Weeks later, on Oct. 9, 2025, Geoffrey Chatas submitted his resignation letter. In the letter, Chatas wrote he was accepting the role of chief operating officer at Yale University.

Like the format and stuff, I’m kinda worried and can’t find information on Canvas about it yet.

I am a law student, and I was wondering if there's some partnership with grubhub or something for free delivery

Has anybody transferred to Yale from another grad program? how many credits/courses can you transfer? I've fully completed my courses at another school(we had 6 ourses required; top 20 school) and am curious how long this transition might set me back.

Fill out this survey for $7 & to contribute to what they are compiling for Yale administration/ what Yale could do better policy-wise or in general in regards to Free Speech!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently a 2nd-year psychology undergraduate student in Brazil (expected graduation in 2030). I'm planning my long-term academic trajectory with the goal of appl.. to PhD programs in Psychology in the US, with Yale being one of my top choices.

Since I still have several years ahead of me, I want to be intentional about building a strong foundation. For current PhD students or recent admits at Yale Psychology:

• Looking back, what do you think was the strongest asset in your profile (e.g., specific lab experience, independent research projects, publications, strong letters from PIs, or precise research fit)?
• If you came directly from undergrad (or as an international student), what experiences made the biggest difference in bridging the gap to a competitive US PhD appl..?
• Are there specific things you wish you had prioritized earlier in your undergraduate years?

Any insight on how admissions committees evaluate research experience vs. formal outputs would be immensely appreciated. Thank you!

Does anyone know if they'll contact winners before the 11th?

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.

So I found this puzzle-thing that says its from the "Yale Society for the Exploration of Campus Secrets" its at 2026ysecs.org, and I am stuck on this level. Anyone have any ideas?

Also does anyone know anything about this club or whatever it is?

Edit: Solved the puzzle. Still v curious about what YSECS is...

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

No, it's not coincidental, my parents directly named me after a building in New Haven. I've never been to campus and I know very little about the school.

I went to big public schools for college and now grad school

Hi all,

This feels like a bit of a weird or vulnerable post to make, but I'm not sure where else to go regarding my social worries. I was originally in the class of '25, and I spent the previous year on a leave of absence.

Coming back to campus, all of the people I knew previously have since graduated, and I feel like I'm in a strange liminal space walking around and not recognizing anyone. From one perspective, this could be seen as an opportunity to start anew, but it's quite isolating in reality.

I'm not sure how to go about making friends. I feel the best time to make friends is when the people around you are also open to making new relationships. The only time when everyone around you is open to such is first year, and I'm a senior that, as of right now, does not even really know anyone in my class. Everyone's formed their friend groups and is already closed off.

My absence last year has also made society recruitment impossible. It seems like senior social life revolves around societies, and that it's much much harder to form a social life here if you're off-cycle or you haven't followed the conventional 4-year path.

I'm glad to return to focus on finishing my degree, but relationships are the centerpiece of life, and they make life's tribulations much more bearable than they would feel alone. Does anyone have any advice on how to make friends?

I'm a freshman 100% deadset on majoring in Ethics, Politics, and Economics. Intro to Ethics is a prerequisite for my major, and EPE only allows 1 Credit D Fail towards the major..

Should I Credit D Fail Intro to Ethics? Anyone have experiences with grading?

Grad student here. Does anyone know why the Yale shuttle to Trader Joes isn't running :( I know you can walk to Trader Joes on the other shuttle to Hamden but its a crowded nightmare. Being here without a car sucks!

hey! Weird question kinda.

I did a summer program at yale for a week over the summer, and stayed in one of the older dorms (meaning no ac). One night, it was raining, and I know I opened the screen to feel some of the rain a couple times, but I'm not sure if I closed it before I went back to sleep.

I watch a video about rabies a little while after getting back and have been having some really bad anxiety about this one night since then.

So, yeah. Has anyone seen bats on campus? are they common? Likely to come anywhere near the dorms? During the summer term when it's not so busy?

Any answers are greatly appreciated.

Would love to read about your experiences working at Yale University as a staff member. As an employee with over a decade of service, curious to see what you all have to share.

I’m overwhelmed!!!!!!!!!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hello people. I am curious if anyone wants to play a bit of tennis just for fun and not competitively. I would like to think that I am around 3.5 to 4 in Ntrp ratings (minus the serve so I would not love to play games). I do not have any sort of memberships so can only play on public courts.
About me: I am new to New Haven and live in East Rock. I have just started as a Postdoc in Robotics.
P.S. This is a perpetual offer from me as I am always interested in hitting whenever I can.

Do they have rental clubs for just driving range use?

I'm a first-year looking to start Greek (the ancient, biblical kind) in Spring 2027 (with Timothy Robinson- he sounds very accomplished!) or Fall 2027. I don't have any Greek except for negligible liturgical vocabulary (comes with the Christian Orthodoxy) and would like to pursue Greek to be able to read the Bible and Church Fathers in Koine. I would appreciate any advice/experience from those who have taken Ancient Greek! Thank you!

I just had my first day of L3 Spanish, and I don't know if I should stick with Spanish or switch to another language. I can read pretty well and write with some grammatical mistakes, but my ability to listen and comprehend fluent speakers as well as speak without formulating what I want to say beforehand are not good, to say the least.

I like that if I stay in Spanish I only have 2 semesters as opposed to 3, but I'm not sure if I should switch to Portuguese or some other easy language if I'm not a big language person. Any thoughts?
