No complaints here, essentially. The student body is very diverse, with people from all walks of life and races and perspectives. There are a bunch of people I find boring but for the most part they seem to get along with each other, so that's great for them. That said, this leads me to a different point: there is an element of cliquiness among the students, with athletes (even single sports teams) only hanging out with each other, science kids only hanging out with each other, hipsters only hanging out with each other, etc... I think this is natural, and when people from different groups are forced to interact, as in freshman year housing and some extracurriculars, there are rarely problems. Oh, and there are a ton of the gays. Yale loves gays.

Classmates are friendly, helpful, and usually smarter and more successful than me.
