New Haven is a city with New England charm and a cosmopolitan energy. As Yale President Richard C. Levin, a thirty-year resident of New Haven, notes, this city is “large enough to be interesting, yet small enough to be friendly.” New Haven’s close partnership with Yale has proved beneficial to both institutions as well as to residents and visitors.
