Hello! Is the "ESTA" visa sufficient for the summer session?

No! You must get an F-1 student visa.

Lea

Thanx for the link!!! In the syllabi for one of my courses it says, that books are available in the Yale bookstore and on reserve in Bass library. Is it better to buy the books? Are there enough for every student? Is it good to buy them in advance?

Hannah Parten

9:49

Hi Lea. Most students do not buy their books in advance. You can call the Yale Bookstore in advance to make sure the book you need is in stock.
