Hello Friendly Community!

I recently was accepted to Yale College for undergraduate, and I was wondering what people's impressions of it were, either anecdotally or personal experience? I am particularly wondering about quality of teaching, I have heard horror stories about teachers not speaking English (although I hear this is a common trend amongst all universities) and related stories.

Thanks for your help!

I haven't heard of anyone having problems at Yale. There's a reason it's so highly ranked. The resources available to undergrads are very impressive. Have you toured the campus? You can't go wrong going there. Congrats on the acceptance.
