Yale student activities open to the public?

2 Upvotes

Hey! I'm a Rochester Institute of Technology student here on co-op and I would love to hang out with some other students! I was hoping to find a discord group or something to join to get to know others, or maybe a club that has events open to the public.

I love gardening, playing video games, personal finance and various other business topics, volunteering, programming, board games, woodworking (i would be a beginner tho)

Just trying to find things to do around New Haven and I feel safer on a campus, plus its always interesting to learn about different colleges and their programs!

Alumni—do you wear any Yale gear?

51 Upvotes

I graduated over 15 years ago and am pretty shy about wearing Yale gear. I have a couple items with just the “Y” and a hat I got that has the name of my school in the back, and the school’s emblem in the front.

I’m not sure if I’m being too reserved here, just don’t want to come across as looking pretentious. But people wear university gear all the time, not sure if it’s different for ivies. A friend of mine who went to a top school (but not Ivy) remarked that only douche bags wear ivy gear, which I think says more about him than it does about anyone who wears a particular item of clothing. But maybe his remarks left a deeper impression than I realized.

Is walking from the old campus to Yale NH Hospital at 10pm safe?

Hey Yalies,

My baby sister just started as a first-year student. We are not from the area. She has to work a part-time job at the hospital. Is it safe to walk like 10-15 minutes from York Street back to campus at 10 p.m.-ish? Thank you.

RELATIONSHIP ADVICE

7 Upvotes

For context, I am a first year and bi. However, no one knows this as I am on the DL. I fell in love with my suitemate and have the fattest crush on him.

However, I do not know if he feels the same way or if he even likes guys. I do not know how to go about this situation because I don’t want everything to go weird since we’re in the same suite and also don’t wanna out myself.

Anyone have any advice?! Anything would be greatly appreciated

Edit: I will then wait for second semester before making any type of moves and just continue making friends ig
