Do most FSY students feel the summer classes, although condensed, are manageable and that they are equipped to succeed in them?

Emily Richards

4:46

Yes! We have lots of resources and one of the nice things about FSY is that you're focusing on just ENGL 114 and the QR course, and not necessarily on as many classes as you would be in the fall :)

How good is New Haven's drinking water? (Coming from a Lake Superior kid)

Neche Veyssal

The tap water is safe to drink; there's also stores that sell bottled water and you can bring a water filter if you prefer

Tyler King

4:47

Are our classes being taught similarly to how they would be taught if taken during the school year, or are they more interactive, have more or less assignments, etc?

Alejandra Trujillo-Elizalde

4:47

They'll be taught by professors that teach at Yale during the year, so probably similarly just condensed to fit the summer session time frame

John Choe

4:48

to add on to Alex, how many hours should we expect to spend on a daily basis on workload?

Emily Richards

4:48

This varies based on deadlines of assignments and how you choose to space your work out -- workload tends to increase before papers are due, but the number of hours will vary day-to-day and also student-to-student!
