Yale University and New Haven
The central Yale campus in downtown New Haven is a short walk from the medical school.
The School of Medicine is located immediately adjacent to the main campus of Yale University, one of the world’s great institutions of higher learning. With a residential college system modeled after those of Cambridge and Oxford, the undergraduate school is complemented by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences; and 12 professional schools, including Architecture, Art, Divinity, Drama, Engineering and Applied Science, Forestry and Environmental Studies, Law, Management, Music, Nursing, and Medicine which includes the School of Public Health. In 2007, Yale acquired the 136-acre former Bayer Healthcare campus in West Haven, which contains 460,000 square feet of lab space.
Established in 1638, New Haven was the first planned municipality in America, organized geographically in nine squares, including a picturesque Green. Today, New Haven is a vibrant coastal city located on Long Island Sound between New York and Boston. Cultural opportunities abound, from dance, theater and music to the treasures of Yale’s art and natural history museums.
