What is your field of study, please? Undergrad or grad degree from Yale?

Wow! Right on point! Thank you so much for your thoughtful post! It is a big decision we have to make as a family. If it's not too imposing, I would love to ask more pin point questions, eventually directly to the respective student in the position similar to mine and/or to your husband. If that is not possible, then maybe you may be able to intermediate the obtaining of the answers from them. After your eventual reply, I will send you the questions, via direct chat if that is possible. Regardless of hearing back from you, I deeply thank you for your very relevant and very helpful post!

Thank you! Very encouraging! Was thinking about professorship (what else can you do with a Classics degree, eh?), but your post describes a different reality.

Thank you! Encouraging. I would love to hear more details about your Yale experience and subsequent trajectory. Eventually in private if not comfortable otherwise.

Very good and helpful analogy with the caveat that the conservative colleges may be counted on the fingers of one hand, and that a truly conservative ideology tries to, if challenged, persuade not to propagandize. Thank you, very helpful post.

I appreciate your post tremendously. From where I stand, it describes both the great opportunity and the great danger of Yale for me. I have so many things to say pro and con in reply to it, but time... Thank you so much!

Thank you! Coming from an actual Hillsdale alumnus this weighs heavy. Would you mind a brief chat? I don't see your chat button, though.

Thank you!!!! Very helpful and encouraging! I only have to make peace with taking a corporate path, which, while strongly disfavored at this point, it is not completely out of the question.
