Throughout my life in New Haven, I have had
three impressions to Yale.
First, I was surprised by noticing how vast the
Yale University is. In Japan, the most universities, including my university,
consist of only some buildings. So, the estate is not so large. However, the
Yale University itself can be said to be one town.
Second, I noticed local people in New Haven are very kind to
foreigners. For a couple of days after this program started, I often lost my
way, but the local people helped me a lot every time I asked them for some
help. One time, to my surprise, a man took me and my friend to my destination. I
think we Japanese have to learn this culture for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
Third, I was surprised by how noisy it was at the night. New Haven
is an infamous city where many crimes are caused, so there is much noise, such
as a siren of a patrol car and an explosive sound. So it is difficult to sleep
opening the windows!! And my room has no air conditioner. This bothered me, but
now I succeeded in adapting myself to the new environment and enjoy living in
New Haven.
