The Compass
The Compass
This resource, The Compass, is a guide to life at Yale and in New Haven. It’s been compiled over the years by graduate students of the Graduate Student Assembly, and updated this summer to include the most relevant and recent information. We hope that it encourages your engagement in our community, and supports your success as scholars and as people. This includes information about using your health plan, advice on navigating the shuttle routes and traveling to and from New Haven, favorite bars and restaurants of our GSA reps, tax information, mentoring opportunities and beyond. In addition, for the first time, The Compass is a fully online resource, including active links to many of these resources. It is our hope that this will help you navigate your first few weeks here at Yale, and serve as a point you can return to throughout your time here.
Cross Campus
Cross Campus
is Yale’s new, online networking, community-building, and mentoring program. Cross Campus facilitates relationships between Yalies — whether that’s alumni to student or alumni to young alumni.
The FGLI at Yale Facebook group

While Yale can be hard and sometimes tricky to navigate, it’s also a place where you can most definitely grow, learn, and thrive. That’s what this is here to help you do. Here, you have a guide on how to get help from the financial aid office, get books for cheap or free, search for a job on campus, find and afford summer opportunities, build your credit, and more. It was put together by students who have been in your position because we know that it can be challenging to deal with certain questions and concerns, especially on your own.
The YBDIC is committed to fostering the intellectual and personal growth of underrepresented minority (URM) students in the BBS. Our central mission focuses on a four-pronged approach: engagement, empowerment, outreach, and advancement.
