Categories Comments Great for these types of students If I had to guess, I would say bright, highly-motivated students.
Tips for prospective students Getting in is likely the hard part! Take the most challenging courses your high school offers and do well in them. Make sure to get involved and stay involved in clubs of your interest.
Bang for the buck As of the recent Ivy League financial aid initiative, Yale has likely never been so affordable!
Will enjoy being here The residential college system ensures that you get the feeling of a close-knit community of students within the larger institution. Students seem really happy to be there.
Will learn a lot With so much history around you combined with an Ivy League atmosphere, how can you not learn a lot?!

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Adventurous types seem to enjoy it the most. It certainly is best to have an open mind and just dive in when you're free to try anything: research as an undergrad with amazingly talented professors, learn any foreign language, travel anywhere in the world, develop relationships with people wildly different from what you're used to, etc.
Tips for prospective students Don't bother joining every organization that your school/community offers. Try to find a few things that you really like to do by junior year and really hone in on them. Everybody I've met here did lots of really cool stuff in high school, but they limited themselves to only a few activities that they were passionate about.
Bang for the buck Financial aid is great! Yale will always help you and your family find ways to keep school affordable. After all, it is in their best interest to keep you here.
Am enjoying being here How could I not enjoy hanging out with charismatic nerdy kids, learning about anything I am interested in from world-class professors, being a part of any of the dizzying array of activities, and of course, living in a castle?
Am learning a lot It is hard to limit yourself to only 4 or 5 courses with all that Yale has to offer. It isn't unheard of for very ambitious students to pile on 6 or even 7 at a time! Many classes will push you hard to master the material, but there are always a handful of courses that are more laid back. That is, you get as much out of them as you're willing to put in.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students The arts scene is great here, so anyone who really likes the arts will enjoy Yale. Frankly, every scene you can think of is pretty vibrant here, and everyone will find their place. If people are looking for professional advancement and training though, they'd be far better off looking for a less liberal-artsy school. Even other Ivies tend to be more career-oriented than Yale is.
Tips for prospective students There aren't really tricks for getting in. Express yourself clearly (in interviews and in essays), check over your work, make sure things are in on time. Do study for those silly standardized tests. But most importantly, be authentic, be passionate, and you'll be fine regardless of if you get in.
Bang for the buck It's hard for me to say, since I haven't had to test the monetary value of a Yale diploma out in the real world, and debate does tend to be heated about the value of a private school vs. public school education. Yale does give exceptionally generous financial aid to most people, so that's not usually an issue for them. The opportunities here are basically unparalleled -- so if you can stretch a dollar here a very long way, if only you take the time and effort to do so.
Am enjoying being here In every way I'm enjoying being here. The support system for freshmen is pretty great; they take care of you and make sure you're eased in, there is always something going on around campus, and there is such a vast variety of people that basically anyone can find a niche.
Am learning a lot The classes here are pretty incredible, but you learn only as much as you want to learn. No one here is watching to see if you do the reading and pay attention in class -- but that's true of all colleges. There are distributional requirements, which ensure that you learn in a variety of different areas, but they're in no way very difficult to fill. Frankly you'll be overwhelmed by the number of courses you'd like to take. You also learn a lot -- maybe more -- from the people around you, their sheer talent, curiosity, and eagerness to share. It's really a lovely place to be educated.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students If you like the feeling of community. If you enjoy personal relationships with the faculty affiliated with your college or who head your seminars. There are plenty of heavy partygoers, but for the most part, I would say if you want to go out every night, here wouldn't be conducive not only because there would be limited options but because of the work load.
Tips for prospective students Bring a big variety of clothes since many of the social events include costume parties, such as 80's themed or mathlete themed dances. Get into the routine of cleaning a little bit every day since you won't usually have the time to stop what you're doing and do a full run through of the room.
Bang for the buck I have found it slightly hard to find an on campus job, but actually, I seem to be spending less money on average here than I did during my time in high school. Be prepared for the expensive books, but you have time to order on Amazon or other cheaper websites. With the dining halls being so close and available, it almost seems improbable to go out to eat, but if you want, there is everything you can want out there in New Haven.
Am enjoying being here Although sometimes the weekends can be slightly dull if you don't look into what's going on ahead of time, there is usually something taking place. The frat scene isn't big, but if you want that, you can find it, as well as plenty of dorm parties and Toads is open every Wednesday and Saturday if you want to dance. No party school by any stretch, but definitely a fun place.
Am learning a lot There is such a expansive variety of classes that it seems to be the best of an all-encompassing education I think you can get almost anywhere. Of course there are less than motivating lectures or seminars, but if you find those classes that click, you will be very happy. With the 2 week shopping period, you have a chance to try out a lot more classes and have higher chances of finding the ones good for you.

Categories Comments Campus Safety So New Haven isn't exactly the safest city. But we have tons of security--ID swipes are required practically everywhere and there's always a blue emergency phone nearby. Yale Police are on every corner, especially at night, and you can always call for a safe ride home.
Greek Life There are enough frats/sororities here to be present but not to overwhelm. I know people in them, but I also know tons who are more than happy without Greek life. It's a good mix.
Clubs and Activities Anything you can imagine, Yale has it.
Great for these types of students Super motivated, independent, driven, but also ready to let go and have fun.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus We have screw, which is basically when everyone sets you up with a blind date for a dance. Then there are residential college gatherings, such as the running of the bulls for trumbull students, or the freshman olympics. We have tons of school spirit. Oh, and the Harvard-Yale football game of course.
Bang for the buck Okay, so it's pricey. But it's also great for financial aid. I pay less here than I would going to an in-state school, and the education...well it's basically priceless.
What to do for fun There's East Rock for the avid hikers/joggers, a movie place nearby and of course Broadway street for shopping. Plus, New York City is just a train ride away (only $28 round trip!!!) so that's great for a fun day trip in the city with friends.
Food and Dining Although it's nothing like home cooking, the staff here really makes an effort. We have a large variety of food, and it's easy for vegetarians and vegans to find yummy stuff. Desserts here are incredible as well....
Dorm Life I love the residential college system. It creates the sense that you are attending a smaller school with all the benefits of a larger research university. And I made instant friends with my randomly assigned suitemates.
Academic Rigor It's definitely a tough school, but there's also a huge support system here. Tons of advisers, your college dean and freshmen counselors are all totally available to help.
Tips for prospective students Definitely come and see the school before you decide here. I would suggest contacting the admissions office to see if they can find someone you could stay with for a night (everyone loves hosting potential students!). I fell in love with Yale when I first came; it's how you know you'll be happy here. Also, come to Bulldog Days if you get in! It's tons of fun to meet future Yalies.
In three sentences Yale offers everything that I wanted in a school. It has a beautiful campus, wonderful faculty and incredible residential college system. The students here are super motivated and driven, but the atmosphere isn't competitive so even though you are pushing yourself really hard, you don't feel intimidated by what everyone else is doing--everyone is brilliant at something, be it academics, an extracurricular or in the personality and social life.

Categories Comments Campus Safety it's a city; don't go out alone in sketchy places at night. that said, there hasn't been a murder yet this year or last year. the yale police are there to help you; they won't get you in trouble for little things like drinking or parties. yale doesn't have that many rules; we have a lot of freedom.
Greek Life not significant, but there if you want it
Clubs and Activities anything you can imagine...even a bookbinding club! polo, pistol team, agriculture (yale has a full sustainable farm)...look it up: there are so many clubs
Great for these types of students intellectually curious cooperative not cut-throat fun and easy going ambitious
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus too many to count! yale was founded in 1701; it has so many cool traditions.
Bang for the buck yale is my home and the best place on earth. it is also extremely expensive, but the name has already opened so many doors for me, and i'm only a freshman.
What to do for fun toads and mory's (an exclusive private eating club) are classics. there are parties all the time, even on thursdays, and the club district in new haven is about a two minute walk away from old campus.
Food and Dining one day, i had lobster bisque and calamari. at our christmas dinner, there were ice sculptures and lobster. even day to day dining is delicious with vegan and vegetarian options, at least 3 different non-vegetarian main course options, a salad bar, 3 or 4 different dessert options, two different soup options, a bar and grill, coffee, juices, yogurt, milk, sodas, fresh fruit and vegetables, delicious oatmeal, buttermilk pancakes, waffles, and cereals in each of 16 dining halls.
Dorm Life old campus is amazing for freshman. you live in suites often with in-suite bathrooms. my suite has four people: two singles and a double. it has two fireplaces and wood-paneled walls. sophomore year, you get to live in a residential college. it's like houses in harry potter. without even leaving this castle-like structure to go outside, you can reach the dining hall, a theater, a gym, art and pottery studios, sound-proof private musical practice rooms, even a printing press. each one also has a beautiful courtyard.
Academic Rigor although it's not hard to get good grades, yale's classes are rigorous and stimulating. yale is there to help you succeed, not weed you out. everyone has such diverse and unique talents; you will never lack stimulating conversation.
Tips for prospective students intellectual curiosity and personability is key. yale wants to create a diverse, cooperative, tight-knit community, so convey your personality well. it's not all about academics.
In three sentences yale is the best place on earth. i felt at home within a few weeks and have yet to meet one boring or unlikeable person. the residential college system is probably the highlight of the community.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I walked around with a friend of mine on Bulldog days to a good half mile completely off campus at 2 in the morning, absolutely nothing shady going on, nobody following us, not even the slightest feeling of danger. People who still say New Haven is a bad neighborhood need to go back and see how it is now.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There are secret societies which Yale is known for. It doesn't affect your life if you're not in one, don't feel like you're not good enough.
What to do for fun There are countless extracurricular activities you can pursue at Yale. Anything from fencing and polo to sailing and Motorsport racing. If you can't find a club with the activity you like, you can start one, and Yale will give you all the money and resources you need to make it happen.
Food and Dining The food is amazing. I'm not talking pizzas and burgers; I'm talking about borderline gourmet food. Organic options for every meal, you can eat as much as you want in one sitting, doesn't get any better than this.
Dorm Life Residential colleges are beautiful. You can feel the knowledge and creativity as well as world renowned heritage just oozing out of the crevices. Dorms are adamantly big, you have a common room, the bathroom isn't too small for the floor and has big windows that can be opened if it gets too smelly.
Academic Rigor It is Yale after all. Everyone here got here because they were academic and extracurricular superstars where they came from. However the competition is not with your peers, but rather with yourself. You strive to one-up yourself rather than that guy who scored higher than you in Chemistry.
Tips for prospective students Explore your options; don't be afraid to try new things, even if you aren't going to commit to them. Yale has an atmosphere of academic and extracurricular rigor and passion without the feeling of having to be a try-hard. If you get into Harvard too, don't let the name or fame be the tipping factor.
In three sentences Yale is Harvard WITHOUT the snobbery, competition, and constant atmosphere of I need to do better than everyone else. The opportunities and resources are virtually unlimited and frankly quite overwhelming. The most important asset of Yale is the people, the students and the professors, who are exactly the type of people you would want to learn with and learn from.

Categories Comments Campus Safety New Haven may not be the safest city in the country, but the campus is not dangerous at all. The Yale Police Department and Yale Security are both constantly visible around campus. Students can even call security to be escorted from door to door. That being said, one has to be street smart while around New Haven--don't go out along past the boundaries of campus at one in the morning. Students do occasionally get held up, but that happens mostly to the graduate students who live off campus.
Greek Life The great thing about Yale is that you don't have to join a frat or a sorority in order to have a good time. I've seen other schools that require the students to join a frat in order to go into frat parties. This is hardly ever the case at Yale. Greek life isn't too big, and the administration is constantly trying to restrict Greek influence on campus.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Don't be surprised if you attend a party and everyone ends up naked. Yale loves naked parties. And naked runs at the start of finals week.
Bang for the buck Yale may be expensive, but their financial aid department is amazing--as are the departments of all the Ivy Leagues. Luckily, I pay not tuition thanks to the generous financial aid and a few outside scholarships that pay for work study and summer contributions.
What to do for fun No matter what, there is always something for everyone. Yale is known for its acapella, improv, and comedy groups. If you're not the type to join these, you can always attend their concerts. Most are free, if not under $5. There are also on-campus parties pretty much every weekend.
Food and Dining Food on campus is not bad, but the availability of late-night food is less than satisfactory. Dining halls close at 7:30, and this tends to be a problem for students who are up late. The only other options around campus (Gourmet Heaven and Durfee's) are ridiculously expensive. However, Downtown New Haven has some great restaurants. If money is not a factor, these are definitely great options.
Dorm Life Every university should have a suite configuration and a residential college system. This is one of the reasons why I chose Yale. First, the suites allow you to become closer to more than just one or two roommates. In addition, the residential college system makes it feel like you are part of a smaller college. Each college has a master and a dean, and they really do know you by name, and you will see them almost every day at the dining halls or giving out candy in the college library during finals week.
Tips for prospective students Yale really does look at more than just academics. They are really interested in students' extracurricular activities. They make it incredibly easy for students to start their own clubs. I really believe that I was admitted because of my dedication to high school extracurriculars.
In three sentences Yale is an environment for brilliant minds. You can expect to find plenty of competition in an environment like this, but you will also be surprised by the amount of peer support that you will find here.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Ambitious, unique, and motivated.
Tips for prospective students Visit campus if possible - it's beautiful and you'll learn a lot. Plus, you'll get to eat Pepe's pizza!
Bang for the buck As for the buck, big endowment = big aid. No need to speak of the bang.
Will enjoy being here Their housing system is unique and one of my personal favorites. They just sound like so much fun to live in, and a sense of family, community, and coziness is important to me.
Will learn a lot In the words of the Yale admissions video (That's Why I Chose Yale): I came to Yale cause I wanted to learn, and I wanted to learn from the best. I was tired of memorizing figures and facts just to pass another test. Seeing as how Yale students generally are considered some of the brightest of the bunch, Yale is doing a fantastic job, especially with their focus on undergraduates.

Categories Comments Campus Safety yale is located in an urban area, so you naturally have to be more careful. you must have your school id everywhere to get into buildings--especially at night. and if it's late you shouldn't be walking alone. i've never once felt unsafe here.
Greek Life we have it!
Clubs and Activities there are too many clubs to count! you can sing, dance, put on a comedy show, play a sport, volunteer locally or internationally, or start your own organization! one of the hardest decisions is which extracurricular activities you will get involved in.
Great for these types of students you must be driven. there are so many unique people here from completely different backgrounds. the only thing any student should have is the drive to succeed.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus there are 12 residential colleges (if you don't know what i'm talking about you should look it up!). the college i live in and our rival college have this crazy tradition where at midnight the first night before exams start, my college walks into their courtyard screaming, chanting, blowing horns--anything to wake them up or annoy them. the other college is prepared with tons of water. they run out with water guns, dump water on our heads from the windows above, and use hoses to try to chase us out. i did this my first semester and it was so much fun! very cold, but entirely worth it to watch the other college get really frustrated when we just would stop screaming and leave!
Bang for the buck yale gives scholarships based on financial need only. there are no scholarships because of your impressive resume, etc. it's purely based on what your family and you can or cannot afford, which is amazing because yale is so generous with it's money. yale is an amazing place to live and study, plus it's affordable for everyone.
What to do for fun there is always something going on. if you like concerts, plays, comedy shows, etc, we sure have plenty. but if you like to go dancing, we have that here too, plus there are fun parties in the suites. and there are a ton of restaurants in new haven!
Food and Dining the food could be better, but couldn't any colleges dining hall improve? there are a lot of options for everyone, vegetarians and vegans included. and there are over 12 dining halls you can go to for all your meals so you don't have to eat at the same place every day.
Dorm Life yale has amazing housing options. everyone lives in a suite, where you share a common room with four to ten people. it creates a sense of community and the minute you move in you have something in common with a rather large group of people! and where i live, there are connecting doors between every suite so you don't have to just hang out with your roommates!
Academic Rigor you have to work hard, but the work load is by no means unmanageable. many people here don't talk about their grades, specific classes or how much work they have to do, academics are just a part of the experience and when you are with others everyone is talking about more fun things!
Tips for prospective students visit. apply. fall in love.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Like most cities, New Haven has crime too. There is a strong police and campus police presence and I feel safe all the time. Many locked gates and levels of security.
Greek Life Available if you want it, but plenty of fun and interaction in each of the houses as well. It is easy to float socially between them.
Clubs and Activities There is a club for seemingly everything. The hardest part is limiting yourself to 4-5 ;) and still be a dedicated full time student.
Great for these types of students Smart but outgoing and communicative. Yes, college is full of classes and labs, but a big part of the ongoing value will be the relationships that you foster and build in your four years. Yale is great in so many disciplines that there really is something for most anyone to pursue with quality and rigor.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Too many to list with our long history. We all have our favorite spots to hang out or study. The tunnels between houses are always an adventure.
Bang for the buck It is a GREAT education with awesome average starting salaries and endless opportunities. 60% of students received an average of $41,350 (they would rate this at 5 stars). 40% of us get zero aid (less stars). The website aid calculator will give you a good guide, but assume you will get less. These are important family discussions. Do it up front BEFORE you apply as my family did. It is an investment in my future and we are all on board. Very happy here, no regrets.
What to do for fun Too many clubs to mention. The house system (think Hogwarts) is fun and creates a smaller feel to the school. Plenty of activities on campus and beyond. New York City or Boston are reasonable speedy train rides away, with NYC only about 80 minutes.
Food and Dining Very good food, freshman 15 here I come. Seriously, a variety of choices at multiple dining halls. Even late night snacks. I have never left hungry.
Dorm Life The roommate sorting hat works well and I really enjoy my suite mates. We have enough in common to bond, yet enough differences to always add variety to each other's lives. We are from all over the country so it is great to see the world from the different vantage points.
Academic Rigor Challenging classes. The variety of class offerings is amazing. Too many great choices each semester with a limited amount of time to take them all. Multiple levels of advisors, so there is always someone to answer your questions.
Tips for prospective students Volunteer, be active, have an opinion. Be ready to speak up, share your ideas, challenge others, find a new understanding. Take the hard classes in high school. Push yourself. Practice the discipline and work ethic of school that is necessary to be successful here. Fill your summers with educational pursuits and volunteerism. Read for the joy of discovery and to understand the world around you. We will have to fix the problems of the world in a few short years so start your preparations now!
In three sentences Yale is great place. The history, the students, the faculty are all terrific. There are multiple levels of student support, and we are very much a family. The sorting hat for roommates works great, and the list of outside speakers coming to campus could fill every night with a new and different experience. It enhances the overall experience of what you get from your studies and time at Yale.

Tips for prospective students Once you've achieved perfect grades and SAT scores, do something interesting that you enjoy. Passion makes students stand out.
Bang for the buck If you get in here, you're probably sacrificing a full ride somewhere else. I personally decided that it's worth the $50,000+, but it was a tough decision.
Will enjoy being here Students balance academics with every club and activity under the sun.
Will learn a lot Top-notch profs and the best students in the world... it might rub off.

Bang for the buck if i get accepted and graduate from Yale, i expect a great bang in the career department with all the knowledge i will learn from Yale.
Will enjoy being here The campus is so beautiful and they have an engineering program. i didn't know that. i hear its very hard to get in. Based on the virtual tour Yale looks like it has a lot to offer.
Will learn a lot After i complete my undergraduate degree with a major in engineering, i want to go to law school. Yale has all of the things that I'm looking for. i will learn a lot, how could i not.

Categories Comments Food and Dining Food is acceptable compared to other colleges, but the amount of vegetarian options can cater more to the healthier choices than not.
Dorm Life The residential colleges are a fantastic system, but it can become a bit straining with the difference in accommodations on Old Campus.
Academic Rigor Very challenging classes, but they are worth it. The intelligence is palpable, but the community is obvious and there is always support if you do not understand a topic.
Tips for prospective students Be yourself in the application process. It can be hard when hearing about all the people at these schools, but admissions officers are more impressed by sincerity rather than bragging.
In three sentences Yale is a fantastic school with amazing people. The saying that the people make the school is no truer than here, and everyone can find a community to which they belong. An open environment and amazing academics makes Yale one of the best schools in the world.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck Yale being an Ivy League school, you'll get invaluable contacts into any and every field imaginable, lining you up with some of the most lucrative positions in each. The bang your buck can make is something like the sound of the Tsar Bomb, which was heard 'round the world twice over.
Food and Dining You're in New England.
Dorm Life Yale attracts more than one pompous student, and like every Ivy school, Yale naturally caters to the pompous. But for the rest, dorm life is friendly and accompanied by a splendid atmosphere. The experiences you'll have are wide and varied, from the prim and proper to the comically illicit. Finally, you'll come here alone and leave with some relationships whose ties time will never sever.
Academic Rigor No matter her skill in art, the teacher can only go so far with her student. She could make his education into the most tempting baked good -- ambrosia dusted in chocolate and plated on the finest silver platter -- but it would still be his choice to eat it. (A caveat: this isn't to simplify the art of teaching into a cooking show.) It was once said by Aristotle that we cannot learn without pain. If Yale is for you fatiguing; is Yale is rigorous and terrifying; if Yale is the bane of your very existence and the pain in your very [ash]; then here, you are learning. The faculty may make attaining an education easy or they may make it very hard; but if you will it, they will make it happen.
In three sentences Among the Ivies, Yale University likely champions the liberal arts, offering scores of rigorous classes and generally being acutely perceptive to the depth of philosophy in the field, though perhaps in an immature way. (But I figure maturing the mind is the duty of an education.) If you mean to attend an Ivy that will prepare you for a career, it's best you look elsewhere: but if you're looking for an Ivy to prepare you for life, look no further.

Tips for prospective students 1) Emphasize your non-academic extracurricular activities - the admissions office likes to see that you're successful in more than just academics 2) Find a passion and stick to it 3) Be active in your school community! It helps in accruing recommendations.
In three sentences At Yale you'll find students who are intellectually curious and ambitious. It's a challenging school and you'll find yourself learning just as much outside of your classes as inside. It's an enriching, fast-paced, exciting environment and there's no place quite like it!

Categories Comments Clubs and Activities You will find all sorts of great clubs and activities at Yale: the Yale Debate Team, Yale Quiz Bowl, MEChA de Yale, the Yale Model UN Team, the Spizzwinks a capella group, club sports, political parties, the Yale Robotics Association, Red Hot Poker Comedy Troupe, the Purple Crayon Improv group, and many, many more. If you're a sports enthusiast, you will love the school's intramural sports competitions. Each residential college battles for the Tyng Cup, the most prestigious undergraduate sports trophy.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Every spring, Yale's secret societies tap the most prominent students on campus. These societies gather up their members for rituals and parties. Among the most well-known secret societies are Skull and Bones, Aurelian, Scroll and Key, and Wolf's Head.
What to do for fun If you are the dancing type, Toad's Place is Yale's hallmark place to go. For lovers of art and culture, Yale has multiple theatrical, musical, and comedic events every weekend, from concerts to dramas. New Haven also harbors a movie theater nearby, as well as many museums, bars, coffee shops, and clubs.
Food and Dining Yale dining is top-notch. Each residential college dining hall hosts special food events every year, bringing in some of the country's best chefs. Italian, Mexican, Korean, Indian, Spanish, Chinese, and Vietnamese cuisine dominate Yale's food scene.
Dorm Life No other school matches Yale in terms of dorm life. As an undergraduate, you are randomly assigned to one of Yale's 12 residential colleges. Like the houses in Harry Potter's Hogwarts, each residential college provides its students college-specific events and traditions. The residential colleges are complete with their own dining halls, common rooms, theaters, studios, libraries, machinery shops, computer labs, and even snack bars.
Academic Rigor Yale is by far one of the most academically demanding institutions in the world. You will be pushed harder than you have ever be pushed before, and you will learn more than you have ever thought possible. But unlike other Ivy League schools, Yale has a healthy academic climate that will not burn you out. Yale's liberal arts curriculum will nurture your mind. You will get taught by some of the world's leading scholars, like historian John Gaddis, psychologist Paul Bloom, economist Stephen Roach, and law scholar Akhil Amar.
Tips for prospective students When you visit Yale for Bulldog Days, make sure to attend as many art and theater shows as you can; these will give you a taste of Yale's great arts culture. Find a niche in one or several of Yale's student groups, whether in the Yale Political Union, the Yale Glee Club, the Whiffenpoofs, the Yale Aerospace Association, or the Yale Symphony Orchestra.
In three sentences Yale is simply a remarkable, multicultural university. You will find everything here: beautiful arts, cutting-edge research, immense libraries, fantastic professors, and wonderful traditions. It is certainly better than Harvard.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There are blue telephones stationed EVERYWHERE to call police if you feel unsafe at all. If you are walking around and feel unsafe you can call an escort and a yale security officer will meet you to walk with you to your next destination. or you can call a shuttle between 6 pm and 6 am to drive you anywhere if you are afraid of walking.
Greek Life there are so many frats and sororities to cater to any and everyone. And if you don't wanna pledge but you still wanna party no worries! i'm not in a sorority and i go to every frat party with no feelings of not belonging.
Clubs and Activities like i said: something for everyone!
Great for these types of students EVERYONE. but if you are an LGBT student and you come from a family or region where homosexuality is condemned (cough texas cough) this school is for you!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus We have a naked run at the end of the year before finals for people to let loose and be relieved of stress!
Bang for the buck The opportunities, networking, and experiences you will get here are definitely worth the tuition. (especially if you are receiving financial aid)
What to do for fun there is literally something for everyone! i mean that. There is a club that runs around old campus on brooms like in harry potter. If there is something you wanna do and there isn't a club for it, you can easily start one. My friends and I started a club for people who love Beyonce and we get FUNDING for it lol.
Food and Dining There are soooo many options for dining halls! The food and ambience is great! No need to worry about running out of dollars or anything like that. You get three meals a day so no need to budget. This only becomes problematic when its 11 pm and you want food but its not breakfast lunch or dinner time.
Dorm Life The dorms are absolutely gorgeous thanks to that good ole gothic architecture! But beware: this university is older than this country and so there are lots of cracks and corners for mice to get into during the winter. But maintenance is really good about getting an exterminator and plugging in those holes if you call them!
Academic Rigor The school is harder to get into than it is to maintain. Don't get me wrong it is hard at times but thats mostly a challenge of time management. There is infinite support so you'll never feel lost or alone.
Tips for prospective students If you are considering applying here, I suggest that you focus on your personal essays. Everyone applying here is amazing academically and does a million and one activities. Your personal essay is your area to say hey! this is me and i'm perfect for your school! It's what takes your scores, statistics and resume and makes it into a real person. Think of it as your closing argument.
In three sentences Yale University is the best thing that has happened to me. In the most non cliche way possible, I have learned more during my first year and a half here than I could have ever imagined. Thanks to the political, economic, and ethnic diversity, I have been places, met people, and learned things I never could have imagined.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Since New Haven is a fairly large city we have a lot of security and our own personal police force to keep us safe. Safety will not be an issue.
Greek Life Greek Life at Yale definitely isn't as large as in other schools but it is definitely there if you want it.
Clubs and Activities Too many to list
Great for these types of students Any and everybody
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Toads...need I say more (you'll understand when you decide to attend Yale)
Bang for the buck The beauty of Yale is that they will pay for whatever you can't afford. So with that in mind, yes you most definitely get the bang for your buck. Some get the bank without even spending a buck.
What to do for fun I could literally write a book for this section. Yale has a lot to do for fun. If you're into partying we have parties, if not we have a never ending list of different clubs, organizations, and events which all involve free food (no greater pleasure) and tons of fun.
Food and Dining Food was amazing when I first attended this school but as expected I got tired of the food and began to miss the food from home (which I used to be tired of lol).
Dorm Life It's a dorm...nothing more and nothing less.
Academic Rigor AS explain before, the academic setting is pretty rigorous, depending on your major.
Tips for prospective students Please be yourself in the application. Yale is not only looking for student that have high GPAs and test scores. They know people are so much more than that and that is what Yale wants to see. In other words, show something interesting about you that you can offer.
In three sentences Yale is an amazing university with a very diverse student body. Everyone who attends is brilliant, which is both beautiful an a little intimidating. As a whole, Yale is an academically rigorous university, with students who know how to relax and have fun (unlike that other ivy league in Cambridge lol).

Great for these types of students Unique backgrounds
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus All of Yale is historical. Also secret societies are a big deal as well.
Bang for the buck Very expensive, but great finical aid and one of a kind experience.
What to do for fun New Haven offers great dining, shopping, movies and is a close distance from malls and New York so there is plenty to do.
Tips for prospective students Study up, but everyone here is successful, so don't depend only on your brain.
In three sentences The people and experiences are amazing. Yale offers a great college experience without sacrificing academic rigor. I would be happy nowhere else.

Categories Comments Campus Safety New Haven is a rough city, but the Yale Police keep us safe. If you act smartly, you will be fine. There haven't been any major incidents related to any Yale students in the past few years.
Greek Life Not an integral part of campus, but definitely still a presence.
Clubs and Activities There's a club for everything.
Great for these types of students Well-rounded, passionate, kind, and those who have integrity and want to work hard and go far
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The Yale Symphony Orchestra concert in Woolsey Hall on Halloween! And spontaneous a cappella shows. And secret societies!
Bang for the buck It's definitely expensive, but financial aid is generous, and you're getting a truly top-rate education with abundant opportunities.
What to do for fun Go to on-campus or local shows, explore the city, hang out in a cafe, dance at Toad's
Food and Dining You can't do better. Very healthy options, delicious, and organic!
Dorm Life Dorms are a bit isolating in the suite/entryway system, but you find other places to hang out with your friends
Academic Rigor It's tough, but not cut-throat
Tips for prospective students Be yourself in the application process. Do what you love and let that shine through. Don't do things for college.
In three sentences Yale is a first-rate education. Classes are always exceptionally engaging and interesting, and the quality of students you meet, in terms of integrity and passion, is the best you'll ever find. There's definitely a party scene, but also a rich culture of arts, and plenty to do if partying isn't your thing.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus safety is one of Yale's primary concerns. Even in the below freezing weather the security guards are still roaming campus, making sure everyone is safe and secure. They go above and beyond to make us feel comfortable.
Greek Life Greek life isn't a huge part of the Yale experience. I definitely exists but you won't feel like you're missing out on anything if you don't get involved.
Clubs and Activities There is something here for everyone! I was blown away by the sheer number and diversity of clubs and activities here. Here's a tip: if you're into it, there's a good chance that at least a dozen other people on campus are too and they are probably already having regular meetings on Thursdays or something. Even if there isn't already a group for it you won't have any trouble forming your own club. The process is simple and easy and Yale will give you money to get started!
Great for these types of students Yale is great for the nerds among us, the creatively gifted, and for the athletically inclined! When I say that this school really is great for all types of people I truly mean it. Anyone with an insatiable appetite for knowledge would feel right at home here.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus One of my favorite traditions is the big, Old Campus-wide snowball fight during the first snowfall of the school year. All of the freshmen pour out of their dorm rooms onto Old Campus at midnight and engage in a free-for-all snowball fight.
Bang for the buck Yale is ridiculously generous with financial aid. If you get in then Yale will make sure that it is affordable for you.
What to do for fun There's always something to do on campus. During a typical weekend there are bound to be plenty of activities to choose from, from plays to symphonic concerts, to a cappella concerts, to poetry slams, to sporting events, you name it. You will never get bored.
Food and Dining The food here is fantastic! A lot of people say that the food in college is terrible and end up missing those home-cooked meals. This is not the case at Yale! The dining halls here serve amazing food, night after night. If you're just into burgers and fries then those are always available if you'd life. But the dining halls are notorious for their culinary variety and are always serving up something new delicious!
Dorm Life The dorms here are great. Most freshmen live on Old Campus, which has some of the most beautiful architecture Yale has to offer. The dorms are surprisingly spacious and cozy for freshmen housing. Starting sophomore year everyone moves out of Old Campus and into their respective residential colleges. These rooms are even bigger and nicer!
Academic Rigor The school is tough. You study a lot and spend a lot of time in libraries, but it is all so very rewarding. At the end of the day you actually feel like you've learned and accomplished something.
Tips for prospective students Honestly, just be you. Yale isn't looking for the smartest, most perfect, go-getters out there. Yale really just strives to find the most interestingly gifted and unique individuals that would make the campus a great place to be.
In three sentences Yale's got stunningly beautiful architecture, boasts one of the largest and most extensive libraries in the country, and is home to some of the most interesting and cutting-edge research in the world, but the greatest thing about this university is the people. The students, professors, administrators, and faculty here are some of the most engaging, down-to-earth, and passionate people that I have ever met. Everyone here is so incredibly spirited and talented.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Much safer than people make it out to be. I only give it a four star ranking because New Haven does have some unsafe areas. That said, the campus itself is incredibly safe. Yale's safety measures are very thorough and I, as a female, have never felt unsafe walking around alone at night.
What to do for fun SO MUCH. There are always arts, athletics, academic, etc events going on, so there's never a shortage of options. Yale's social life is also very lively. New Haven has lots of road races, clubs, restaurants, museums, etc to visit as well. New York is also just a 2 hour train ride away.
Food and Dining Yale makes a consistent effort to offer vegetarian, vegan, kosher, gluten-free, etc options for those with diet restrictions. Yale is also very environmentally conscious and tries to incorporate as much local food as possible into the menus. In addition, because there is a great deal of diversity within the student body, the variety of dishes is quite good. There is a lot of international food. Also, the dining halls are gorgeous, and there are tons of them. You will never be bored with Yale's dining.
Dorm Life The dorms here are unreal. Everything, from the beauty of the facilities to the cleanliness is top-of-the-line.
Academic Rigor It takes a lot of work to go here, but it's definitely manageable.
Tips for prospective students If you haven't applied yet, look for your spark. Yale isn't looking for perfect students, they're looking for students who will bring something new and exciting to enrich the student body. If you're planning on coming here, be prepared to manage your time. There's so much to do here all the time, and it's easy to get sidetracked by all the amazing opportunities. That said, don't freak out if you fall a little behind. Stay on top of things as much as you can, but if you can't all the time, use the breaks throughout the semester to get caught up. Also, use your resources. There are so many ways to get help, whether it be medical, emotional, academic, or financial. It's okay to admit you can't do everything on your own. No one can.
In three sentences Yale is diverse, energetic, and classically beautiful. Amazement is an inevitable constant. Everyone here challenges each other to find those things that set them apart and truly make them who they are.

Categories Comments Campus Safety As long as you have the common sense to bring friends with you when you go out at night and you stay within the Yale bubble (basically from the New Haven green to streets near Broadway and Popeyes/Alpha Delta Pizza), you won't have a problem. New Haven has a reputation as an unsafe city, but in my experience it's no different than other cities - it has it's bad parts, but mostly it's fine. All residential colleges require an ID to get into, so there aren't random people walking around and Yale students look out for each other. There is also a pretty large campus security presence and a lot of resources if you need a ride home or feel unsafe. I always feel safer if there is a guy in the group I'm out with as well.
Greek Life I'm not involved in Greek life, but it can be a fun part of the social scene. Many athletes are involved in fraternities and sororities, and most of the fraternities are associated with a specific sport or two. They seem to be really supportive of their members, and I haven't heard anything about bad hazing or problems with sexual misconduct.
Clubs and Activities You can pretty much do anything you want at Yale, as long as you're up to the process of getting into whatever activity you want to do. The admission process for some activities can be daunting, but I can't imagine what I'd do without the people from my teams, jobs, and clubs.
Great for these types of students High-achieving extroverts do really well at Yale, which can be daunting for introverts, since nearly every extracurricular requires an application and interview, an audition, or a tryout.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The admissions office will tell you that Yale students touch the golden foot of a statue on Old Campus before tests for luck and allow you to take a picture doing so to give you luck for your application. We don't touch it, and you probably shouldn't either, judging by rumors of what some groups have put on the foot.
Bang for the buck The financial aid at Yale cannot be matched. Paired with the incredible academic rigor, you won't find a school with better bang for the buck.
What to do for fun It depends on what social scene you are into, but there's anything from frat parties to board games and friends watching Netflix. Toads is a dance club/bar/bonding experience that Yale students go to on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The social experience is really what you make of it, and for me has been much better as a sophomore that as a freshman, because people have relaxed about general drinking and party habits. There is a lot of alcohol consumption and very little regulation by Yale security or police.
Food and Dining Yale's food is way better than other cafeteria food. The desserts are incredible (hello, freshman 15) and there are special dinners each semester with really classy food. The freshman year holiday dinner was another highlight of my Yale experience. There's even a place where you can get bagels with lox (tons and tons of smoked salmon and capers!) every other Saturday!
Dorm Life Some people love the dorms, but if you don't click with your residential college, it can be hard. (There is the option of transferring to another residential college as a sophomore.) In my college, freshman year has all suites of 4 people, but sophomore year is all 6's, and junior and senior years are 3's,4's, and 5's, so it can be really difficult to stay with all your suitemates if the number doesn't quite work out. There is a ton of housing drama. Overall, the social scene is really nice, and the dorms themselves are beautiful - all hard wood floors and paneling, with large windows to let in light.
Academic Rigor Yale is hard, especially as a STEM major, but I love it. There are so many resources available and so many opportunities because Yale is one of the greatest research universities in the world. It's really easy to find work in a lab or make connections with incredible writers and artists, if you're a humanities person. I couldn't ask for more!
Tips for prospective students If you are accepted, make sure it's the school and not just the name that you love (that goes for any school). Also, go to Bulldog Days if you can. I felt that Yale was the right fit for me when I visited, which is why I'm here now. If you decide to enroll, sign up for a pre-orientation program; it's a great way to start the semester with a group of friends and makes the transition so much easier while also giving you connections to upperclassmen. FOOT (Freshman Outdoor Orientation Trips) was one of my favorite Yale experiences!
In three sentences Yale is a great place for an academic challenge and usually great socially, but it can be isolating for students from lower-income families due to the large number of extremely wealthy, boarding school/magnet school kids. The residential college system gives you a group of people to associate with, but is basically luck of the draw, and because the dorms are organized by entryway, there are few people on one floor, which keeps groups fairly small and close-knit. STEM majors are often discouraged due to harder courses and a lack of well-taught intro classes, especially in mathematics, but tend to bond over the walks to science hill, the never-ending stream of midterms, and the eccentric lecturers.

Categories Comments What to do for fun The town of New Haven is anything but boring. When there aren't parties on campus (which, let's face it--is only during Finals) you can bet on the party scene at the local Toad's Place to be on fleek. There are college fairs as well as regular entertainment on the New Haven Green. There's always something to do, but you may want to go out of town from time to time as well.
Food and Dining The food is all edible and cooked to impress, with exotic dishes coming out left and right. However, some menu selections may prove seriously lacking, and you may find yourself in line at the Chipotle more often than you would have hoped.
Dorm Life Yale's housing situation is unique. Students are randomly assigned to one of twelve residential colleges, and freshmen of ten of these twelve are housed outside of their college, in Old Campus. The colleges breathe new life into each space, complete with their own mascot, colors, chants, reunions, and traditions. It gives Yale a sense of place as well as the students a secondary identity.
Academic Rigor Yale is by no means easy. The conversion rate for one Yale course credit is four credit hours at a state school. Yale's finals are consistently ranked among the most difficult in the nation, and grade inflation is nonexistent.
Tips for prospective students You want to be able to stand out in a positive way among applicants in your pool, and the best way to do that is to adopt a memorable tone in your essays. Also be sure that Yale is a good fit for you--it may not be the case!
In three sentences Yale's plethora of books, resources, and cafe's is what attracts students and staff the world wide to study and teach in this revered university. Nestled in the heart of New Haven, Connecticut, Yale brings with its prestige an old time charm and a medieval feel, as most of the buildings are reminiscent of castle fortresses. There is certainly something for everyone to be found within these hallowed halls and wrought iron gates.

Greek Life Greek life for females (as in sororities) is very limited; there are some frats for men, but even then, Greek life doesn't seem nearly as widespread here as it is at many other colleges.
Great for these types of students Great for students who enjoy partying/dancing/drinking etc
What to do for fun New Haven is very boring, and honestly, there is not much to do for fun.
Dorm Life The residential college system makes it hard to meet students from other colleges and forces you to see and live with the same 100 people all four years.
Tips for prospective students A lot of underaged drinking occurs at Yale, and whether you are comfortable with that or not really affects your social/academic life, so keep that in mind.
In three sentences Yale University has amazing professors. All students are exceptionally hardworking, yet the atmosphere is surprisingly not horribly competitive. Academics are very stressful still, however, and standards are high.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I've heard that there isn't alot of crime on campus, and that it is well-protected, but since Yale is in the downtown of a city, there is crime.
Greek Life I haven't heard alot about the Fraternities or sororities, except that they're not very prominent.
Clubs and Activities I've heard there is a club for absolutely everything on campus.
Great for these types of students Ambitious, and willing to make sacrifices for the greater good.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The tunnels. I've heard rave reviews about the tunnels connecting the houses.
Bang for the buck The average out-of-college salary is around 50K going up to to 100K+ 5 years later... that's pretty good by any standard, though it balances out with the loans.
What to do for fun It's in the downtown of a Historic and beautiful city, so there's inherently alot going on, and it's only a short way from the business of NYC.
Food and Dining I don't know about the on-campus food, but I've heard there's a bunch of great restaurants in New Haven itself.
Dorm Life I've heard it's like Hogwarts, with the students separated into housing groups based on field. It's supposedly quite successful.
Academic Rigor It's one of the best schools in the world, internationally acclaimed, and an Ivy League. It's going to be hard, but it's 100% worth it.
Tips for prospective students I have a 5 point list: 1. ACT score of 32-35. 2. Look for internships. 3. VOLUNTEER. 4. Find out if you're in a special interest group. 5. Have a backup plan.

Great for these types of students Hardworking but not antisocial
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus For Halloween, the Yale Symphony Orchestra makes a video and plays the score live. This concert is one of the big events of the year. Also, every spring there is a concert called Spring Fling - Macklemore is coming this year.
What to do for fun Hike to east rock (local park), walk around downtown, go to Toads PLace (a dance club).
Food and Dining The food is excellent and cooked right in front of you by chefs. You can eat at one of the 12 dining halls on campus - each one is unique.
Dorm Life This is one of the best parts of Yale. You live in a castle (quite literally) with your closest friends. And, unlike most other colleges, Yale has no RAs, so you can party in your dorm room without being disturbed.
Academic Rigor You will learn a lot in classes and the workload is fairly manageable if you can organize your time.
Tips for prospective students Be yourself in your essays - the admissions people can see through phony apps. Writing a genuine and powerful essay will really make your application shine. Also, interview if you have a chance.
In three sentences Yale is a wonderful school that is both academically enriching and socially vibrant. Professors are very accessible and classes are great - but the majority of learning will occur outside of the classroom, with friends, tutors and teaching assistants. Extracurriculars are a big part of social life at Yale, and there's always something to do on the weekends.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Yale is a pretty safe place. It's is a city, so naturally there is crime. However, the actual campus is a very safe place to be. Just be careful of traveling along outside of campus at night. Travel in groups!
Greek Life There are definitely sororities and frats, but they're not as big as they are on other campuses. I'm not in a sorority, but I have friends who are and they love it.
Clubs and Activities Yesyesyesyes! There are so many extra-curriculars to do. It's hard to only choose a few, but it's simply impossible to do them all. Check out their website for information on all the campus organizations.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Getting a Wenzel! (A sub with cheese, buffalo chicken, and lettuce) it's a highly delicious Yale tradition. There's more, but I can't think of any right now.
Bang for the buck I'm lucky because I'm on financial aid, so I'm only paying about 5,000 a year to go to this amazing place. If your family makes below 60,000, you get to come for free! So don't let money be an issue. However, it is pricey for upper-middle class, and it's definitely an issue for some people. However, everyone here loves it, and I can't imagine that they would want to be anywhere else.
What to do for fun Go to parties, go to concerts, see various plays/shows, watch movies, etc. Yale is a very artsy place, so there are always shows (musicals, concerts, comedy shows) going on. Most of this is Friday night/Saturday night. Don't expect there to be much going on during the weekdays, because people are usually doing work.
Food and Dining Yale has great food most of the time! There are always vegetarian options, and the fruits and vegetables are organic. Sometimes the food can be a little iffy, but there's always a sandwich bar and cereal if you're not quite feeling the entree.
Dorm Life Yale is great because of it's system of residential colleges--Yale is divided into 12 colleges, and you'll live with the people in your college throughout all four years. It's a great system because you get that small college feel at a big university. The only bad drawback with the dorms is that they are old, and don't have air-conditioning. (You're also not allowed to bring your own) And in the winter when it gets really cold, some rooms don't heat up quite enough. However, it's not a big deal. Most of the time the dorms are fine.
Academic Rigor I don't really know what people at other schools are doing, but Yale professors will expect a lot out of you. Don't expect to just breeze your way through everything. You will possibly get the first C in your life, and you'll have to be okay with it. So yes, rigorous, but not terrible either. If you're motivated, and you did well in high school, you'll be fine.
Tips for prospective students Take AP and advanced classes, do well in the them, try to get at least a 2000 on the SAT's, and DO WHAT YOU LOVE. Besides good grades and some extracurriculars/leadership, Yale really looks for students who are passionate about and have excelled in a certain field. My passion was art. For some it was music, and for some it was math competitions. In short, it's good to have some extra-curriculars and leadership, but in order to stand out, you need to have something that you're really passionate about and that you've excelled in. By excelled I mean things like teaching an art class or entering art competitons (if you're an artist) or if you're really interested in politics, maybe working on a local campiagn. Just find something that you can really delve into. This is what will separate you from people who only have a perfect SAT and GPA to go on.
In three sentences The best college in the world. The campus is beautiful, the people are great, and there is always something going on. Extra-curriculars are just as if not more important than classwork, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Dorm Life The residential housing seems very nice! When I visited the campus, my tour guide described the dorm life as living in different houses, like the ones in Harry Potter (none of them were named after animals and mythological creatures though). You get to room with people who may have a major different than yours and/or similar to your own major, too. This is because roommates with different majors are randomly drawn together so that the learning environment can still take place in the social dynamics of the campus as people with different majors learn from each other.
Academic Rigor It takes a lot to get into the school. Make sure you have great grades, SAT scores, extracurricular activities, and community service hours to help you out in your application.
In three sentences I went to go see the campus this past summer, and it looked really swell and serene. There is a lot of history there and the campus has seemed to grow and become very popular amongst those who intend to visit and apply to Yale. It is difficult to get into the school as a regular decision applicant, but it is worth the try though, in the end.

Personally, I'm scared to live anywhere but home.

Dorm Life I love the concept of residential colleges. I think it opens up a door for students to get to know the people they will be studying with and find friends without having to look far at all. It also provides a sense of family while away from home that they will likely never forget.

CSO HRW Forced begging of Talibes in Senegal
Oct 05 2010
Download right click "save as"
At least 50,000 children attending hundreds of residential Quranic schools, or daaras, in Senegal are subjected to conditions akin to slavery and forced to endure often extreme forms of abuse, neglect, and exploitation by the teachers, or marabouts, who serve as their de facto guardians. By no means do all Quranic schools run such regimes, but many marabouts force the children, known as talibés, to beg on the streets for long hours-a practice that meets the International Labour Organization's (ILO) definition of a worst form of child labor-and subject them to often brutal physical and psychological abuse. The marabouts are also grossly negligent in fulfilling the children's basic needs, including food, shelter, and healthcare, despite adequate resources in most urban daaras, brought in primarily by the children themselves.More information about human trafficking on the website of HRW.

Very impressive DragonFlyBSD...
Phoronix: DragonFlyBSD 3.2.1 vs. Ubuntu Linux Performance
At the beginning of this month there was the release of DragonFlyBSD 3.2.1 that claimed a battle for speed against Linux with major improvements for the multi-threaded application performance against Linux. PostgreSQL was the only benchmark cited by the DragonFly camp with the new performance results, so a couple Phoronix tests were carried out.
Very impressive DragonFlyBSD...
Why is it that when Phoronix tests a server-oriented OS, they use benchmarks that are more or less desktop/workstation oriented micro-benchmarks that test a single algorithm?
I mean it's nice that someone actually bothers to do benchmarks but why not do them properly?
It would be more meaningful to test all the major RDBMS systems, and things such as concurrent read, concurrent write, filesystem peformance, blogbench etc.
It's also worth noting that DragonFly didn't have openmp untill the current development version 3.3.
The Himeno Benchmark which is the only one where DragonFly is lacking significantly is interesting though. It's almost as if wrong compiler settings were used or there is simply some feature that DF doesn't have.

It would have been nice if you would have also put FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE into your benchmark parcours, since in the past, it came up to light that DragonFly BSD is now capable of keeping pace with FreeBSD and ScientificLinux. I would have been curious about the difference.
In a statistical test, one would have a few machines with similar configurations and similar disk configurations. One would run the tests you indicated on the 10 or more systems and average out the measurements and then indicate the standard deviation from the average.
And only doing the comparisons on the most souped up machine does not respond well to we who may have dual core computers with 4 gigs of memory, no raid, and 7200rpm disk(s).
What could we expect as results with a quad core AMD or Intel system on a Best Buy machine? Lets keep the machine prices to $500 or less.
From the graphs, I believe that the difference between the Linux and BSD system is less than one percent. The two systems are matched. The decider would be a) support community and b) Quantity of application software.
I know the work you put into setting up and performing the tests and documenting the comparisons, and I believe that you ran your tests multiple times, in order to produce credible results. You followed a good procedure. Please do not take my comments as criticism, I live with quadcore AMD and dualcore INTEL systems, and could not determine how to extrapolate your results to my own two systems.

Mono CountyŌĆÖs District 3 is made up of parts of Mammoth, June Lake, Lee Vining (after redistricting last year) and the Mono Basin. It ends at the Conway Summit line, where District 4 takes off.
ItŌĆÖs a district made mostly of people with links to MammothŌĆöfor jobs, hospitals, shopping. When Mammoth suffers, District 3 suffers.
Vikki Bauer has been the districtŌĆÖs supervisor for the past seven years and five months. Candidate Tim Alpers was a county supervisor two times beforeŌĆöonce as a District 2 supervisor from 1983 to 1989 and then as a District 3 supervisor from 1993 to 1997.
The race for District 3 so far has little of the fireworks of District 4ŌĆöno messy family feuds, no allegations of negative campaigning. But in recent months, at least one division and one old skeleton in the closet has showed up.
First the division.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve talked to 29 different businesses from June Lake to Mammoth Lakes in the past several months and not one of them has been able to pay themselves in last three to seven months,ŌĆØ Alpers said. ŌĆ£There is a whole lot of quiet desperation out there. And thereŌĆÖs a disconnect at the county level. IŌĆÖd like to make sure that the county is paying its at-will employees and management employees commensurate with their experience, but not more. ThereŌĆÖs a sense of unfairness with the unions at this, they are having a hard time with it.ŌĆØ
He said he takes issue with how Bauer, who is chair of the board now, treated Supervisor Larry Johnston, who sharply opposed approving a group of at-will and management employee contracts, or increasing the salaries of several management positions, in a meeting in April.
ŌĆ£I do disagree deeply with that,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£I didnŌĆÖt agree with Andrea Lawrence when I was on the board and I didnŌĆÖt agree always with Bill Reid, but you donŌĆÖt publicly embarrass people. She tried to censure him (Johnston), she was not respectful.ŌĆØ
Bauer said that Alpers was contradicting himself on this issue.
ŌĆ£At both candidate nights, Mr. Alpers commented that he agreed with me on supporting management salaries,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£He has said in the past, ŌĆśI completely agree with people getting paid for what they are worth.ŌĆÖ
ŌĆ£Supervisor Johnston was urged by myself to create an agenda item to address these issues without singling out individual employees. He failed to do that and continued a pattern that, over the course of more than a year, degraded county staff morale. With a 4-1 vote, Johnston was in a clear minority. In my world, respect must be earned, and for 13 months I gave Johnston the benefit of the doubt and my respect, then concluded I just needed to fix the problem with a vote.ŌĆØ
Another issue that has popped up in District 3 harkens back to an old event that some voters brought to the Mammoth TimesŌĆÖ attention recently.
It concerns a decision Alpers made when he was a county supervisor in 1995. At that time, Alpers was still running his Alpers Trout business and was a contractor with the county, selling the county thousands of pounds of trout every year.
At the time, Paul Rowen returned from supervisor schoolŌĆöa required training session for newly elected supervisorsŌĆöand told the board he thought Alpers might have a conflict of interest that could come back to haunt the board.
ŌĆ£It was in the middle of my term in 1995 and one of the supervisors, Paul Rowan, said he believed I might have a conflict of interest being a contractor with the county and being on the board,ŌĆØ Alpers said. ŌĆ£So I asked county counsel, Jim Reid and Neil McCarroll, and they researched it. They told me I was clear.
According to Alpers, some of the supervisors then followed it up with the Attorney GeneralŌĆÖs office, which reversed county counselŌĆÖs decision. Alpers was told he had to chose between being a supervisor and being a contractor to the county.
ŌĆ£I was caught in the middle,ŌĆØ Alpers said. ŌĆ£I got pressure from my colleagues. They were concerned about what would happen if they lost the contract for the fish. But I had some things I was working on at the board level that there was no way I was going to abandon and the county found the fish somewhere. I didnŌĆÖt run for re-election then. It was a big deal.ŌĆØ
Before Alpers decided to run for the District 3 seat this year, he abandoned his involvement with the fish business so as not to repeat the same mistake.
ŌĆ£I avoided this completely by relinquishing my interest in Inland Aquaculture Group last year when I decided to run for this post,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£I am now completely divested from the group.ŌĆØ

Cthulhux, i misread your post -.-'
Cthulhux, i misread your post -.-'
I noticed that.
Insane. What is it with people? We have Linux fanboys who just must troll in BSD subjects, and then we have BSD fanboys who just must troll in Linux subjects, and then we even have Windows fanboys here who really have no interest in either but who also come here trolling.
Yes, BSD does not have anything near the development Linux enjoys, that doesn't make Linux inherently 'better'. At the same time the slower BSD development is not indicative of better 'quality', it could just as likely be the obvious lack of developers.
As long as people are using BSD it's not irrelevant. When Linux first started out and probably a long time in it's existance I'm certain it had a lot less users than BSD have now. If the BSD's actually didn't fill a need then they would indeed be gone as no one would be using them, that is obviously not the case, not even remotely so.
Also the BSD's caters for a different open source philosophy than that of say FSF, and it's great we have this diversity no matter on which side of that fence you find yourself.
Unfortunately there are these zealots in each camp that can't accept the existance/success of the other which leads to these endlessly pointless flame wars, and instead of celebrating all these systems have in common they will make an issue out of any difference and proclaim this to be undisputable proof that _their_ choice is superior.
Yes, discussions regarding these differences are inevitable as they do define these systems to certain extents, and the pros/cons of these differences can actually be interesting basis for discussion, and when the stars align even enlightening. However for this to happen we really need to get rid of the goddamn trolling which derails any attempts at a reasonable discussion. This is a battle we are losing here at Phoronix, it's getting increasingly worse.
Actually, why don't you be honest.! Which had a better chance to become the "real" MacOSX ? - and u're right ! -It was NOT Linux, it was based on BSD, and NO, it wasn't just all about the BSD-License -lol.
And (Free)BSD, the original old Boss, is still around.
"....a better chance to become the next windows..." - wtf ?
You honestly want Linux to just become the next "Windows" ???!!! That's all we need, another clone of the "Unity Ballmer".
Comon', again - Nobody even wants Windows anymore, man.
Look, some like, or need to have the freedom to go to different Lakes, and rivers, (aka a different UNIX), and NOT just (stagnate)"distro-hop" in the same stench pond.
But hey, This is just a FreeBSD thread, and I'm sure there's lots of Linux threads elsewhere to roll around in.. so, (troll)Hop-along now.
Last edited by scjet; 12-11-2012 at 03:42 AM. Reason: typo
Unfortunately, FreeBSD has been delayed, for years now, ever since Apple snapped up over half of the BSD-development team to build their MacOSX for them.
