NEWS FLASH: There are a lot of you.

Hey! YDS got a big mention in this Fox News article. Check out Harry Attridge hatin’ on the financial sector (“gross immorality”? Oh, snap!) and two of your fellow incoming students sharing their reasons for heading to Div School this fall.

As the Attridge quote mentions, we're welcoming about 10% more students into this year's class. That might mean sitting closer to your neighbor in lectures, waiting a few more minutes for a sandwich at the refectory, or having to take someone out over the last slice of pizza at community dinner. (We hope it doesn't come to that, of course, but pizza is pizza.) This year will take a little extra patience from new and returning students alike to make sure that everyone feels welcomed and no one's toes get stepped on.

All kidding aside, it’s a shame that some of you are headed back to school as a result of the economic downturn. Yale University feels your pain, too. Still, not matter what brought you to YDS this fall, we’re thrilled to have you and look forward to helping you adjust to life at YDS.
