Yale University is a private Ivy League research university founded in 1701 in New Haven, Connecticut. It is one of the oldest institution of higher education in the United States. Yale's central campus occupies 260 acres in downtown New Haven. It includes the historic campus and a medical campus. The university athletic facilities are located in western New Haven on 500 acres, including the Yale Golf Course. Yale is known for its mostly Collegiate Gothic architecture, but it has several iconic modern buildings such as Louis Kahn's Yale University Art Gallery and Center for British Art. Yale has restored many important 19th-century mansions on Hillhouse Avenue, which Charles Dickens considered the most beautiful street in the United States.
