I'm so glad I ended up finding this channel because I'm an early high schoop graduate and I've been so stressed out about college, FAFSA and just how to pay for it.
As a junior in high school, I am soo stressed about choosing the right college that would align with my financial situation along with my academics and passion/dream.
Hey Mary! How are you? Don't be too stressed.. Try watching this.. Maybe this could help.. "How to choose the best college degree for you" Good luck =) th-cam.com/video/AkZw8KOLWKI/w-d-xo.html
Love that you're putting out these videos to help those considering higher education. These days it seems like so many people like to say that you shouldn't go to college when they themselves never went. Great perspective and solid advice!
As a returning student & first generation, I had no one to ask for advice on U.S. colleges and job outlooks. And here I am binge watching your videos. Every video you make is so helpful. Keep up the good work!
I went to CC for my first two years out of college. I can tell you I was not mentally ready to move out and be on my own yet so it really worked out for me. Also let me keep my nice part time job and let me save up a bunch of money. I have since transferred to a state university (Florida State) and honestly it’s been a pretty seemles experience other than being on my own now. Those two years humbled me and realized that this is a business decision for my career. You can always party after you get the degree kids. But I am set to graduate debt free in the next two years and very happy with my decision especially after seeing close friends either drop out completely or be in so much debt from only their first two years. ESPECIALLY with the COVID situation shrinking the “college experience” it’s probably a good idea for recent high school grads to look at their local CCs instead of going in debt taking online classes.
I'm currently going to a community college under a state grant that is paying for ALL of my tuition! I can personally vouch for everything Shane says here. In my experience, the classes are small (I had a math class that was just 6 students), the instructors are friendly and available, and there's the added bonus of not having to live on your own just yet. Anyone considering community college and reading this, I highly recommend it! Just make sure to find one that is smaller and has good reviews.
I found this channel at EXACT right time! I’m a high school senior, graduating in June 2021. The students graduating in my year are pretty lucky; I think most colleges are being more lenient with who they accept, since I was accepted to over eight universities with a 2.8 gpa (most of them are in-state) and no SAT scores. With all these acceptances, I’m receiving a whole lot of financial aid awards and I’m searching for scholarships to pay the balance since I’m extremely poor and couldn’t afford to pay out of pocket. My biggest worry now, is actually CHOOSING a good college; the one that’s giving me the most money in scholarships/grants, and has the major/minor programs that I’ve trying to go for.
My man is preaching some serious wisdom. Stumbled upon this while looking for some info for an upcoming video and you're spot on about community colleges and the for-profit garbage.
Community College grad here, I did very well at CC, I basically could’ve gone anywhere (minus ivys/nescac schools). My dream school was the University of Miami, I absolutely fell in love with the school in Hs but didn’t have the grades out of HS to get in as a Finance student. After graduating CC, They were actually pretty generous with giving me credits for business classes and other gen Ed class, along with their scholarship money (~$15,000). It only brought down the price to $53,000, which unfortunately was still a little steep. I had to settle for my in-state school, that also has a outstanding business school. Both schools accepted the same amount of credits btw. If you do well at CC and depending on what private school it is and if you are willing to pay the private school tuition, it could still be very possible to go one of those schools, if that is your dream school.
Kylan Parayao, your comment just made my day brother.. It means a lot.. Thank You! =) Please check out my other videos and let me know what you think =)
@@ShaneHummus I've seen some of your videos before posting this content actually. And I think that a good way to get more viewers, ergo more ad revenue, is by tailoring more videos towards general audiences. Your popular uploads have been based on education and finance, something that'll attract the young adult population (18-22 ish). I feel like that if you display what your life is like as a result of your hard work as a Pharm Grad (Like what house you live in, neighborhood, city, car, etc) and then explain to the audience why you ended up where you live and what made you decide on those specific purchases. That way, you knock down your two popular categories - education and finance.
I think you left out an important aspect. When choosing schools that are not Ivies, it is still really important to consider rankings for your major(s) of interest. For example, in my home state of Virginia, the cheapest school for me to go to would have been Virginia Commonwealth University. It is a decent school but not known very well nationally. It is a good option for health professions because it also has Nursing, Dentistry, and Medical programs. For something business related, you would be best going to University of Virginia, which has several top 15 business programs. For something engineering related, you would be much better off going to Virginia Tech or even University of Virginia. Their programs are ranked 13th and 39th respectively in the latest USNews Ranking. They're not "top 5" but they are good enough to be sending engineers to companies like Google, Amazon, SpaceX, NASA, Boeing, etc. In my own experience, as a student at Virginia Tech, with little practical or job experience but a good GPA at a competitive top 15 engineering school, I was able to land my first paid internship after my third semester in college. Some of my peers at school went the Community College route, and I studied part-time at my local CC when I was in high school and have nothing but good things to say, but those students just don't get the same kind of opportunity (as early) as students having entered the university as a freshman. They can get the same places in the end, but it will almost definitely take longer.
It was my two years of community college that eventually opened the door to grad school at Stanford. Many CC instructors are adjuncts at local uni’s, teaching the same courses for a fraction of the price. Simply put, don’t sleep on community college.
I transferred from my local community college in NY to UCF. The total cost of attendance here is not too different from a highly ranked SUNY( ~$31k vs $38k). I’d likely have to pay the full cost at a SUNY since my parents make too much to qualify for Excelsior and I’m a transfer. I’ll also have a little over $15k in debt after graduation, the same as if I attended a SUNY. So trading snowy winters for sun was worth it. 🌴
Hey that’s what I’m doing I just graduated in 2020. I’m taking my pre-requisites in a Community College and then transferring to Chamberlain University. My cousin went there and she’s now a nurse working at a hospital and she’s been able to travel. Wish me luck!
Help. I'm stuck in a loop of working 40+ hours a week, getting inspired to continue my education, running into a problem but being too busy to deal with it, then I'm too tired to do anything afterwork.
1. Figure out what you're good at, balance that between what is economically stable and profitable. 2. Search and sort best programs for your field of choice. Ask about alumni and internship opportunities. Do you need to do a residency year with core classes? Most of the Ivy leagues require this and phenomenal racial and interpersonal ability. It sucks to say it, but an incredibly smart immigrant with brown skin and well educated parents beats out the brown kid from the states. Coming from an immigrant country bumps up your application in some of these universities, especially if you are in humanities (politics related) or sciences. Retaining and encouraging skilled immigrant workers is always laudible, bug coming from a disadvantaged neighborhood in America versus Guatemala with an increased English fluency puts you higher in the greater needs category. Transfering to an Ivy, or getting in as a working adult who doesn't hold another B.A or B.S makes transfer or direct entry to an Ivy almost impossible. 3.Allocate finances, applying for scholarships, and saving money (you will have to skimp somewhere but the grind is worth it). After balancing your wants and needs to a precipitous degree,always make sure the University you attend has networking potential. If not that, change jobs into a co-related field and make connections there, pointing out you're studying. Getting good grades, if you bring this up to an employer will help. 4.Apply, gather study resources and attend class. Make your study and play environment conducive to learning without distraction while still saving some time per day and per week to do something fun. 5. Pick local volunteer groups and make new friends or acquaintances. Your reputation if they recognize you is on the line but otherwise, they may have others that can help you if you're really struggling for learning and emotional skills. Soft skills in any industry matter as much as your schooling. 6. Finish school with good grades (they're your first barrier as newborn grad). Build a resume if you didn't have an internship. Learn company recognizance skills and ask if your school has an intern/student career alumni service center. Either before or after you graduate they can help. At the community college level, I had someone willing to coach me through mock interviews while checking my resume. Student services don't end until after graduation. 7. Volunteer. It's both a good thing for the community and your interpersonal skills but a bad thing because you may lack industry expert feedback. Call managers or recruiters or put out emails asking for job/skill requirements. For some, portfolio links and spare projects are as important as the degree and form interview questions. Company culture may or may not fit your personality or security clearances. New hires for government work are slow with less flexibility to get in compared to a veteran. (Both a good and bad thing.) For security purposes there's somethings a civilian is useless for unless you somehow beat out the competition by being the last applicant standing. If you have a prior record, expect civil service to be very difficult to get into.
I went to community college because of my grades not being as high to go directly to a 4 year college. In community college, I paid 20% out of pocket, which was about 50 dollars, and 80% was paid by financial aid because my family were low income. After transfered to SFSU for anthropology, financial aid paid the full amount and I got what was left over. I graduated from SFSU in anthropology with no student loan debt while living in at home just commuting to the city, but had many friends that were in my department, living the city had thousands dollars in debt when they got out. Some were already working in Starbucks.
Hey, If you don’t mind me asking… what is the degree? have you been able to find a job with it? debating whether to attend a university or community college for a Supply chain management degree. Thanks in advance
@@erikzhagui1851 I got a bachelor's degree in biochemistry from RPI. I was able to find to find a job and later I was able to get an MS and PhD as well.
You make excellent points. I would like to add though that there are colleges that are free, such as college of the ozarks. Going to public university is fine, but the flagship state schools are so much harder than small private colleges. Going to both, and if healthcare is your goal, I can honestly say if I would rather go to a small private university with direct degree programs. There are straight 6 year programs for pharmacy, physical therapy and med school. in state schools you go in with an intended major, as opposed to private universities/colleges. Some private colleges have such amazing scholarship packages that they are at the same price of state schools or even cheaper, with smaller class sizes, and more teacher interaction.
Late as hell but I'd definitely appreciate your thoughts on how to get around out of state tuition at the big colleges like UCLA. The only way I know if is to live in the state for at least a year, with a parent-or by yourself, in which case you'd have to demonstrate financial independence from your parents, which is extremely difficult. There are many other stipulations, and if you make the slightest mistake it's over. It's really hard to get around out of state tuition. Schools like UCLA or Michigan are excellent on virtually any standard, probably the tier below the very best like Harvard & Stanford and certainly the best publics... but if you can't afford to pay OOS just don't apply. That's my advice. Unless you can actually move out to Cali or Michigan or wherever and get in-state tuition. It would really suck paying the application fee, getting accepted, and having to decline them because of exorbitant out of state fees.
My cousin is doing the CC route for nursing while I (already have 12 college credit hours) have decided to do the University route. I may do double colleges and get it all done.
So the only thing I will say is that currently many employers are offering to pay for full tuition for their employees. Most of the schools under their umbrella are actually the For-Profit school you spoke about. Not saying that you are wrong because for someone coming out of high school they definitely should not go to those schools. However, I have seen people in director and executive roles with degrees from these schools, so I think if your employer is going to pay for it don’t just shove it off. Do your research and make your own decision.
i was in a really hard place because i got a full ride to a state school (university of delaware) and i also got into an ivy league (upenn) but would have had to pay full price $89,000/year 😭 i don’t qualify for financial aid but that would have given me $200,000 in debt. i ultimately decided on delaware!
What are your thoughts on military academy’s such as West Point? The median income of a West Point graduate is around 140,000 dollars, but u have to serve for 5 years after graduation. Thanks!
I just got accepted into westpoint and can give you some of my knowledge on the outlook of a graduate. Once you're out of a college you serve as an officer for 5 years, the salary plus benefits of a starting officer is around 60k and increases with every promotion. You won't have any debt as westpoint is free, (they even pay you 12k a year as pocket money) also the degree you get will most likely be a stem degree ( as a required percentage of degrees given by the academy have to be) once you do your five years of service you have a stem degree and 5 years of leadership expierience whcih I imagine is extremely marketable to most companies. A lot of grads start their own buisnesses too
As someone studied in a different country, it's pretty crazy to hear how many students change majors. Over here in the Netherlands you basically HAVE to pick while applying, because if you switch majors you have to start the 4 full years over.
U really changes life's my daughter l was about to force her going for med school but am very sure she can't Bec she hate stress l will live her to choose any course she good at
Hi Shane, love your videos! Any suggestions for international students who have finished their Bachelor's degree, and have work experience looking for a good university for their Masters's degree? Thanks in advance! Keep up the great work.
If you do know what you want to do as a degree go to a community college/trade school. If your degree that has a base in a trade job like machining for say mechanical engineering or something related get that understanding of how things are done in the fields. For example know how parts are made before going and start designing parts. (Machines and engineering field) also you can get really good paying jobs to work as you go to school.
I would say that even if you get into a prestigious private university you need to know how to pay for it and you need to know that you can do it. You can go to a public, in-state university for almost nothing comparably, especially if you are a good student, and you'll probably stand out from others in your class and build connections easier. College is a lot of mental strain, and especially at an Ivy League, you're lucky just to make it to the end. I'm fairly sure most people go to college for some period of time nowadays, but only a third of America has a college degree.
I’m deciding between UTRGV and UT Austin. UTRGV has given me enough money to cover all tuition and most costs however with UT Austin I don’t think I’ll have enough to pay for everything with the money they give me and the scholarships I have earned, but UT Austin is a more prestigious school. I’m not sure which one to go with
I am studying in a California community college and preparing to transfer to UCR as a Computer Engineering student. Even though I can transfer to the local state university saving up to 4K a year. I think it is worth.
Hi shane, i have made a big mistake of choosing to do Alevel from uk. And the college is quite expensive. I thought i was paying for education. But this place doesnt even have the A of a functional school. I dont think i can legally do anything for all the damage they have done. I am trying to find uni in uk. But the reviews they have are atrocious. I am losing hope.
Hi Shane, I am Anshu. I highly admire your TH-cam videos as I have learnt a lot from it. I am confused which college should I choose? Ithaca college or NYIT for Pre medicine. Your channel makes it easier for international students like me to understand various topics related to colleges in the US. Thank you for that!
I love your videos! Being a college student and watching this has probably saved my bank account lol, also what was your undergraduate degree and why don't you refer yourself as Dr. Shane?
@@ShaneHummus True. But in general, I've seen this work in order. Also, if you have the financial resources to go to a big-name school it would give you an ancillary benefit in most cases.
Man, wished I had more time to decide. Was only able to make applications on March 31st after coming back from ft. Jackson. Going to go to Susquehanna University but it costs 64k a year... at least 36k is taken from tuition every year with a scholarship and I have a GI Bill to cover a two years. Still its gonna cost around 50k in debt.
I'm so thankful that I stumbled upon your channel a few days ago and I've been binge-watching your videos ever since. Would it be possible for you to give advice on how to choose a college outside of the US? Thanks for doing these types of videos.
Can you make/recommend a video on subject study habit advice for returning students, i might have to learn something at home like coding or business taking care of others, like i know math needs practice as its like an excercise! Do you know where one can practice math problems gradually to improve?
Shane I need advice I just graduated with an AA in business management from community college and found out that I can get my bachelors in that school. I don’t know if to do it cause although I would save a ton of money everyone knows this school as a place to get your AA only. Literally the only major they offer a bachelors degree for is business management so I don’t know if to pay more and go to an in state school since I already have 60 credits and would only have to pay for the last two years. Or stay in my school and graduate either completely debt free or with like $3k loan. Frankly, I’m just scared employers are not going to take my degree seriously because it’s from a known CC
Hi I am new to the US education system and I am just wondering what is the effect if you transfer the first 2 years of studying to a more reputable state college. So essentially, are you treated as if you have studied in the transfered uni for 4 years?
Hello Shane, what to expect when you have a GPA of less than 3.0? this was my high school GPA in Colombia. I come from another country, but I have learnt pretty good English. I would like to see what is the best possible university I can attend to in the US. I know my GPA is not amazing, but I am committed to have a really good SAT, ACT & TOEFL. I know it sounds illusive to even say it, but do you think I might have a shot to enter Sandford, or an Ivy league School? If not everything would be fine, I just want to aim for my biggest shot, Thanks in Advance !! 😀
Man I was going to go to KU but they stopped allowing Kansas City Missouri residents in-state tuition to go. So i took my butt down to Missouri State University
@@Isaiah_McIntosh actually I like studying besides here in Egypt colleges are for free so there is no student debt but I really can't choose the right major for me. I'm so hesitated
hey, Shane basically im an international student and ive got a choice between studying 1 or 2 years at local university and then transfer to a top tier university or studying 4 years abroad at average university? the overall cost is going to be the same for both options however which of the options is better in terms career(employment) and future prospects?
Go for something convenient for your learning. And please choose a real good major that could help you out in the future.. It's not just about the uni you went to, It's also you as a whole package, your skills and your major which will get you through employment. Plan ahead, which company are you targeting.. Research if they pay more for graduates from top tier uni then decide from there. Good luck!
So for someone that wants to pursue a Phd, lets say in finance/something in business, would you recommend them pursuing a doctorate straight out of a masters degree, or waiting until later on in life to start that process? Thanks!
@@ShaneHummus I live in Europe so, you wouldn't know the name. It's not one of the two most prestigious colleges in my country, it's probably the third most important of the colleges. However, that means little in foreign countries. The online course I was doing was apart of a scheme to provide adults with working jobs a means of receiving qualifications. It suited me as I had to stay at home for personal reasons and accommodation in my country is one gigantic scam. Your videos have really opened my eyes as to how college doesn't necessarily equal success.
Hello Shane, I want to know if paying 6k a year for Simmons a small liberal college in Boston or paying nothing for UMass Boston is better. I need your help ASAP. Best, Hind

1. Figure out what you're good at, balance that between what is economically stable and profitable.
2. Search and sort best programs for your field of choice. Ask about alumni and internship opportunities. Do you need to do a residency year with core classes? Most of the Ivy leagues require this and phenomenal racial and interpersonal ability. It sucks to say it, but an incredibly smart immigrant with brown skin and well educated parents beats out the brown kid from the states. Coming from an immigrant country bumps up your application in some of these universities, especially if you are in humanities (politics related) or sciences. Retaining and encouraging skilled immigrant workers is always laudible, bug coming from a disadvantaged neighborhood in America versus Guatemala with an increased English fluency puts you higher in the greater needs category. Transfering to an Ivy, or getting in as a working adult who doesn't hold another B.A or B.S makes transfer or direct entry to an Ivy almost impossible.
3.Allocate finances, applying for scholarships, and saving money (you will have to skimp somewhere but the grind is worth it). After balancing your wants and needs to a precipitous degree,always make sure the University you attend has networking potential. If not that, change jobs into a co-related field and make connections there, pointing out you're studying. Getting good grades, if you bring this up to an employer will help.
4.Apply, gather study resources and attend class. Make your study and play environment conducive to learning without distraction while still saving some time per day and per week to do something fun.
5. Pick local volunteer groups and make new friends or acquaintances. Your reputation if they recognize you is on the line but otherwise, they may have others that can help you if you're really struggling for learning and emotional skills. Soft skills in any industry matter as much as your schooling.
6. Finish school with good grades (they're your first barrier as newborn grad). Build a resume if you didn't have an internship. Learn company recognizance skills and ask if your school has an intern/student career alumni service center. Either before or after you graduate they can help. At the community college level, I had someone willing to coach me through mock interviews while checking my resume. Student services don't end until after graduation.
7. Volunteer. It's both a good thing for the community and your interpersonal skills but a bad thing because you may lack industry expert feedback. Call managers or recruiters or put out emails asking for job/skill requirements. For some, portfolio links and spare projects are as important as the degree and form interview questions. Company culture may or may not fit your personality or security clearances. New hires for government work are slow with less flexibility to get in compared to a veteran. (Both a good and bad thing.) For security purposes there's somethings a civilian is useless for unless you somehow beat out the competition by being the last applicant standing. If you have a prior record, expect civil service to be very difficult to get into.
Always enjoy your videos! Keep up the great work, Shane.
Thanks man!
I went to community college because of my grades not being as high to go directly to a 4 year college. In community college, I paid 20% out of pocket, which was about 50 dollars, and 80% was paid by financial aid because my family were low income. After transfered to SFSU for anthropology, financial aid paid the full amount and I got what was left over. I graduated from SFSU in anthropology with no student loan debt while living in at home just commuting to the city, but had many friends that were in my department, living the city had thousands dollars in debt when they got out. Some were already working in Starbucks.
Thanks for sharing that Dolores Rosas. Best of luck to you
Good stuff man, your half way to your first 1000! Just liked this video
Going to Liberty. I regret it, planning on dropping out after my current classes are over and going to another school.
I love your advice and I will definitely follow it.
Through community college I was able to get an 80 thousand dollar bachelor's degree for 20 thousand dollars.
Hey, If you don’t mind me asking… what is the degree? have you been able to find a job with it? debating whether to attend a university or community college for a Supply chain management degree. Thanks in advance
@@erikzhagui1851 I got a bachelor's degree in biochemistry from RPI. I was able to find to find a job and later I was able to get an MS and PhD as well.
So glad I went to community college. Best decision I’ve made
I go to a school that’s over 60k a year but it’s only pay $2000. If it weren’t for my scholarships I would be in huge trouble.
My backup school right now is UC Santa Barbara (#5 best public school in the US) if I don't get into UC Berkeley (#1 best school in the US)
Thank You, your channel is very helpful
You make excellent points. I would like to add though that there are colleges that are free, such as college of the ozarks. Going to public university is fine, but the flagship state schools are so much harder than small private colleges. Going to both, and if healthcare is your goal, I can honestly say if I would rather go to a small private university with direct degree programs. There are straight 6 year programs for pharmacy, physical therapy and med school. in state schools you go in with an intended major, as opposed to private universities/colleges. Some private colleges have such amazing scholarship packages that they are at the same price of state schools or even cheaper, with smaller class sizes, and more teacher interaction.
Thanks for watching Ann
Could you make a video on how you can get get in state tuition, when you coming from a different state
Good idea.. I might consider that.. Thanks =)
>just move to the state that your college is in
Usually you have to officially reside in that state for 2-3 years
Late as hell but I'd definitely appreciate your thoughts on how to get around out of state tuition at the big colleges like UCLA. The only way I know if is to live in the state for at least a year, with a parent-or by yourself, in which case you'd have to demonstrate financial independence from your parents, which is extremely difficult. There are many other stipulations, and if you make the slightest mistake it's over.
It's really hard to get around out of state tuition. Schools like UCLA or Michigan are excellent on virtually any standard, probably the tier below the very best like Harvard & Stanford and certainly the best publics... but if you can't afford to pay OOS just don't apply. That's my advice. Unless you can actually move out to Cali or Michigan or wherever and get in-state tuition. It would really suck paying the application fee, getting accepted, and having to decline them because of exorbitant out of state fees.
I might have that as my future topic
My cousin is doing the CC route for nursing while I (already have 12 college credit hours) have decided to do the University route. I may do double colleges and get it all done.
These videos are amazingly helpful!
6:49 ivy's accept almost zero transfer students, way lower than the already minuscule freshman acceptance rate
So the only thing I will say is that currently many employers are offering to pay for full tuition for their employees. Most of the schools under their umbrella are actually the For-Profit school you spoke about. Not saying that you are wrong because for someone coming out of high school they definitely should not go to those schools. However, I have seen people in director and executive roles with degrees from these schools, so I think if your employer is going to pay for it don’t just shove it off. Do your research and make your own decision.
i was in a really hard place because i got a full ride to a state school (university of delaware) and i also got into an ivy league (upenn) but would have had to pay full price $89,000/year 😭 i don’t qualify for financial aid but that would have given me $200,000 in debt. i ultimately decided on delaware!
What are your thoughts on military academy’s such as West Point? The median income of a West Point graduate is around 140,000 dollars, but u have to serve for 5 years after graduation. Thanks!
That is actually a good topic.. I'll look in to that soon =)
I just got accepted into westpoint and can give you some of my knowledge on the outlook of a graduate. Once you're out of a college you serve as an officer for 5 years, the salary plus benefits of a starting officer is around 60k and increases with every promotion. You won't have any debt as westpoint is free, (they even pay you 12k a year as pocket money) also the degree you get will most likely be a stem degree ( as a required percentage of degrees given by the academy have to be) once you do your five years of service you have a stem degree and 5 years of leadership expierience whcih I imagine is extremely marketable to most companies. A lot of grads start their own buisnesses too
Today was my first day of community college ! 😃
Good luck!!
As someone studied in a different country, it's pretty crazy to hear how many students change majors. Over here in the Netherlands you basically HAVE to pick while applying, because if you switch majors you have to start the 4 full years over.
Thanks for watching Arjan
U really changes life's my daughter l was about to force her going for med school but am very sure she can't Bec she hate stress l will live her to choose any course she good at
Lovin the vids keep killin it and ima smash these like buttons

Hi Shane, love your videos! Any suggestions for international students who have finished their Bachelor's degree, and have work experience looking for a good university for their Masters's degree?
Thanks in advance! Keep up the great work.
Hey Bilal! I might have a video for you. Stay tuned
Yes please!
If you do know what you want to do as a degree go to a community college/trade school. If your degree that has a base in a trade job like machining for say mechanical engineering or something related get that understanding of how things are done in the fields. For example know how parts are made before going and start designing parts. (Machines and engineering field) also you can get really good paying jobs to work as you go to school.
Thanks for your input
Thank You!
I would say that even if you get into a prestigious private university you need to know how to pay for it and you need to know that you can do it. You can go to a public, in-state university for almost nothing comparably, especially if you are a good student, and you'll probably stand out from others in your class and build connections easier. College is a lot of mental strain, and especially at an Ivy League, you're lucky just to make it to the end. I'm fairly sure most people go to college for some period of time nowadays, but only a third of America has a college degree.
Why do you pay less for for-profit colleges than for private non-profit? Aren't they supposed to be non-profit?

I’m deciding between UTRGV and UT Austin. UTRGV has given me enough money to cover all tuition and most costs however with UT Austin I don’t think I’ll have enough to pay for everything with the money they give me and the scholarships I have earned, but UT Austin is a more prestigious school. I’m not sure which one to go with
Yes please make a video about how to pay in state tuition while being/coming from out of state
Thanks for your suggestion.
I am studying in a California community college and preparing to transfer to UCR as a Computer Engineering student. Even though I can transfer to the local state university saving up to 4K a year. I think it is worth.
Sounds like a good plan EGOIST. Good luck
Hi shane, i have made a big mistake of choosing to do Alevel from uk. And the college is quite expensive.
I thought i was paying for education. But this place doesnt even have the A of a functional school. I dont think i can legally do anything for all the damage they have done. I am trying to find uni in uk. But the reviews they have are atrocious. I am losing hope.
Make a video on how to get in state tuition without living there please.

I love a video like that Shane Hummus
Hi Shane, I am Anshu. I highly admire your TH-cam videos as I have learnt a lot from it. I am confused which college should I choose? Ithaca college or NYIT for Pre medicine. Your channel makes it easier for international students like me to understand various topics related to colleges in the US. Thank you for that!
People wont judge me if I went to any college that is not an Ivy League ?????? I’m just curious and soooo insecure.
I love your videos! Being a college student and watching this has probably saved my bank account lol, also what was your undergraduate degree and why don't you refer yourself as Dr. Shane?
Low key is the key. Cheers!
Can you make one for international students hoping to study in the USA please?
Sure Sandrine Sparkes Connell. That sounds like an interesting topic. Thanks for your suggestion
@@ShaneHummus I second that
1. Affordability
2. Prestige
3. Program for specific major
Really depends on the individuals situation and goals etc
@@ShaneHummus True. But in general, I've seen this work in order. Also, if you have the financial resources to go to a big-name school it would give you an ancillary benefit in most cases.
@@ShaneHummus Also, certain programs can help more than others. For instance, for economics, some programs teach more technical skills than others.
Man, wished I had more time to decide. Was only able to make applications on March 31st after coming back from ft. Jackson. Going to go to Susquehanna University but it costs 64k a year... at least 36k is taken from tuition every year with a scholarship and I have a GI Bill to cover a two years. Still its gonna cost around 50k in debt.
Good luck

Thanks Keynie
My advice, get as much scholarship as you can.
I'm so thankful that I stumbled upon your channel a few days ago and I've been binge-watching your videos ever since.
Would it be possible for you to give advice on how to choose a college outside of the US?

No way you can pay “in state” if you and your family do not live in that state, eh!
Hi, Shane😊 What about Psychology degrees? Are they worth spending time on?

I live in North Dakota and can't afford to pay full tuition for an out of state college, how do I work around this?!
Can you make/recommend a video on subject study habit advice for returning students, i might have to learn something at home like coding or business taking care of others, like i know math needs practice as its like an excercise! Do you know where one can practice math problems gradually to improve?
Great suggestion!
Shane I need advice I just graduated with an AA in business management from community college and found out that I can get my bachelors in that school. I don’t know if to do it cause although I would save a ton of money everyone knows this school as a place to get your AA only. Literally the only major they offer a bachelors degree for is business management so I don’t know if to pay more and go to an in state school since I already have 60 credits and would only have to pay for the last two years. Or stay in my school and graduate either completely debt free or with like $3k loan. Frankly, I’m just scared employers are not going to take my degree seriously because it’s from a known CC
You got this Maria just plan it out. Good luck.,. Cheers!
Hi I am new to the US education system and I am just wondering what is the effect if you transfer the first 2 years of studying to a more reputable state college. So essentially, are you treated as if you have studied in the transfered uni for 4 years?
I might have that as a topic for my future videos
Yes if u transfer u will be their students and don matter where u were before
I would like you to make a video about how to pay in state tuition even if I'm out of state
Hello Shane, what to expect when you have a GPA of less than 3.0? this was my high school GPA in Colombia. I come from another country, but I have learnt pretty good English. I would like to see what is the best possible university I can attend to in the US. I know my GPA is not amazing, but I am committed to have a really good SAT, ACT & TOEFL. I know it sounds illusive to even say it, but do you think I might have a shot to enter Sandford, or an Ivy league School? If not everything would be fine, I just want to aim for my biggest shot, Thanks in Advance !! 😀
Im so glad I found your videos.They are helping me so much. :)
Glad to have you on board Exodus Jr
Do you know anything about LSU engineering, or Auburn or University of Illinois or Rose-Hulman
Man I was going to go to KU but they stopped allowing Kansas City Missouri residents in-state tuition to go. So i took my butt down to Missouri State University
Best of luck with your plans Blake. Cheers!
should you go to community college as an undeclared major and just take general classes or should you declare a major?
I'm too hesitated, computer science or veterinary medicine?!! please help me
Comp sci it is.. good luck buddy! =)
@@ShaneHummus thanks for replying but may I ask why did u choose comp sci?
Donia 1 more job opportunities

@@Isaiah_McIntosh actually I like studying besides here in Egypt colleges are for free so there is no student debt but I really can't choose the right major for me. I'm so hesitated
Did you make the video on how to get in-state tuition if you live out of state?
hey, Shane basically im an international student and ive got a choice between studying 1 or 2 years at local university and then transfer to a top tier university or studying 4 years abroad at average university? the overall cost is going to be the same for both options however which of the options is better in terms career(employment) and future prospects?
Go for something convenient for your learning. And please choose a real good major that could help you out in the future.. It's not just about the uni you went to, It's also you as a whole package, your skills and your major which will get you through employment. Plan ahead, which company are you targeting.. Research if they pay more for graduates from top tier uni then decide from there. Good luck!
Hi Shane, Im stuck between design or nursing, what would you suggest? Thanks
Nursing.. Good luck
So for someone that wants to pursue a Phd, lets say in finance/something in business, would you recommend them pursuing a doctorate straight out of a masters degree, or waiting until later on in life to start that process? Thanks!

What is your opinion on online college courses?
Some are worth it.. some are not.. Which one specifically?
@@ShaneHummus I live in Europe so, you wouldn't know the name. It's not one of the two most prestigious colleges in my country, it's probably the third most important of the colleges. However, that means little in foreign countries. The online course I was doing was apart of a scheme to provide adults with working jobs a means of receiving qualifications. It suited me as I had to stay at home for personal reasons and accommodation in my country is one gigantic scam. Your videos have really opened my eyes as to how college doesn't necessarily equal success.
Hello Shane, I want to know if paying 6k a year for Simmons a small liberal college in Boston or paying nothing for UMass Boston is better. I need your help ASAP. Best, Hind
