Yale gradually turns from an unfamiliar
word on a map to a real-life paradise during my first few days here. I'm attracted by its magnificent buildings, diverse activities and warmhearted
teachers.

Cute Squirrels on the Lawn |
To begin with, the Gothic architecture exerts a peculiar fascination on me. A huge fan of Harry Potter as I am, I can always
imagine I’m studying magic in Hogwarts with such medieval buildings surrounding me. The spires
are reaching into the sky, the walls are just like those of ancient castles and the sculptures on the buildings are aesthetic. The
dining hall, especially, is almost the same as that in Harry Potter with large
flags of residential college hanging on the wall and long tables in traditional style. I always conceive of having a hearty meal with Harry, Ron, and Hermione in this Harry-Potter-like dining hall. Squirrels
are playing hide-and-seek in the tall tree like elves and the ring of the bell in
the evening enhances the air of mystery.
