What is life like in New Haven?
New Haven is an urban environment with an unusually rich concentration of cultural life due to the presence of the university. It has a wide variety of ethnic restaurants, is close to a number of public beaches and state parks, and is an easy train-ride away from the excitement of New York City. The summers are moderate due to the proximity of Long Island Sound, the winters long and cold, but the fall and spring are glorious. Student housing is abundant (both on and off-campus), and the city has the distinctive feel of being a “college town” with a New England flavor.
