematics). It never occurred during my 5 years at Yale that I wanted an information source (book, article etc.) and I didn't receive it. At this point, I'm of the opinion that Yale library services can reach any info item on the planet that you request them to find for you and all this happens at zero cost to you as a graduate student.

Small class size_ 30 ppl ,IVY League , good location in the US

Campus life is immersive but a bit of a struggle for food. Many events over the week
