Please register for our free Residential Life webinar to learn more.
YYGS Residential offers a rare opportunity for likeminded students from around the world to meet at Yale’s historic campus. Students spend two weeks living in college dormitories, eating at Yale dining halls, and learning in an environment that encourages student collaboration and diverse, global perspectives.
We are excited to announce that Summer 2026 YYGS will be hosted at Benjamin Franklin College and Pauli Murray College, two of Yale’s newest residential colleges.
Students will enjoy access to a wide range of on-site amenities, including laundry rooms, butteries, music practice rooms, large courtyards, a prayer room, and libraries ideal for both studying and collaboration. Each student room is furnished with a twin XL bed, desk, chair, and wardrobe or closet, and throughout each residential area are shared communal bathrooms.
YYGS housing is assigned by gender identity, and we are proud to offer three housing options to support student comfort and inclusion: male, female, and gender-inclusive housing.
