☆ I was accepted into my dream colleges: Duke, Columbia, and Yale. I flipped a coin to decide which one was right for me.

I was accepted into Duke, Columbia, and Yale, so I had to choose which one was right for me. Serious deliberation removed Columbia; it took a coin flip and following my gut to make up my mind. Being from a somewhat well-off family, I received substantial aid from Yale, Duke, and Columbia, but none offered me a full ride. Trust me, the coin flip worksI know it sounds stupid, but a coin flip is the best method for figuring out what school to go with if you've done everything you could but can't decide. You shouldn't follow through on what the coin flip says, but you should act like you will.

☆ I'm a student at Yale, and we party more than you'd think. Here's what parties at the Ivy League are like.

Read previewLike most Yale students, I'm swamped. Despite the Ivy League's reputation as one big ivory tower, Yale students still love to throw a good party. Yale isn't a huge party school, but we still have partiesWhen choosing a school, the party scene wasn't very high on my priority list. This wasn't a medieval cloister; it was just what you'd expect from any college despite the Ivy League status.

☆ I struggled to find my fashion sense as a Yale student. I eventually decided to put my own spin on the academia aesthetic.

The author dressed in his Yale look. My fellow Yale students became my inspirationWhen you think of Yale and fashion, the prep and Ivy League styles come to mind. There is no singular "Yale" look anymore. I've seen folks associated with FLY — Fashion Lifestyle at Yale, a new student-led fashion collective — create looks that belong on a runway day after day. While Yale has more than its fair share of fashion mavericks, the Ivy League style is still around.

Waiting for months to find out if I got into the college of my dreams was painful. But here's how I got through the waiting period with my sanity intact. AdvertisementI didn't try to avoid thinking about college or my applicationsIf I could have forced myself to stop thinking about my college applications, I would have. Eventually I got accepted into my dream school, Yale. With that mindset, the waiting period flew by, and I was able to enjoy those last few months of high school.

☆ I'm a freshman at Yale and just went to my first Harvard-Yale football game. The weekend was one of my favorites at college so far.

I attended the famous Harvard-Yale football game as a Yale freshman for the first time. I went tailgating, stripped in the stadium, and chanted as Yale won the game. The rival weekend is one of my favorite events of college so far. AdvertisementThe Harvard-Yale rivalry is unlike any other, and as a Yale student, I recently learned firsthand just how deep this rivalry went. The 139th iteration of The Game took place in November, and it was my first as a college freshman; the lead-up to the big game was also my first Harvard-Yale weekend.

☆ I worry I got into Yale only because I'm Black. I now do everything I can to prove I belong.

AdvertisementAdvertisementThis has been a bit of a secret, but when I applied to Yale, I chose to apply as an African American-studies major on a whim. Regardless, part of me thinks I got in because I'm Black and chose the smaller major of African American studies. I'm now working extra hard to prove I belong at Yale. The fact that I didn't get into Princeton made me think my Yale acceptance wasn't guaranteed. I could have edged out a more qualified candidate who was not a person of color because I'm Black.
