If you don’t want to be surrounded by undergrads, East Rock is the place to look (especially for lower cost options; great for dogs). There are lots of great restaurants and bars in that neighborhood as well. East Rock Brewery is one of my favorites. In terms of music and events, Yale has a lot of stuff going on - the Yale Rep, for example - but College St Music Hall also has a lot of artists come through (Toads is filled with undergrads). I love the Yale University Art Gallery and British Art Gallery. I’m not super familiar with the queer scene, but I think it’s pretty active (not sure if Partners is still open…)

Out of curiosity—how does one find the lower cost options in East rock? I’m also going to be new to the city (moving in Feb), and would absolutely love to live there, but even with a roommate everything is prohibitively expensive right now. On Facebook, Craigslist, Zillow, Trulia, the Yale housing site, anything half decent is over $1300 per room. Agh!

Yeah that's what I thought, East Rock is by no means a low-cost option.

Wait till you eventually move to NYC you'll wish it was 1300. Like most yalies you do your time in NH like jail or jale as I call it update your resume then move to NY. It's an age old tradition
