    🌺Aloha, I’m Katie! I'm a Filipina teen studying abroad at Cornell University. I love creating products at the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and design to uplift communities I'm part of. I want to do too many things, and I want to make it all work… so that’s what my TH-cam channel is about. Join me on this crazy journey and together, we'll learn, struggle, and hopefully find the courage to live our dreams.

    Such an insightful video, I would love to hear more of your sister's experience in studying in the US (the classes she took, what made her choose Northwestern than other schools, why she moved to the UK to pursue her advanced education, etc.) Great video bringing your sister in!

    I have a question. Can a Filipino Student from a Filipino Middle Class Family can consider going to Cornell and Northwestern University considering it is hefty going to Northwestern and an Ivy League school (Cornell is an Ivy) and you need like more than ₱2,000,000 or $37,042 after aid annually for the school fees.

    Great perspectives, If you hadn't left your country to study abroad would you have learned as much as you both did in general ?

    • @KatieTracy
      @KatieTracy  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      ah hard to say because I don’t have the experience of studying in my country, but I’d say I’d just have learned different skillsets - more cultural, language, national history, etc. and the teaching would be more memorization-based vs. application-based in the US from what I’ve heard. thanks for watching!

    With how expensive the education is here, when I become a parent I will encourage my children to study somewhere else. 😅 There are reasons why everybody is waiting for the 100% loan forgiveness.
