"Before I came to Yale University, some described New Haven in less than flattering terms, but I have never felt threatened or unsafe in New Haven and I am often out late. Because of the perception problem Yale faces, the University and the City have gone to great measures to make us feel safe such as installing blue phones!”

Eleanor Weichaus Princeton, NJ
