A number of us (Thomas Woodside, Matt Burtell, Miriam Huerta, and Nat Irwin) have been living together in New Haven, Connecticut, for the past few months.
As a result of the upcoming December graduation of two of our group members, we have two open spaces in our 6-person house next semester (January-July, 2022). Since this is an abnormal time for students to move off campus, we thought we would open up the search to students and early-career professionals at other universities. We think this would be a great opportunity for people who are uncertain about their current living situations or are especially interested in helping us with Yale EA.
Current students on leaves of absence: If you are a student on a leave of absence working remotely, this could be a great opportunity for you! It's a chance for you to meet Yale EA members and hang out with other students.
Recently graduated students between jobs: If you've recently graduated, but don't have a job yet, this is a relatively low-cost place to live compared with other US cities (rent is $637.50/month).
Early-career professionals with remote jobs: We have observed that especially at schools outside of Oxford/Cambridge/Bay Area, there is often not much connection between EA professionals and students. We think that these connections can really matter for increasing students' enthusiasm and potential for impact, and you could help us achieve that.
We are clean, conscientious, and reliable. That being said, we are college students, and our social sphere consists of college students, and if you'd prefer a different social scene, you probably shouldn't live here. Lastly, New Haven is a small city, and there isn't all that much to do outside of Yale, so if you want a city that never sleeps, the house probably isn't for you.
Living in New Haven might let you do community-building at Yale. We think this is an especially promising opportunity, as Yale is one of the most developed university groups and we are currently growing rapidly. If you have skills or knowledge relevant to community building, like cause-area specific expertise, community building experience, or anything else that you think would be useful, we especially would love for you to live here. Though you would not be required to participate in community building, we would love for you to share your experiences and help high-potential Yale students maximize their impact.
You can find more about the house here, and register your interest here. We will reach out if we think you would be a good fit.
