Life on Campus

Yale has long been known for its training and work in the creative and performing arts, and this leadership adds much to the cultural life of the University and the community.

Life in New Haven

New Haven is a city of about 250,000 people and is situated on Long Island Sound near the center of the Connecticut shoreline. It is a major Northeast port facility and transportation junction. By car or train, New York is only one and a half hours away and Boston three hours away from New Haven. Yale and New Haven have grown up together since 1716, and the University and the city interconnect and work along side each other in significant ways.
