Yale University Reviews in New Haven, CT Area

I worked at Yale University as an intern for more than a year

Pros – The labs are clean and newly updated, a lot of the other buildings are not. The wide variety of researchers at the University makes it easy to find information when needed. The ease of access to journals and other materials is outstanding.

Cons – New Haven was not my favorite city to live or work in. Depending on the laboratory, the work environment was sometimes less than optimal.
