Yes, you have access to the Payne Whitney gym.  We also have intramural sports every evening for students living on campus, and soccer is one of them!

You still should come to housing check-in to pick up your student ID card. If you are not able to come to that, please come to our office at 55 Whitney Avenue starting on Monday, July 3 to get your student ID card. If you have not already, please upload a picture for your student ID card!

Hi!  I am not sure what link you are trying, but you may use the Payne Whitney gym while you are here if you are living on campus.

The link is to the "US Customs and Border Protection, Admission into the United States". Perhaps if you google it, you can find it. I'm sorry the link is not working for you.

The link you sent is not working, it says access denied for the servers in Turkey. Can you send another link perhaps? Thank you!

All participants in the Law Seminar are practicing lawyers or in at least their third year of law school.
Jevon

I understood, from the website, that many participants in the Law Seminar are practicing lawyers in their home countries (I.e. college graduates) Is this correct? If so, what proportion?

You will get an email in the next few days that lets you pick when you will arrive, but that is just so we know when you are coming. You can arrive in the window of time!
Guest

hey will there be an email with detailed instructions about the housing check-in? I am worried whether there is a specific appointment time of checking in for each person as the check-in website only provides a range of time on July 2nd(does it mean arriving during the period would be already fine?)
Meg Palladino
11:57
Hello!  It is fine to arrive after check in at 7:30.  You can check in at Rosenfeld Hall.  We will send late check in instructions via email.
Guest
11:57
I will be arriving approximately at 7:30 on June 2nd is that too late?

Housing assignments are based on age and gender.

You need to make sure you travel with all of your documents that you need to enter the U.S. You can check https://www.cbp.gov/travel/international-visitors

As international students after we obtain our visa, is there any step we need to take after we arrive or before we fly?

For privacy reasons, we don't share contact information before arrival.
Guest

will we get a chance to get to know our roommates / dorm mates prior to arriving?
Meg Palladino
11:54
We will email this in the next few days.  We are finalizing classroom locations.

When will the Course Outline for the Law Seminar be made available?
AvatarKathy Trputec

You may not arrive two-three days late to summer session. The time schedule is very compressed and we do not allow for late arrivals. Please work with your school to determine if you can do what you need to do earlier so you can arrive to Yale on time and for the start of the session.

Thank you very much for your quick response. I believe you know that I am stuck in a dilemma now. On one hand, being an in-campus student is very essential for me, and I have already got the Student Visa several days ago; On the other hand, participating in the Chinese HuiKao is mandatory for almost all high school students in China. Now that the time conflict exists, is there any other way that I could take consideration for registering the Summer Session B for only two or three days later? Or, whether it is feasible for me to contact with my professors for approval?
Meg Palladino

Yes, YSS is primarily a program for undergraduate college students.
Guest
11:54
ohh? I am quite confused, the YSS have much more undergraduate than high school student?
