should I bring some binders for handouts in the classes? Or just notebooks?

Emily Richards

4:19

We'll have a trip to Target in the first week and live right next to the bookstore, so you'll have an opportunity to buy school supplies once you arrive!

Esther

Hi! My question is how soon will we go on the first trip, and which one will it be?

Zip-lining and beach (bring swim attire/towels if you want) on Saturday 6/29

Chloe

Generally speaking, what do most people enjoy most at FSY (event-wise)

Neche Veyssal

4:19

A lot of people like the field trips during the program, and during the year students most often talk about the community they have built during the program

Matthew Davidson

4:20

Will we do most things as one large group or are we more often split up?

Yale Summer Session

4:20

We will do many things as a big group, but other events and workshops will be in smaller groups. Courses will also be held in smaller groups.

Does the gym offer dance/yoga/group classes during the summer that are open to FSY students?

Neche Veyssal

4:21

All FSYers have gym access, but you will have to pay on your own for an organized class. We don't recommend signing up for a gym class during the summer.

Corey Dunn

4:21

Will we be able to talk to professors outside of our classes if they're there during the summer?

Alejandra Trujillo-Elizalde

4:21

Yes, you can reach out to professors and possibly meet with them if they're around for the summer

Chloe

4:21

Can we hope to see Handsome Dan, or any dogs at all?

There are lots of dogs on campus! I actively search for corgis if anyone was curious
