college town

With Yale at its center, New Haven, Connecticut is a vibrant college town. Yale's Old Campus is located in the heart of the "Elm City" and is surrounded by tree-lined streets and many boutiques and restaurants. At Explo, you'll have a chance to explore the shops along Chapel Street and the York Square area. In addition, New Haven's central location between New York City and Boston allows us to offer you trips to explore all the best of the Northeast. As the cultural capital of Connecticut, New Haven makes a great setting for the Senior Program, combining the richness of a small city with the comforts of a college town.
