Long term advantage to a degree from Y? Forum

[ticklemesilly]

several coworkers at my summer firm go to Y and literally despise the school and their classmates. I work with many more folks from H, all of whom know several people at Y, and the secondhand reports from their Y friends are consistently negative about the experience, so take all that into account I guess. i assume there's a lot of sniffing one's own farts at a school like Y?

good luck, OP. you sound smart enough to make the right choice, whatever it is

This. I just graduated and absolutely hated it. I will never ever go back. Even just thinking about it makes me feel like I'm going to have a panic attack.

Out of curiosity, why? People were socially awkward?

OP here. Just heard back from fin aid at my current school. Thanks to Yale's super generous offer, i'll actually end up being 15-20k less in debt if I leave - I have a 1L SA which they took into account so I don't think my aid will decrease significantly next year. Is there any valid reason not to go?

Enjoy Yale dude. Have at it.
