    In this episode of Crash Course: How to College, Erica helps us think about how to best choose the right school for us. There's a lot to think about, like: what kind of learner you are, what kind of environment you like, how to know if your school is looking out for your success, what kinds of support do different schools offer, and of course what do you want to study?
    Crash Course: How to College is part of Study Hall, a partnership between ASU and Crash Course. Head over to our new Study Hall channel to check out our Fast Guide series which break down different college majors.

    For those of you who've gone through the school picking process, what advice do you have for others?

    • @idgaf5656
      @idgaf5656 2 года назад +99

      definitely make sure your expectations are realistic! don’t plan for everything in great detail and expect it to go exactly as planned. most of the process is a mix of adjusting and compromising, but it’ll make sense in the end!

    • @JV3Player
      @JV3Player 2 года назад +23

      I believe vocational school, community college or university should be a return on investment. The biggest factor that most students obviate from is how cost effective is the location and program.

    • @assassinblackop
      @assassinblackop 2 года назад +34

      Visit your school on a weekend, I always visited my school during the middle of the week and failed to realize that 95% of students left by Thursday night to go back home. I ended up spending a lot of money my first semester just to be in a ghost town.

    • @MrMtanz
      @MrMtanz 2 года назад +34

      Cost!
      Some of the best advice I've heard about it is: don't think of your loans as the total sum of your tuition costs, think of it as how much per month you're going to be paying for at least 10 years after graduating.

    • @nicolebacon2747
      @nicolebacon2747 2 года назад +28

      Talk to people! In the field, program, or school you're considering. Listen to their advice. Take a tour of the school. Ask lots of questions. Do some research about the services offered by different schools, tuition, etc. Be realistic with your plans. Don't choose something just because you feel pressured to choose it. Start exploring your interests and possible career paths early. Don't leave all the decision making until the last minute.

      Okay, I personally (early 40s) want to hear about what made you decide now to get into college; how you picked one; how you plan to balance study, work and home. I'm just now considering it and really thinking about that part to make it all worthwhile.

    Also as a PSA if you know you do better in smaller classes, community colleges tend to have smaller classes than the typical 4-year schools.

  • @culwin
    @culwin 2 года назад +56

    I went to a big school, and I would recommend it to most people who are going to choose a 4-year degree. It is so nice having some choice in your classes and teachers (although that's not always possible). I was also able to have a good choice in classes over Summer. Our math classes were offered year-round, so I could take one even on Summer break. Also a big school offers so many more resources, in general. Of course there were some class sizes that were huge (especially for freshmen), but most were not that big. The more specialized classes tend to be pretty small. A big school is probably not for everybody, but I liked it a lot.

  • @bluejedi723
    @bluejedi723 2 года назад +34

    remember- every fricking major out there requires English 101, Psych 100, algebra 101 ect. Knocks those off at community college for uber cheap.

    Yooooooo asu! I went there last year. A little too big for me. Now at southern Oregon university. Crash course is literally one of my favorite RUclips channels, and it’s good to see they are still coming out with stuff. I straight up used to watch the history and literature vids for fun. Seriously one of the most good spirited channels out there. I know it can’t be easy doing this in RUclips’s current climate, so it’s hella impressive to see you keep going. It’s clearly out of a love for education, and I hope kids keep getting the great experience from these vids.

  • @eliontheinternet3298
    @eliontheinternet3298 2 года назад +23

    I think it's super important to evaluate how easy resources are to find, even if you don't think you'll need them! Everyone will need help during college at some point, whether it's tutoring, career services, or even just administrative stuff like advising. How easy to find and accessible these resources are has an enormous impact on how successful you are as a student. It doesn't matter if you can pass your classes if you can't get your adviser's email to figure out what to take.

    REQUEST AND SUGGESTION: Could you please talk about going to college as an American student, outside of the USA? I've been thinking about leaving the country for college and am wondering what the pros and cons are, but very few people around me have any experience on the subject.

  • @somepotato9900
    @somepotato9900 2 года назад +11

    Things get tricky if you change your major like I did! The nursing school here is one of the best in the country and I already lived in the same town anyways (i also get half-off tuition since i have a parent who works at my collage). Now I'm a psychology major and the school of liberal arts isn't as well-known, but that doesn't mean it's not a good program. But this means I can't stop at the undergrad level

  • @W0lfbaneShikaisc00l
    @W0lfbaneShikaisc00l 2 года назад +49

    And that's presuming they'll accept your application... the rest of us end up just picking the best acceptance rate with the highest probability of landing a job afterward depending on major. Once upon a time I had my sights on doing a masters - looking at today's climate I'm not so sure anymore, if I get a first in my degree I'm sure I'd get a lot of people barking at me to program their robot anyway - if I had any suggestion for today's computer science student: choose a focus and avoid general cs - no one wants a generalist, they want a specialist.

    • @crashcourse
      @crashcourse  2 года назад +25

      This is kind of the opposite that happened with film/video production. Once a lot of the tools became democratized in the early 2000s, people wanted one person to do everything. Some of this is starting to swing back to having specialists, but it makes it challenging to think about education (both organized like college and on your own).

    • @JV3Player
      @JV3Player 2 года назад +5

      The funny thing is...You can sort of specialise in college with "emphasis" but getting a bachelor's is supposedly educating you on the essential skills needed for the occupation, which is most of the time generals. Once you step into the workforce, there's a huge bridge you have to jump across, because businesses will have specific goals and plans in mind, you might not even touch all of the skills you learned in college after being in the workforce for 10 years, you will become so specialized at one specific area, then completely transition to another job...

It is my intent to eventually study online by around autumn 2023 andor sooner at the latest and some of the references discussed on where to study more info on the colleges also gives more essential information to keep in mind for both present and future reference.
