"Studying science at Yale gives me the opportunity to interact closely with professors from many different departments, at the forefront of their fields. When presenting my research, professors are engaged in what I have to say and always provide useful feedback to encourage further research and learning. On the more social side of things, Yale provides an opportunity to interact with students from the various graduate schools making a social life outside of your own school readily accessible. Whether it is meeting folks at GYPSY for a drink after a long week in the lab or at the themed FFF (First Friday’s at Five), Yale provides an environment which makes the transition between social and intellectual lives seamless."
