The Yale Campus is spectacular! I would highly recommend taking an 'official' tour because if you're not familiar with the school, you won't necessarily know where to go. (Barring that, have someone who knows the school well...a professor, a student, an alum, etc...take you around.) It's also a great town for food, with Sally's and Pepe's being some of the... More

We attended graduation ceremonies for the class of 2013 and were taken with the graduates and their fantastic experience of both education and community. The undergrad residence system with 12 "colleges" staffed with a master, a dean and a staff is just brilliant in purpose which is to guide and cousel students through their curricula, educational and social life.

well, what can one say....It's YALE, the bulidings and grounds are keep so perfect, sooo much to do and see, all the little shops, rest. and bars all along the outside boarders is so much fun

We went to Yale's visitor center and took an excellent student-led tour of the campus by "Sarah" who gave us a very thorough tour with lots of personal insights into Yale.

The Yale campus is very walkable but get a map from the Omni hotel or just about any local business. The Chapel is not to be missed, and the Library is breathtaking. Really. Try to remember that Presidents (among others) have walked these grounds and soak in the history.

We spent a lovely afternoon going through the university. The free guided tour is recommended and usually conducted by a student. The passion these young people have is heartwarming. The young man who took us through the 1.5 hours was very knowledgeable and passionate about the university (He was a British national). We enjoyed the buildings and thought it very... More

Quite beautiful and peaceful, with old buildings. We went there on Sunday, so there are not so many students there.

We reluctantly joined a free guided tour, normally preferring to wander freely, but the tour guide - a student at the University- was so enthusiastic about the University's history, architecture and inclusive atmosphere that we had to stick with the tour. The libraries were particularly inspiring though we didn't see the vast underground one where all the studying is actually... More

The tour starts at the visitor centre with a (for UK visitors) cheesy video but things improve dramatically once you get outside and are guided around the amazing buildings and listen to the well informed (student) guide. All very picturesque ... a New Haven 'must do'!
