Hi everyone, I am a Pre-K teacher in a large urban district in Connecticut. I teach 20 smart, kind, funny and loving 3-5 year olds. We are a title 1 school with limited resources. My students bring so much joy into our classroom! If you could consider donating an item off my classroom wishlist, it would mean the world to us. Thank you for reading this.

Because of the course slots I got, for 2 days of the week I’m only gonna be free for Breakfast and Dinner (11:35 - 3:25 back to back, so ~6 hours w/o meals if I grab 5pm dinner).
Is there a service I can use to pick up food ahead of time or to somehow get dining hall meals out of regular hours?
I don’t want to splurge on buying food everyday for a semester if I can help it. I’m a first-year if that helps my case at all
Hey, I have a few questions regarding how classics works at yale. I'm international and there is just so few information available on the internet that I really cant find anwsers for my main questions. So if you study classics there or have some knowledge about the faculty please, anwser my questions:
How often are you taught by grad students or non professors? I heard some tales about that, idk how much of they are just made up
how prepared are the people that go there? What is the profile of an admitted classics student?
Is there a sort of hierarchy between people who learnt latin/ancient greek before?
Is the coursework too much to do something like the EPE track but switch Ethics to Classics?
Thank you, anwsering will really help me!!

hi guys! incoming co30 here trying to decide whether to major in CS or Applied Math, except if I major in applied math I basically add one course and it becomes double major in CS so the choice becomes:
- CS Major: leaves a lot more room in my schedule to take the fun classes that I might want to take. like I won't die if I don't have the room to take them but boy would it be nice. slightly worried about the career prospects though, esp since I'm not really interested in selling my soul or doing quant (corporate wants you to find the difference between this picture and that picture- )
- Applied Math/CS major: more career prospects (and if you ask me I'm slightly very slightly more of a math person than a CS person) and more... safety? i guess in the job market. also applied math does sound interesting to me, I'd probably take probability and diffeq even without the major requirement. However, I mapped out the requirements for both majors and double majoring or even just majoring in applied math leaves me a lot less space for classes I want outside of my field.
And yes, I looked at the Math + CS option but it has roughly the same number of courses as AMTH and much less classes I wanna take, so that option's already out.
Thoughts? Advice? esp. from any CS majors going into industry it'd be nice to get a grasp on what the CS scene is like at Yale beyond quant
i just found out that i got a mattress pad instead of a topper. is the topper really worth it? i’m open to getting it if recommended
i’m an incoming freshman and after registering for classes today i realized one of my classes has finals on the last week. i have travel plans that same day that we booked months before (like, before i got into yale lol) and im a little stressed out. moving the tickets would be an expensive option to say the least. i do realize it’s our faults for booking flights without knowing my academic calendar but we thought the date was close enough to christmas for it to be safe.
i realize that travel plans are not a valid excuse as per the dean’s office, but has anyone had any luck asking the professor to take a rescheduled final? or is that not really common practice at yale? idk i was just wondering if anyone had any advice or if ill need to reschedule my travels.
prospective mcdb major & potentially pre-med! just want to make sure i’m not screwing myself over with anything overly difficult this semester esp given that i want to get settled and make friends, build a strong gpa esp if i choose to go premed, etc.
going in expecting chem 1700 to be particularly difficult based on course evals but hoping that intro bio and lin alg with applications help to balance out the difficulty level (for context i’ve gotten 5s on ap bio and chem!)
note: the “difficulty level” section includes my chem lab, but the “number of credits” section doesn’t, for some reason—it should be 4.5 credits.
any thoughts are welcome! thanks so much.
I want to make sure my schedule is light enough to where I can adjust to Yale’s academics. I also have a discussion section on Friday for microeconomics from 9:25-10:15am.
Hi! I'm an incoming freshman, and I was trying to register for ECE 2000. The syllabus on Canvas said that there was no enrollment cap, but when I registered the class shows that "enrollment has reached capacity set by department." Does anyone know what this means? Is there anything I can do about this? Thank you 😭
I really wanted to take Intro to Creative Writing this semester, but before registration even began all sections of the course had reached their capacity. I was wondering what steps I should take to maximize my chances of getting a spot in one of these sections. Also I was wondering how long it usually takes to know whether you managed to get into a fys.
Dumb question but I feel my aura would be minorly damaged and it would be weird if I were the only person with a scooter on campus (I am desperate to make it on time to my classes)
But I still have a question. I know I want to take a 1st year seminar. My preferred one requires instructor permission. But should I register for a non-instructor permission one on my list and wait to see if I get into the instructor permission seminar that is my favorite? If they see I already have a first year seminar on my schedule will they be less likely to take me? Or do professors not see that? The one I like asks whether another course conflicts but of course it won't conflict if I get into my preferred one. Thank you so much!
How doable is this schedule that I’ve planned out so far? I’m mainly worried about having bio and gen chem lab back to back on Wednesday since there would only be 10 minutes between the two classes, but I would also prefer not to schedule my chem lab on Friday.
Any advice/insight would be really appreciated!
Does Yale have an ironing board? How do students iron clothes (for like formal events and stuff)?
what are the easiest in campus job to get or do and does anyone recommend any off campus jobs ? trying to have a bit of work this upcoming fall semester
I'm in my first year, and my current registration plans are:
- Math 1200 (Multi)
- Span 1300
- Phys 2000
- Hums 0245 (Six Perspectives Seminar)
- Hums 0229 (Six Perspectives Lab)
Is this a doable schedule? I've heard that Span 1300 and Math 1200 can be particularly homework heavy, and I was wondering if I should delay my language to next semester.
Micro 1115 ends 15 minutes before my Spanish class, but the walk is exactly 15 minutes and Spanish has a strict attendance policy.
If I take Micro 1110 in the Spring will I combust instantly and wish I had taken it lecture style with Cormac?
Alternatively I could schedule a 9:30 am Spanish, but I'm worried I might end up late anyway / won't be fully awake because of my sleep schedule. Was readjusting sleep difficult for you guys?
So I’m getting contradictory information on what I can and can’t do with instructor permission classes in relation to the course limit.
My FROCO told me that instructors cannot approve you for a permission course if you already have a full schedule (ie: you registered for a schedule as if you didn’t get the course). They said since you would be at the credit limit, they can’t approve you since you can’t drop a course before the add drop period formally begins.
However I’ve seen some people say that you are able to drop another course if an instructor approved you for a course. Registration is in like two days so which one is accurate?
The instructor permission I’m interested in is a first year seminar so I was gonna try to sign up for everything and a back up seminar. Now, if I can’t do my full schedule I would still sign up for the back-up seminar but not register for one of the larger lecture courses I’m interested in, and hope I can get it in a good last class if I don’t get into the instructor permission one.
