Yale is located on the Connecticut shoreline, in a vibrant city full of charm, creativity, and character. Its pretty downtown area near campus is perfect for exploring on foot, with colourful street art, quirky independent shops, and some of the best pizza in the United States. The blend of historic architecture and a laid-back vibe gives the city a welcoming feel, while its green spaces - like the beautiful Cross Campus - offer places to relax and take it all in.
New Haven also has a thriving creative scene and there's always something to discover. Just a short distance from the centre, the coastline has walks, beaches, and chances to learn about local marine life. It’s a city where learning and leisure go hand in hand, making it a great place to spend the summer.
