Yale


Yale is a nice little university. Many of the undergrad students are very busy. Americans pretend to work more than Europeans. Maybe they do. I have a Russian friend who thinks that Europeans are more effective when they work, and therefore have more spare time. I think they just have more spare time because they want.

Yale has a nice campus. It is almost hundred years old. That's a lot here. My apartment in Copenhagen is older, but I don't want to tell them that. Most of the Yalies are involved in some kind of extracurriculum, such as an organization. It is a good way to meet people and create networks. In Denmark, we don't do that because it is illegal to think that you can manage an organization (The Jante Law). Here, people put such stuff on their CV. Needless to say, American CVs become very long very fast.

Yale's campus is nice. Some think it is the only nice part of New Haven.
