Nearly a quarter of Yale’s students enrolled in a Psychology course on happiness, making it the most popular class in the institution’s 316-year history. It may not be a coincidence that a 2013 report from the Yale College Council found that over half of their undergraduate students had sought mental health care at some point in their college careers.
