The Wade quadruplets of Liberty Township, Ohio, are making college a family affair. Nick, Aaron, Nigel and Zach decided to attend Yale University starting in fall 2017 after receiving offers last spring from a combined 59 colleges, including Yale and Harvard. The college-bound teenagers participated in a pre-orientation program called Cultural Connections, aimed at minority students on Aug. 19 and registration begins on Aug. 25.

The brothers said they decided on Yale University at the last minute after being swayed by the university's generous financial aid package. The family didn't receive an entirely free ride but the brothers and their parents will contribute to their education over the next few years.

"We may still be eating ramen noodles for the next four years," Kim Wade said to NBC News. "But Yale was the right decision." Kim recalled that they felt a sense of community when they visited Yale which also contributed to her sons' decision to attend the Ivy League university.

Summer 2017 saw the four brothers preparing for college life away from their parents Kim and Darrin Wade. Zach and Nigel worked part-time jobs while living at home in Ohio. Aaron spent the first half of his summer working a part-time job and hanging out with friends before interning at Zeta Global, a technology company in New York City. NIck spent the month of June at Columbia University preparing a group of students for a summer immersion program in Morocco before interning at the nonprofit, Future Project.

The brothers' college majors range from neuroscience to chemical engineering, and they've all been placed in different residential housing which will allow them to branch out and make a different group of friends. However, they're mom is very happy that they're together and can be there to support each other when needed.
