The Saybrook Blog

Welcome to the Saybrook Blog’s guide on How to Navigate Freshman Year at Yale.

On the page below you’ll find a series of freshmen advice articles written to help Saybrook freshmen through their first year at Yale. Finding WLH on a map and figuring out what classes to shop when there are hundreds to choose from can be difficult, if not impossible as a freshman (WLH isn’t even on the map). This series intends to guide you along and tell you all the do’s and don’t of freshman year.

We here at the Saybrook Blog were all once freshmen too and we would love to prevent you from making the same mistakes we did. In the coming days, we will be updating this list daily, so make sure to keep checking back for more articles.

Best of luck Saybrook freshmen!
