I think being able to find a community outside of Yale is important and also a general diversity and Asian American community

Both areas are pretty diverse and great people to meet. You’re also a <2 hour train ride to NYC from NHV.

I’d honestly be less concerned about the social aspect and more career. If either is better for career, go there.

I’d rather live in NHV because the winters are easier, there’s more outdoors options nearby, and I prefer New England. But otherwise, I don’t have any other strong reasons. They both can be great.

I've lived in New Haven since the '80s and I would bet the Yale Asian community is quite diverse and vibrant in and of itself. Large population of foreign born as well as US citizens.
