    hi may! i love your videos sm, but do you think you could film a video talking about your experience at brown university so far (such as the general mental health there, the professors, classes, vigor level, etc). thank uuu:-)

    Just got rejected from Brown, so now I get to make myself sad by watching these lmao! Between USC and Cal for me right now so it's not like I don't have choices, but damn I really do love Brown :(

    Hi May! I was wondering if you could talk about being pre-med in one of your next videos, like your thoughts so far, how you choose your classes, resources from Brown that are specific to help pre-med (if any), etc. Love your videos! I'm a senior in hs and your vids really helped with the college application process. Still dreading ivy day though...

  • @LeoneFarquharson
    @LeoneFarquharson 6 ปีที่แล้ว +67

    Could you explain your choices of classes, your intended career/dream job + how Brown has facilitated your interests being fostered? I'd love to know. Thanks for sharing your Day, it was really nice to watch.

    Stick with pre-med. I am in a nurse and it's the most rewarding job you could possibly imagine!

  • @RosyTa
    @RosyTa 6 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    When you said that it was in the 50's in Providence I was honestly really shocked and then when you added that it's California weather, I was even more shocked, considering that I live in SoCAL. It's currently in the high 60's/ low 70's and it barely touches the 50's. I just found it funny, keep up the great work! ♥️☀️

  • @Justjess29
    @Justjess29 6 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    I'd love to hear your opinion on how to decide what to major in, what career you want to have, etc it'd be interesting to see you and your friends share your experiences!

    Hi May! I love your channel so much! Brown is famous for liberal learning, such as learning differences of cultures and evaluation of human behaviour. Could you share more about your liberal learning experiences? Thankssss!

  • @KateMarsh1
    @KateMarsh1 6 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    hey! I'm really loving your videos :) how's the mental health of everyone on campus? I'm just interested to know, since a lot of elite schools are known for causing problems on that front. your videos are so helpful btw!

    • @WendyGonzalezmed
      @WendyGonzalezmed 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Kate Marsh I love this question Kate! I’m a junior here at Brown and let me just says CAPS (counseling and psychological services) is always full of people. Mental health is very easy to let slip away in college because there are so many things to do it is our last. What’s important is to stay mentally healthy and put it first by practicing techniques early on such as mindfulness so that they’re second nature before starting college !! :) not just brown it’s an issue in The US as a whole and in colleges you will find depression, anxiety, mood disorders anywhere you go.

    Good morning, I was wondering if you could share some "college essentials" that you absolutely need for college. Thanks, and thanks for the video!

    • @WendyGonzalezmed
      @WendyGonzalezmed 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Kenny Jung uhh such a great idea! I’m a junior at Brown and my two most important college essentials are my laptop because every class I need it! And good walking shoes : my sneakers and birkinstocks hard footbed I have back issues and flat feet so gotta stay comfy on those long campus walks 🌸🌸🙈🙈🙈

    I go to JWU which is literally a 15 minute walk from Brown! I'm on Brown's campus so much I'm surprised I've never saw you before, but this video is really cool and it's nice to see other people who go to school in Providence!

    Hi May! I found out that I got into Brown a couple days ago and I just wanted to thank you for all your videos! I remember watching your How I Got Into The Ivy League video months ago and thinking I would never get in. However, your advice helped a lot and now I'm excited to be joining the class of 2022! Maybe I'll see you on campus haha.

    Hi May,
    my morning wasn’t that great to be honest.
    Everyday I see my crush and know that I will never have a chance... I laugh with him, I talk to him, I look at him but he is just a friend. He will never be more. I don’t know how long I can deal with that.. It hurts sooo much. Sometimes I wish I had never met him so I wouldn’t have to feel those butterflies in my stomach while realizing that he will never be mine. He is my first serious love.

  • @lorenag7488
    @lorenag7488 6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    hi May!! I was wondering how difficult the courses are at Brown and if there is a particular personality trait that makes up most of Brown or is it evenly spread out (ex. introverts, extroverts, nerds, athletes, etc.)?

  • @seabassimmonen
    @seabassimmonen 6 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Also, a question to add for your Q & A Vid: is dorm social life a thing or is it pretty much everyone friends with everyone, plus how does that affect the party scene?

  • @nealaguo9814
    @nealaguo9814 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    the moment where u were talking about having an existential crisis and mentioned considering switching to lit/arts... that was my ENTIRE first year of university! i'm majoring in Economics at the University of Melbourne and i often wondered whether it was better to switch to a literature major. in the end i realised that sometimes when there are just so many good choices out there, it's easy to get paralysed methinks

  • @sashachuchula7057
    @sashachuchula7057 6 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Please do video research and how to get into clinical research project, it’s really important for me!! By the way i love your videos!

    • @WendyGonzalezmed
      @WendyGonzalezmed 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Sasha Chuchula I will tell you how it’s not hard! I’m wendy a junior at brown :) you pick the top 3 people you want to research with ! 1. You go on pubmed or google scholar type in their name, and read 2-3 papers from each researcher which you will have free access to in college. 2. You email them asking them one question about their papers and that you are interested in research with them 3. You meet have a few insightful questions prepared ask them about their journey in research and ask if they have a project you can join. ONE or all of them will say yes 🙈🙉 once you start college I will gladly help you draft emails ☺️😊

    When she said “the weather has been so nice it’s only 50 something degrees” I remembered the time I went to Disney and it was 55 degrees and I was FREEZING, other girls were just walking around in shorts lol. I live in Puerto Rico so “nice” weather for me is 80, we’re always on the 90 degrees and up

    Hey there! I hope you are doing great at Brown, I just wanted to ask if there is something like popularity in Brown. I would guess no because of the types of people and the reason they are there isn’t that one but the concept of popularity drains me and I’m tired of it so I really want a university where I’ll care about true friendships, not popularity
