I'm currently a rising junior at the university of south carolina. I just wanted to put it out there (especially to incoming freshmen) to ALWAYS ask "what's my name" before getting into an uber. A girl at my school (Samantha Josephson) was murdered after getting into a vehicle she thought was her uber and I would hate to see this happen to anyone else :( I know my school will be making people aware of this at orientation but I hope other universities will do the same.
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! Yes yes yes. This is important. I’m so sorry for your loss but thank you for sharing this story and spreading awareness about this!
I once went into a uber with my mom who was on the phone at the time... I am a very attentive teenager so i always look at their phone GPS. I notice that we were going the wrong way and the voice controls were off. I had pretended like i was taking a video for Instagram but i was actually texting my dad to track my location. He did and had began to try and follow the car. We ended up stopping at a draw bridge and my dad knocked on the window and got us out of that possibly dangerous situation.
I’m so sad my orientation has to be online because of the virus. I’ve been so looking forward to it, but thankfully welcome week will be like a mini orientation as well.
I'm taking 2 online College summer courses and I rented both of my books for about $20 each off of Chegg. There's another one called thriftbooks that's supposed to be good I haven't used them though.
That’s awesome! I took 2 years of ASL in high school (I am hearing), and I’m continuing to take it in college in the fall. I love when deaf customers come in to work (I work at a fast food restaurant) because I can tell how surprised they are when I start signing with them. Good luck at Gallaudet :)
Shoutout to the rising freshmen doing online orientation this coming fall 🤪😭 but really your videos are sooooo helpful. I found your channel this morning and have just binged videos all day. I’m not going to OSU (Georgia Tech ‘24 Go Jackets!!!) but I feel like all your advice is super universal😁
watching college videos like this usually just makes me even more anxious to start college (im worried about getting homesick and that i wont be able to mentally handle the workload and being away from home) but this video was really great!!!! thanks
The classes for my major only had very early classes along with late ones. One class required for everyone is a workshop type class that starts at 7:30 am and I want to cry
Another good place to buy textbooks is from your classmates. For my one class I bought 5 textbooks from him ( all for the same class) for $40. So he saved me loads. Definalty check with others around you to see if you can get a better deal.
I’m actually a Junior at Bellarmime Univeristy. Watching this because I’m on the orientation team and want to see if we can improve our program. Btw love your personality you got a new subscriber from me!
Awww I love that!!! That’s such a great idea to improve your program. I wish OSU would watch my videos and make some changes hahahah. But thanks girl 💖💖
Omg I did a college visit to my school maybe 5 months ago and the girl used that "It's big but it's a small campus" bit ahaha and I believed her until now ahah
The “15 minutes across campus” thing is so, so true! I’m going to the University of Oregon for Music Education and I’m part of the Performing Artists Collective, so I get to live in a dorm building with all of the other music students. Fun, right? Wrong! The music dorm is diagonally across campus from the music school. All the way across campus. The only things farther away from the music school are Autzen Stadium and Matthew Knight Arena. Online, it’ll say something like “it’s only 15 minutes across campus!” Wrong again! I walked from Hamilton (the music dorm) to the music school one day and it took me 30 minutes (and I’m a fast walker). Albeit, this was before I was admitted and before I knew all of the paths around campus. I’m sure there’s a better way to get there. Now, I have nothing against UO, I love it. But let’s be reasonable. The campus is not that small.
is the music ed major hard? what classes are you taking? is your schedule packed? whats the homework like? im going to st olaf college in the fall for music ed and i was wondering what its like!!
@@meredithwallace4043 Honestly, it's a blast. Especially the ensembles. Typically, you take music theory, aural skills (ear training), piano, a studio class for your instrument, and an ensemble. That's in your first year, at least. I actually really liked music theory and piano, but aural skills was, in my opinion, torture. You may like it, though! You're schedule will be PACKED. Most classes have credits relative to the amount of work required. Like, 12 credits required 40 hours of work a week. Music classes are not like that. A 12 credit schedule will require more like 60 hours of work a week, or more. Plus your practice time. Pianists are required to practice 8 hours a day here. If you can, though, I highly suggest doing marching band. It'll help keep you sane while you juggle ten 1 credit classes. It'll really be worth it. Overall, it's not terrible as long as you have friends and you find things you enjoy. It's a lot of work, but very worth it. Good luck!
My biggest tip for anyone still in high school is don’t knock community college! If your GPA isn’t good enough to get you to a quality school, you still want to live at home, or you’re unsure what direction you want to take, it’s a great path. It’s less of a financial burden if you decide to change your major, and for me it was a great transition from high school. I had a really average/poor GPA in high school and now I have my Associates degree with Honors and got accepted to my dream university for my major. All my roommates on campus are transfer students like me, and I got to have more options for housing since I’m not required to have a freshman dorm. I definitely don’t think community college gets enough publicity for being an option after high school, but it can provide you with so much while still letting you transfer and get the college experience if that’s what you want.
I can't wait to live off campus with my boyfriend so I don't have to deal with communal showers and not having personal space. Some people can deal with that, but as someone who has a lot of social anxiety I just can't. so I am incredibly excited to have my own apartment(:
i don’t go to college for another 4 years but i still watch all of these “things i wish i knew before going to college” just bc i don’t want to be that freshman at college
im going to be a freshman at the university of texas at arlington and i got back from my orientation a few days ago!! this video was so informative and useful. thank you!!!!
I’m going to be a senior at Randolph College in VA. The points you made were so accurate. Especially about doing what you wanna do and making the most out of your time. I also liked that you mentioned safety and how colleges downplay their statistics. I try to tell my friends that aren’t from around my college all the time that the area right off campus isn’t as safe as the college would lead you to believe especially for women.
A ton of people choose to skip orientation or simply can't make it, I promise you aren't the only one :) If you have questions that you think you might've missed out on getting answers to, you should definitely email your adviser or see if your school has a social app for students. nobody ever told me about our app and it's definitely helped with making mutuals (even though its only on the app LOL)
I’m a little late but Wayne state university in Michigan ❤️ I’m technically a 4th year student but considered a sophomore because I’ve transferred 2 times now, changed my major and had a child, lol I’ll finish school one day
About shaving: invest in Nair. Just slather that on and it'll last longer. Armpits are easier to shave in the shower in college so you don't have to worry about that lol.
My orientation is literally in a few hours 😂😭 I’m just up watching youtube vids to prepare, but my ass is gonna be tired. Thank you for helping out this freshman at 1:54 a.m. 😭
I am currently a high school senior and will start college in fall 2021, and sis, I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH for all the information you shared in this video!! It was so helpful and really made me realize what I was going to be putting my self into. You just got yourself a new subscriber, love your content :))
I found out that incoming orientation was costing me over a $100 so I complained. Found out in the student handbook (with tiny print) that you could do online orientation for $75. So that means I was being charged an extra $25 for college food and t-shirts. Save money people and look into these things!
I'm an upcoming freshman at the University of Southern Mississippi, and my freshman year will have the highest number of incoming students in the university's history. I'm very nervous about making friends even though there are thousands of students. I'm even more nervous about grades because I will lose all financial help if I have below a 3.0.
I love going to osu because its such a big school!!! You’ll have no problem making friends!!! I hope you have fun!!! Just prioritize and time manage well, always get school work done first before hanging out with friends!! I’m sure you can do it!! 💖
This is a really great video with awesome advice! My freshman year of undergrad was really difficult for me and I felt very isolated and lonely...so I really appreciate you mentioning that aspect of becoming a college student! But you will get through it! I did, I'm in graduate school now, and I couldn't be more excited! Never give up on your dreams and passions!
Ok, yes an 8am class does suck... but try taking a 7am class, that sucks even more, especially if you live off campus 25 minutes away... I agree no matter what don’t take an 8 or 7am class, you may think you are a morning person, but that is a whole new level. DONT DO IT! (I am college junior as of this year). I freakin love your videos!!!! Keep up the wonderful work!!!
i’m going to washington state and i’m super excited. our orientation was pretty good but this was super helpful. nervous but mostly just an excited nervous
I’m going to Southern Oregon University this fall (hopefully they let us on campus despite corona 🤞) and I’ve been watching a lot of college preparation videos and yours are probably the best! I’m actually learning a lot of stuff I wasn’t aware of before, kinda getting nervous but I’m also really excited now too.
Hey! I would love to see a video for incoming HS seniors where you talk about the college app process, essays, etc. For your Q&A: What are some fun things to do in Columbus for college kids? Have you ever felt unsafe on OSU’s campus? How do you deal with walking around such a big campus during the winter?
I’m going to university of Redlands ! I’m excited but I’m so nervous for orientation it’s five days long, and like 13+ hours everyday and I don’t know people and I’m shy ! Ahhh I hope It goes okay
here as a junior in high school, oddly enough i’m excited for college because of the independence but also really scared 😭 hopefully my college experience won’t be ruined like the covid situation
Totally not someone who has followed you for over two years on social media finally going to college this fall at Morehead state university. My tour guide was surprised with what I knew about campus and the type of questions I asked. Thank you for all of your tips
finally some useful advice!!! i am headed to Colorado State University this fall and i am so excited but so nervous. i was always a great student in high school but i’m scared that will change since college is so different, i don’t know how i will adapt!
OhioState. I'm currently in the middle of orientation (one day left) they do make you feel at home, especially the peer leaders. They kinda touched on what it takes to have good grades but it was all typical stuff you hear everywhere
I'm going to be a freshmen at Texas Tech University and just want to say your videos are life saver! IT's everything that I wanted/need to hear before moving into college!
@@sydneyford6248 I personally love it! It's a really pretty campus and their pre-med department is amazing! There's so many clubs and organizations and the town is a little smaller coming from someone in a big city but I still highly recommend it!
I’m late but this video has shed light recently accepted my spot at a college in a whole different state and am now getting anxiety about 🥴 starting in the next couple of months but this like is now giving me some sort of idea of what to expect tyyyy
I am an incoming freshman at Black Hills State University in Spearfish, SD. I'm so excited about college. I have been binge-ing college videos to prepare myself.
tip: Even if you forget to study, DO NOT pull an allnighter the night before exam. It won't help you and it would be better to study late- and sleep some. However, feel free to pull on one on another night.
The Changing major thing is something your only going to do if you’re not passionate about anything. I’m a sound engineering major so I work with a lot of the film majors, music industry majors, music majors, and I can say that all the people passionate about their craft DO NOT change majors. As for people going for nursing, or early edu, psychology on the other hand, those seem to be the majors where most people who just sorta threw themselves into college with no passion end up.
being dead set on something and having a passion for it, doesn't mean you won't find new passions or new interests while in college and switch things around. All in all, I was just saying that changing your major is NORMAL and not to feel bad about doing so because SO many people do it and everything will work out in the end :)
Marissa Nicole oh yeah totally, I’m not saying that there’s anything wrong with it, I just find that any type of art majors especially seem to be a bit more head strong in what they want to do, atleast compared to things like medical and English majors.
Hey!! I am currently attending a college in Los Angeles, California and I’m super interested in applying to transfer to Ohio State for my 2nd year and it’s been my dream school. The deadlines at my college weren’t aligned with OSU so I’m applying to Spring 2020. My question is do you have any advice for moving into OSU or Ohio in general? This especially since I literally live across the country and I’m so used to being in Los Angeles with all the typical weather and city stuff. I have a million other questions about OSU but that’s my biggest concern. THANKS!!!
Yess!!! I can definitely talk about this!!! I’m so excited for you to come to OSU though! Yay!!! If you have any other questions definitely let me know!
Even though I absolutely despise OSU (as an incoming freshman to OU) But I really did enjoy this video! It was really helpful and gets me even more excited for school to start and probably cry myself to sleep with my class load 😂 Thank you for making this!
Woah I just looked at the OSU map to see what you were talking about and its huge!!! The schools I'm looking at are smaller than that and they also both told me that it takes 15 min from one side to the other. (It's not 15 min but still).
For shaving, i have an electric razor so ive never shaved my legs in the shower before and i dont go through disposable razors very fast cuz im only shaving my ampits. I also dont get knicks or cuts because its electric and not sharp blades
@@melissa-om4gk I'd say its definitely close enough where i dont have any issue with it (granted i have blonde-ish leg hair so i dont notice it much until it gets fairly long, and im also someone who really doesnt give a damn if i have some leg hair and I wear leggings most of the time anyways lol) but i think the one time i used a regular razor it did give a slightly closer shave, but it was such a hassel trying to contort myself in the shower and get the shaving cream to not rinse off and everything that I'd much rather use my electric one. It probably depends on the electric razor too, different brands/prices might give a closer shave.
I’m going to OSU Mansfield in the fall and I’m actually excited. A lot of people don’t want to go because they see it as something they have to do to get to the Columbus campus but I’m ready to see what Mansfield has to offer
It is honestly a smart move because it is cheaper to go to a regional campus so you are saving money for a year before coming to Columbus campus!! I hope you love it!!!
I’m 3 years late to this vid. I’m glad I found your channel. Thank you for all this advice. I am class of 2026 so as a upcoming freshman and move in in 2 weeks.
Jeez, this reminds me of why I am so happy I am an online student. yah, there are still hidden fees, but 3,000 a semester is way cheaper than, say, 25,000-50,000+ a year.
@@MyDriftingDesk, i tried the traditional way, but i ended up getting bullied in college and accommodations in college for developmental disabilities suck ( well, thats because i have autism and NVLD) and NVLD isn't well known among professionals. so, accommodations are just trail and error.... i found open book worked best for me because i don't have the visual memory to do traditional memorization.
Just remember kids, C's get degrees but not scholarships✌🏽
That is TRUE!!! Hahah
But Cs in college keep scholarships 😂
@@danielberretta1833 yes they do!!! hahah
@@MyDriftingDesk not all of them! some academic and even sports scholarships have grade/gpa requirements :)

im a rising freshman at uofsc! they addressed this during skits at orientation.
Kiana yay! That makes me so happy that they’re making new students aware.
I once went into a uber with my mom who was on the phone at the time... I am a very attentive teenager so i always look at their phone GPS. I notice that we were going the wrong way and the voice controls were off. I had pretended like i was taking a video for Instagram but i was actually texting my dad to track my location. He did and had began to try and follow the car. We ended up stopping at a draw bridge and my dad knocked on the window and got us out of that possibly dangerous situation.
Thanks 🙏
dont have that "c's get degrees" mindset if y'all planning on getting into to medical school 🤦🏾♀️
Medical school is a whole other beat lol
Or going into teaching. I had some classmates that had that mindset and failed literally and figuratively.
‼️
Or if you plan on getting a good Job or law school... That too.
Or any graduate program
I’m so sad my orientation has to be online because of the virus. I’ve been so looking forward to it, but thankfully welcome week will be like a mini orientation as well.

For communal bathrooms, I recommend wearing sandals or something similar.
Shower shoes ALL THE WAY!
@@MyDriftingDesk I have some old crocs that still fit me but I don't really like them anymore so I'm set 👌
Here is a tip dont buy your textbooks from the college bookstore but instead if the option is available rent the textbooks it will be cheaper
YESSSS!!
Take a step further, don't buy or rent a textbook altogether unless you know for sure you need it
Yes! Renting textbooks from my school is cheaper than renting from Chegg and Amazon
@@Kaylee_20 Oh wow!! That's great!!

I love going to osu because its such a big school!!! You’ll have no problem making friends!!! I hope you have fun!!!
Just prioritize and time manage well, always get school work done first before hanging out with friends!! I’m sure you can do it!! 💖
This is a really great video with awesome advice! My freshman year of undergrad was really difficult for me and I felt very isolated and lonely...so I really appreciate you mentioning that aspect of becoming a college student! But you will get through it! I did, I'm in graduate school now, and I couldn't be more excited! Never give up on your dreams and passions!
I agree!!! NEVER GIVE UP! 💓💓💓
I'll be a freshman at OSU this coming fall and your videos have really helped me prepare for it! Thanks for the great content, keep it up! :)
Aw yay!!! I hope you love being at OSU!!!
Definitely paid for everything they gonna be giving 😂 $600 admission fee
YUP!!!! Nothing is free hahaha
I ended up paying $1200 for mine😓
WHAT?! That’s crazy!!!
Damn what colleges did y'all go to?
Thank you!!!!
Iam a mom and I appreciate your talk about safety at parties especially. I love your mental health care too... Iam a nurse and your spi
Your video is perfect... thank you
It needs to be talked about!! Both being safe at parties and your mental health! I wish universities did more in this area! But thank you so much! 💖
Ok, yes an 8am class does suck... but try taking a 7am class, that sucks even more, especially if you live off campus 25 minutes away... I agree no matter what don’t take an 8 or 7am class, you may think you are a morning person, but that is a whole new level. DONT DO IT! (I am college junior as of this year).
I freakin love your videos!!!! Keep up the wonderful work!!!
YIKES 7am lol. no one is a COLLEGE morning person lol.
thank you so much! 💖
Art supplies if youre an art student lol.... so expensive
Ugh I’m so sorry!!!

I’m going to Southern Oregon University this fall (hopefully they let us on campus despite corona 🤞) and I’ve been watching a lot of college preparation videos and yours are probably the best! I’m actually learning a lot of stuff I wasn’t aware of before, kinda getting nervous but I’m also really excited now too.
omg I'm so happy they're helpful for you!! Don't be nervous! You're going to love it!!!!!
I’m a soon-to-be high school senior, and despite not needing this information yet, I’m glad I’m finding your videos!
I'm glad they're helpful for you! 💓definitely come back next Summer before you head off! enjoy your senior year!!
Hey! I would love to see a video for incoming HS seniors where you talk about the college app process, essays, etc.
For your Q&A:
What are some fun things to do in Columbus for college kids?
Have you ever felt unsafe on OSU’s campus?
How do you deal with walking around such a big campus during the winter?
Oh, could you also talk about your Ohio State job?
Good thing is I have this video planned 😉 hahaha. So yay!!!
But for my Q&A I can most definitely talk about all of that!! 🤩
I’m going to an all engineering college 7 to 1 male to female ratio so I need girly advice

You will do great, I’m sure of it!!! I hope you enjoy it!!!! I’m so glad this was helpful!!!
Lily Isabella ૐ r u going to the one in Fort Collins or Pueblo??

Marilyn Levi fort collins!! what about you??
Faith Noelle omg!! what’s your insta?
OhioState. I'm currently in the middle of orientation (one day left) they do make you feel at home, especially the peer leaders. They kinda touched on what it takes to have good grades but it was all typical stuff you hear everywhere
Yay!!! I’m glad you’re enjoying orientation!!! Welcome to OSU!!!!
I'm going to be a freshmen at Texas Tech University and just want to say your videos are life saver! IT's everything that I wanted/need to hear before moving into college!
Omg yay!!! I’m so happy to hear that!!!! I hope you love your first year!!! 🤩🤩
Omg how is it?! Thats my number one collage becuase my parents went their.
@@sydneyford6248 I personally love it! It's a really pretty campus and their pre-med department is amazing! There's so many clubs and organizations and the town is a little smaller coming from someone in a big city but I still highly recommend it!
@@ashleymwangi3269 really thats great! I was actually thinking of going into the pre- med department. Thank you so much for responding.
Just got into Ohio State yesterday! Thank you for this video it was so helpful:))
OMG CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
I'm going to UTChatt in the fall and I'm sooo pumped! I've been binging your videos for a few days because you have some really great advice and tips!
aw thank you so much!!! I'm glad that it's helpful!
Amen about the bookstore prices! OMG I preach that to anyone headed to college. Don't EVER buy the books at the bookstore.
NEVER EVER!!!
I want to see the full back of your laptop... what I can see of it, it looks pretty
hahah thank you so much!!
I’m late but this video has shed light recently accepted my spot at a college in a whole different state and am now getting anxiety about 🥴 starting in the next couple of months but this like is now giving me some sort of idea of what to expect tyyyy
Don’t be nervous!!! CONGRATS!! HAVE FUN!!!
I am an incoming freshman at Black Hills State University in Spearfish, SD. I'm so excited about college. I have been binge-ing college videos to prepare myself.
ahhh CONGRATS!!!! 💜
@@MyDriftingDesk Thank you!
Your intro music and your intro in general is my favorite
aww thank you so much!! 💖
I headed to Claremont McKenna in Cali.
Ughh!! Id love to go to Cali!!! ENJOY!!!
tip: Even if you forget to study, DO NOT pull an allnighter the night before exam. It won't help you and it would be better to study late- and sleep some. However, feel free to pull on one on another night.
I AGREE!! NO all nighters before an exam, they're SO bad and it won't help!
thank you for this video! :) im starting college this fall and im honestly very anxious about everything.
you're so welcome!! don't be nervous, you're gunna have so much fun! 💜
ok i love your vibe and college advice especially as an incoming freshman this fall!
omg thank you so much! ❤️
The Changing major thing is something your only going to do if you’re not passionate about anything. I’m a sound engineering major so I work with a lot of the film majors, music industry majors, music majors, and I can say that all the people passionate about their craft DO NOT change majors. As for people going for nursing, or early edu, psychology on the other hand, those seem to be the majors where most people who just sorta threw themselves into college with no passion end up.
being dead set on something and having a passion for it, doesn't mean you won't find new passions or new interests while in college and switch things around. All in all, I was just saying that changing your major is NORMAL and not to feel bad about doing so because SO many people do it and everything will work out in the end :)
Marissa Nicole oh yeah totally, I’m not saying that there’s anything wrong with it, I just find that any type of art majors especially seem to be a bit more head strong in what they want to do, atleast compared to things like medical and English majors.
Hey!! I am currently attending a college in Los Angeles, California and I’m super interested in applying to transfer to Ohio State for my 2nd year and it’s been my dream school. The deadlines at my college weren’t aligned with OSU so I’m applying to Spring 2020.
My question is do you have any advice for moving into OSU or Ohio in general? This especially since I literally live across the country and I’m so used to being in Los Angeles with all the typical weather and city stuff.
I have a million other questions about OSU but that’s my biggest concern. THANKS!!!
Yess!!! I can definitely talk about this!!! I’m so excited for you to come to OSU though! Yay!!!
If you have any other questions definitely let me know!
I'll be at Ball State University this fall and loved the video!
Same!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! 🤩🤩🤩 have so much fun!!!
Ima get Grandma’s home cook meals ❤️❤️
You’re lucky!!
I’m a rising senior so I still have another year but I’m hoping for UofSC fall 2020
YESSS!!! Good luck to you!
Leanne H I’m going to UofSC this year! I’m psyched!
I’m starting out at USC a month from today...hYPED
AHHH! I hope you have a great first year!!!
I'm headed to Miami University in the fall, very excited!
CONGRATULATIONS 🤩🤩
Even though I absolutely despise OSU (as an incoming freshman to OU) But I really did enjoy this video! It was really helpful and gets me even more excited for school to start and probably cry myself to sleep with my class load 😂
Thank you for making this!
OU OH YEAH!!! I hope you have a great first year!!! I’m so glad it was helpful!!
I loved this!! Going to UC Santa Barbara this fall 💙💛
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I hope you have so much fun!!!
Woah I just looked at the OSU map to see what you were talking about and its huge!!! The schools I'm looking at are smaller than that and they also both told me that it takes 15 min from one side to the other. (It's not 15 min but still).
15 minutes is a LIE!!! Hahahaha. OSU is huge!!!!
So excited!! Where my UIUCs at?
CONGRATS!!!!
Headed off to Manchester University in August! I'm a little nervous, but really excited!
Omg!!! You’re going to have so much fun!!!
Ill be attending OSU my orientation in in June.
YAY!!! Have fun!!! 🤩
On the friends thing, find one extrovert and let them make all your friends for you 😂
HAHAH 😂 that's definitely a way to do it
For shaving, i have an electric razor so ive never shaved my legs in the shower before and i dont go through disposable razors very fast cuz im only shaving my ampits. I also dont get knicks or cuts because its electric and not sharp blades
that's smart!!
Emma Jaworski dumb question but does it still give a close shave?
@@melissa-om4gk I'd say its definitely close enough where i dont have any issue with it (granted i have blonde-ish leg hair so i dont notice it much until it gets fairly long, and im also someone who really doesnt give a damn if i have some leg hair and I wear leggings most of the time anyways lol) but i think the one time i used a regular razor it did give a slightly closer shave, but it was such a hassel trying to contort myself in the shower and get the shaving cream to not rinse off and everything that I'd much rather use my electric one. It probably depends on the electric razor too, different brands/prices might give a closer shave.
Love this- so much good advice. Thanks for sharing and posting
aw yay! I'm glad you liked it!
I’m going to OSU Mansfield in the fall and I’m actually excited. A lot of people don’t want to go because they see it as something they have to do to get to the Columbus campus but I’m ready to see what Mansfield has to offer
It is honestly a smart move because it is cheaper to go to a regional campus so you are saving money for a year before coming to Columbus campus!! I hope you love it!!!
I’m 3 years late to this vid. I’m glad I found your channel. Thank you for all this advice. I am class of 2026 so as a upcoming freshman and move in in 2 weeks.
♥️♥️ so glad it's been helpful!!!
My professors are demons, and people in group projects are social loafers. lol.
HAHAHA i love his lol
@@MyDriftingDesk thanks haha 😂😂😂
First! I’m incoming freshman and I just got here at Columbus visiting OSU! It’s huge and so pretty here!
OMG!!! I hope you love it!!!!
Thanks for the video. I'm going to the University of South Florida in the fall.
Yayyy!! Congratulations!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Go Bulls!!! You’re gonna love it.
Jeez, this reminds me of why I am so happy I am an online student. yah, there are still hidden fees, but 3,000 a semester is way cheaper than, say, 25,000-50,000+ a year.
I wish 😫 so much debt hahahah
@@MyDriftingDesk, i tried the traditional way, but i ended up getting bullied in college and accommodations in college for developmental disabilities suck ( well, thats because i have autism and NVLD) and NVLD isn't well known among professionals. so, accommodations are just trail and error.... i found open book worked best for me because i don't have the visual memory to do traditional memorization.
margaret capers I’m glad you’ve found something that works best for you! 💖
@@MyDriftingDesk, thanks! I am happy as well.
I'm going to Coastal Carolina University in the fall. I am most excited for dorm life!
OMG!!! CONGRATS!!!
