How (Not) To Renew a City
December 31, 2021 | by Amelia Dilworth BR’23
The Pruitt-Igoe housing projects sink into the ground one broken window at a time, sections of buildings falling in waves like rows of wounded soldiers faltering to their knees before collapsing in the rubble. Smoke rises from the ground, the same color as the crumbling gray walls. Apartments lay in the rubble ripped open like carcasses. Half-exploded buildings kneel in the remains of their brothers, awaiting destruction.
This is St. Louis, Missouri. America is bombing its own city.
Looking Forward To Home
Feb 26, 2021 | By Se Ri Lee, MC ‘23+1
Over the past twentyish years of my life, I’ve had fifteenish rooms. The longest I’ve called a room home is a little under three years. I used to complain about it a lot as a kid. “Why do we have to move around so much?” I’d whine every time I had to store up my belongings in boxes.
An Eternal Home
Nov 23, 2020 | By Ashley Talton BR ‘23
Over the past two years, I have lived in three different places. I’m never really sure which to call my home anymore. One of them is the tiny town I grew up in, that I spent fifteen years in, and since March, I’ve been here again. Another is Durham, North Carolina, the city I lived in for my junior and senior years of high school as I attended the residential school, the North Carolina School of Science and Math. I loved living in Durham, and in those two short years, it became my home.

Finding Home and Unlimiting Love
By Jadan Anderson, MC ‘22. Jadan is majoring in Economics.
"Where is home for you?" was the most frequent question I was asked before leaving my first semester at Yale for winter break. Answering this question was supremely important to me, but was complicated.
Being Home When Home is Hard
By Daniel Chabeda, ES ‘22. Daniel is majoring in Chemistry.
Home is not always the Promised Land. Home can be a collection of new challenges for students to contend with: maintaining academic motivation, adjusting to a new work environment, and continuing social interactions with peers to name a few. Some challenges are even deeper–abusive parents, psychologically triggering scenes, loneliness–and can turn the intended place of solace into a land of sour milk and honey. For me, home has been an environment of family tension, emotional strain, and spiritual temptation, an environment where I was far from my family and God. In writing this article, I assume that many of you can relate.
