A world-class college like Yale University undoubtedly has a beautiful campus. Obviously, the halls and dorms often feature stunningly-designed architecture, but one major benefit of college towns is all of the added draws for the local community. Along with colleges come top-tier theaters, museums, libraries, and other cultural attractions that are often open to the public as well as university faculty and staff. Yale University has several wonderful facilities, such as the Yale Center for British Art. You can also find a few of the best libraries in Connecticut here. One of the most beautiful is the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library. This place is incredible. Check it out:

The Historical Library section is one of the older areas of the building. It’s absolutely magnificent and houses tons of rare artifacts and manuscripts, including works from Hippocrates.
