High school students in California may wonder what all the fuss is about, when it comes to going "back East" to college. Yale is serious about attracting the best and the brightest students it can find. To help explain the Yale experience to potential applicants, we asked our members to write an article on the topic "What I got out of going to Yale." The results are collected here, and serve as a testament to the Yale experience, for the benefit of both Yale grads, and Yale applicants. The Yale Club of Santa Barbara sincerely appreciates the people who took the time to share their stories with us.
