    how big are the dorms? are they like comfortable enough to stay in, or are u planning to move to an apartment later? and also how do dorms work, like how do you choose your roomates?

    • @jackvcohen
      @jackvcohen  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I feel like the dorms are a pretty good size, but I don't really know how big other college dorms are so I can't compare. Mine is pretty comfortable, but I also feel like I got a better dorm than others. I know there are some buildings that don't even have AC which is pretty brutal the first couple weeks of school. I'm not sure what I'm doing next year, but I'll probably get an apartment for Junior and Senior year because I'm pretty sure you can't stay in a dorm anymore. They have an online portal where you can request roommates or you can go random. I might make a dorm tour or something on this, but I hope this helps!

    Really interesting video. My daughter is thinking about enrolling in FC as she’s been offered a spring admission. It looks like there’s a lot of walking between classes, food hall and your dorm. As classes are later in the day, is it safe to walk around campus?

    • @jackvcohen
      @jackvcohen  ปีที่แล้ว

      I would say it's safe to walk around campus in the evening. There are phones all around campus you can call with an emergency, I would say you could stand anywhere on campus and at least see one within eyesight. There's also police officers roaming around occasionally. Once you get off campus is a different story, but one campus should be fine

    Hi! I was admitted into umd for spring of 2023. I am looking into the freshman connection if I do attend umd. Did you have to apply to it or were you automatically put in it?

    • @jackvcohen
      @jackvcohen  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      First of all, congratulations! You aren’t automatically put in, but all you have to do is fill out the application. As long as you fill it out by the deadline, I’m pretty sure there’s no way to get denied. But I would do it sooner rather than later so that you can get the classes you want. I honestly kind of liked Freshman Connection because of the later and smaller classes. The only bad part about it is that I’m in Letters and Sciences so I still have to apply to my major next year

      I had a 4.42 weighted GPA, 3.68 unweighted, and was ranked 56 out of 260. To be honest, I feel like my stats weren't the best. I really slacked off my sophomore year, but I turned it around and got straight A's junior and senior year. I didn't even submit an SAT score because it was test optional. What I feel like helped my application was all of my extracurriculars. I was very involved in clubs, had several jobs, and did a lot of community service activities. Hope this helps!
