Are all Yale Law Students abysmally anti-social?

Post by lawhopeful24 » Sat Apr 26, 2014 1:37 pm

As an aspiring top law student I was dumbfounded by the blatant anti-social tendencies of Yale law students at a recent event. Is this the case of all Yale law students and is it reflective of anything meaningful in law?

A shining example:

I was sitting with one guy and I was telling him a story how about in my sophomore year of undergrad I created a student organization to advocate/push for a certain cause, and he then goes on to tell me about some ridiculous, unrelated story about his undergrad. I attempted to recover this dying conversation, but I kept realizing that this guy had 0 ability to make any meaningful social connection with me, nor even relate to anything I was saying.

1. Not reflective of Yale law students.
2. I have some great friends at YLS who are great people, easy to talk to, and enjoyable to spend time with.
3. Generally speaking, it's not a good idea to make a judgment about an entire group of people based on your experiences with one person, especially where that group consists of people from a wide variety of backgrounds, hometowns, and experiences.
