"I hate how books about the Rust Belt and small towns always have a character who "escaped" by going to Yale or something. Always shows how out of touch the authors are. It's such an annoying trope to me and it always happens."
"There's no such thing as the truth anymore. Clear as day on video, this bitch did not get stabbed. Point this out, and you'll get called an antisemite. Everyone's just rolling with this story that didn't happen, saying lawsuits and arrests and expulsions need to happen."
"So the mom made this meeting with me telling me that I need to pressure the girl to go to the more relaxed high school so she can be valedictorian and get into Yale.

"Everyone is talking about the MSSOM but... is this like one of those events where one of the campus groups invites an edgy identity politics person to stir up controversy?"
Why is Dasha talking at Yale? · u/[deleted] · ↑255 · 2023-02-07
"Like, no, I'm not going to Yale for my PhD because I aced all of my watery literature courses at a state school and had a "funded" research project as an undergrad that was essentially me just copying and pasting my PI's excel sheet layout."
It's over girlies, I'm taking the teacher pill. · ozzy_sauce · ↑248 · 2024-05-30

"People like RBG have more in common with people like Kavanaugh than with us, wealthy and from either Yale or Harvard."
I think making fun of RBG's death is fun and all but... · u/alexandrawallace69 · ↑101 · 2020-09-20

"drove a somewhat embarrassing distance with my bf. He got a pic with Dasha and MSSOM was coincidentally in the background lol. It was fun listening to dasha but the (many) other student speakers were pretty unremarkable."

"If I disappeared tomorrow no one outside of my parents and small circle of friends would care. My boss would just hire another PMC striver out of Yale to replace me."

"And it's funny that the Yale philosophy department was depicted as continental and not analytic. I guess nobody wants to watch a film about the personal lives of analytic philosophers."
