    This was a fantastic interview. Engaging, provocative, great questions and lots of information. Can you do another one on the same topic but with someone at Yale who went to a public school or even a day (private) school so we can hear about their experience going from living at home to being at college?

    I got into Yale early action for class of 2028 and I’m thinking of being an English major, so this was so fun to listen to! I also got selected for Directed Studies, so if you have any insight into the program I’d love to hear about it.
