Hi Dari, Amazon will usually replace if the porch pirates take your package. For more expensive items, you can send the items to secure Amazon pick up station. Another option is that your landlord can enter into an agreement with Amazon that allows them to electrically buzz in to place packages in the mailroom where they are safer. I own several buildings in Chicago and I use this option because so many tenant deliveries were being stolen.
Glitter bomb...in capitalism...crime n theft are a guarantee. ..its just survival....ppl living lower than animals or even bugs. Usa is infested....im orkin man.
University of Nebraska Lincoln, nice friendly, and very inexpensive university city. 400,000 population so not overwhelmingly big for those that don't want a huge city. But big enough to have some of the same attractions. Campus is next to town center, lots of apartments around the campus and downtown focused on student housing. And there are a lot of different international dining options in the town, and quite a few shopping centers. Good hosptials.
Again a nice clean safe city in a state and city with a very low cost of living, so great for students on a budget. And they have a decent sized international student body.
How could anyone not want this girl to succeed, such a joyous person!
OMG...I just watched a video of yours from a year ago, and now you English has emproved so much! That's awesome!!
Thank you! 😃
Love the vlog 😍 New York is so beautiful and you can't get bored there. Wish I can visit it someday
Yeah, a gorgeous city!
I’ve been watching CZcams channels about life in Russia so I’m looking forward to following your perspective on American life! Thank you for sharing! Such a fun and interesting video. Wishing you luck!!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Good video Dari.. I like your new friends.
Thank you 🤗
If you turn the knob upside down it will reverse the way it locks and unlocks.
hello Dari I knew that you were a fan of the friends and if you are lucky enough you are not far from the (90) bedford street and corner groove street this is the apartment that we see in the credits of the series and in the first the restaurant the little owl who was the central perk
Very good
Nic video
Every door can be changed the way it turns by the way haha
During the pandemic the number of packages delivered to apartments increased dramatically. Apartments became overwhelmed by the large number of packages and they had to tell delivery services to just drop packages at doors. Most people (like me) never had any packages stolen, so we just continued with door deliveries. If you do have packages stolen you can buy a post office box where packages can be left.
Good to know 😃
Amazon will refund you if something happens. However, it's normal for Amazon to leave the packages at your door. I've never had anyone ever take anything. It's strange, but most people are very honest.
I had a Russian friend who attended graduate school in America. In Russia, she worked as an English translator, but she found it difficult to understand all of the school material in English. So, I was wondering if you have any problems understanding the course work and lectures because it is all in English.
Yes, I don’t understand accounting well because I don’t know many meanings of words
Just let the professor know and he or she will cut you some slack. Also, very important to go to office hours with professors because they like the feedback and when you are making a huge transition like this and there are some language issues, they need to know that usually will be very understanding.@@DariStep
You have such a positive and can do attitude, its inspiring. Keep it up!
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you for showing us around this amazing city, I know you are very busy with your studies, so thanks for your time. 💌💌💌
My pleasure 😊
In the UK, Amazon can deliver to an Amazon Locker which might be outside a supermarket. You can access a locker 24/7. You can also get deliveries to some post offices, garages and shops. Amazon would inform you when your package had arrived at that shop.
Yes I had a huge University town, 1, the place was so big there was even a bus line inside
Omggg!
My son lived in Brooklyn, you cant leave your Amazon packages in front of your building it will get stolen. They have Amazon lock boxes all over town. Pick the nearest one to you and have them delivered there. You have 72 hours to pick the item up using a code that is sent to you in a text message.
A highly enjoyable video,thank you Dari. X
HAVE YOUR LOCAL AMAZON DELIVERY KEPT AT A LOCAL VENUE, STORE OR SUPERMARKET, SHOPPING CENTER. FIND OUT WHAT DROP SITES ARE AVAILABLE. OR BETTER YET, RENT A POST OFFICE BOX.
In my building, if its not brought up to my room, a package will be left in the holding area by the front entrance.
St. John's looks very nice, and I'm glad the scholarship worked out. I'm a bit behind in my video queue, and haven't watched your live stream yet, but happy birthday! 🎂
I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, attended the university of alabama in Tuscaloosa and Tulane law school in New Orleans, both had beautiful campuses and I loved academic life. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
Very cool!
I think the on-line course is a good idea mainly because foreign students come from so many backgrounds and from countries that may not all have the same understanding of the issues as those who grew up in the United States. It helps to put everyone on the same play ground!
I have not seen anyone do such a thorough review of their experience of the first week of MBA. This is truly a first. Additionally, your perspective of a foreigner in NYC is ulta unique and your content is captivating and quality is second to none.
Daría’ you’re awesome. You are very inspirational… I hope for you the best in your studies while there in New York…. To get your MBA funded - wow! Great for you! Enjoying your content from here in Pennsylvania… not far from NY☀️
Thank you so much!
Great points, i agree with you fully. Sadly though; conservatives also use such well meaning things as hateful, reactionary, ideslism...
In 8th grade we all had health class, aka (sex ed.) But I feel it lacked awareness about abuse of all different types of ppl. Hope it gets better still.
Nice tour! Thanks for sharing. As for Amazon packages, some people install a secret camera that always records, other people place a large box outside that locks after a package is placed inside.
That’s a good solution ahaha
Most excellent.
Many thanks!
Please do focus on your education and not worry about uploading a lot. So great about the graduate assistantships!Wonderful video content and editing! 😊
And save some time for sleep!
Thank you! Will do!
It is wonderful to see how quickly you are learning about life in America. Already you smile like an American!
Ahahha I’m always smiling 😂
Because you smile you make life much happier 👍🥳👏
😂😂😂 omg 🤢🤢
Amazon is good about redelivering stole or lost items if you don't abuse it. I had 3 boxes went missing from our mail room. Amazon replaced all three boxes. Funny thing the day the replacements came the 3 missing items showed up so I had double. Amazon didn't want the extras back, it was too expensive to process the return.
Great insight, and video, thank you ...
Glad you enjoyed it!
I hope you have English classes at university where they teach you correct pronunciation
She speaks English so well 👏 Don’t be rude (or jealous).
Great video, Dari. You covered so much in one video. I attended the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa. It's a classic college town with a beautiful hilly campus, including a river in the middle of campus and walkable downtown. And yes lots of sports stadiums also like a 70,000 seat football stadium and 15,000 seat basketball arena. We have numerous other great college towns in the Midwest such as Madison, Wisconsin; Ann Arbor, Michigan; and Bloomington, Indiana.
Thanks for sharing!!
Whoops Jeff just reminded me about my friend in Bloomington who had surgery today. Thanks Jeff!
Great video, Dari! 😀
When it comes to Amazon, it's a little different depending on locations. They used to leave the box right at my door and ring the doorbell, but they installed a Hub (similar to a post office), leave them there and send me a code to get my orders. It's odd that they have no secure place anywhere 🤔.
And yes, I went to a university that was in a smaller city, where the events in town really focused on the campus, so it felt like the town and university were one big community. I go back often, and while it's changed a bit, it was so rewarding to spend my college years there.
Interesting!
In Russia you order a MacBook, and a box of bricks is delivered instead.
Hi Dari, good video and very informative, many thanks. My best regards to you from Germany❤🤗
I know it's probably still a bit crazy for you right now, but be prepared for the culture shock (and homesickness). You'll probably start feeling it a bit after about 2-3 months once you're settled in. But hang in there, it'll get better eventually. Luckily, you're at a school that has other students not from the USA, you can build a nice little support group to get you (and others) through those tough times. Cheers.
Labor Day is to commemorate workers in 19th and 20th century in USA. Big companies in steel, railroads, mining and textiles abused workers and even made children to work. Then labor unions were organized to protect workers. Many died in the process, but soon labor unions were strong. They gave them a liveable wage, hospitalization, vacations and a 40hr work week!
Many conditions are better now due to unions. The AFL-CIO was instituted in 1952, it was originally started by Samuel Gomoers, who was a cigar manufacturer.
Study hard. A campus map will show you where all the buildings are. Good luck!
Australian government is currently releasing an enquiry into how to handle sexual assaults in universities because they are far too common and the universities are doing far too little. Great vlog. Thanks for your efforts, it was the best video yet and very professional.
Normally, I’d pass up NY because its expensive but after hearing your answer, I approve of your choice because your education is covered and your expenses are manageable. That’s the way you should live and you don’t want to face stress about taking care of yourself far from home in a new country! Labour Day is the American version of May Day in Europe, the holiday celebrates the struggles and achievement of workers. September 11, Patriots Day is a holiday that commemorates those who died in the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks on NY and Washington DC. The fall here is about the beginning of the school year, the end of summer and the idea of growing older. Thanks for your video update, best wishes for a successful semester and a good 2023 here in America! Take care and remain blessed.
Thanks a lot Norman 🙌🏼
I guess I'm Russian ...my doorknobs turn like yours !!!!. I love your videos ! You are so talented and such an inspiration !!!
Today I just want to say, you look like a student, you act like a student and you are a GREAT student🤩
So happy too see you thriving and beeing so motivated and happy 😊
Sadly I have gone broke for the next couple of years, so will not be able to donate. Best of luck to you and hope you will have lots of fun 🤗
Thank you! 😃
Looks like its going good everthing looks so green i ben there one time to queens littel much for me not used to big city but iv driven all up and down east coast very nice lot of lakes and rivers for boating and stuff so i hope it gos realy well for you there
So much to say. So let me start off by saying that it's great to see your explorations around New York. Can't wait for you to share more of your impressions, especially aspects of American life that are very different from Russia...or other parts of the world you've visited.
Labor Day is unofficially considered the last day of summer and the beginning of fall. There are different climate zones across the country so it might not necessarily feel that way depending on where you are. At any rate, it's often the last time to take a short vacation before school starts. It's also one of the summer holidays in which people celebrate with a barbecue. Would love it if you could visit a barbeque restaurant in NYC with some of your friends.
Regarding your choice of universities...you made a GREAT choice. You mentioned several factors relating to the cost of the program (which St John's was fully covering)...fantastic! But I'm unsure whether you mentioned the quality of the university. Once you graduate, you'll absolutely want a degree from a university that people know and respect....and people know and respect the business school at St. John's.
Regarding the sexual harassment program....I think it's a perfectly fine thing. I doubt you have time to do a tally, but it'd be interesting to compare responses between guys/gals.
Regarding ordering from Amazon...I help procure tech products for a Fortune 500 company. And I order multiple products for different customers from Amazon every single day. FYI, getting reimbursed by Amazon for lost/missing items is a big hassle. So it's better to ship them to a nearby secure location where they can be picked up. When shipping to apartments I will send items to an Amazon Fresh grocery store OR an Amazon Locker, which allow my customers to retrieve them when they're ready.
BTW, I received my undergraduate degree from UCLA which is in Los Angeles, CA (GO BRUINS!!!). It's one of the largest schools in the nation....had a lecture hall class with over 600 students! Also earned my masters degree from Pepperdine in Malibu, CA.
Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts on so many subjects 😍 and wow, UCLA! Impressive!
Beautiful smart woman living her best life! Should be a tv series!
hahaha
👍👍👍
when you get a chance.. Check out Long Island. If you have a car you can go anywhere. If not the Long Island Railroad will take you to plenty of nice places like Freeport, Port Jefferson, Patchogue, or Montauk to name a few. There are some great restaurants all over the island
Thanks!
You studying to earn a thesis or non-thesis Masters, Dari?
I suppose it’s non thesis program :)
@@DariStep nothing wrong with that unless you want to pursue a Ph D (doctorate). Typically, if you want to pursue a doctorate degree in the future after completing your Masters, then you want to do a thesis Masters degree.
You can use the thesis you wrote in your Master's program as the basis and foundational work to write your dissertation for your doctorate. In most cases, though not necessarily all, you would pursue a doctorate if you are interested in becoming a professor at a university or doing research work.
Personally, I have a Masters degree that is non thesis. A Masters, whether it be a thesis or non thesis, can get you a good pay increase in some professions. It certainly got me a good pay increase in mine.
Dari, thank you so much for sharing a little more of your American adventures with us!
That said, please focus on your studies and only take the time to produce videos when you really have free time. I want you to do well in school.
I appreciate the added viewpoints of your fellow foreign classmates on various topics and their life in the U.S. Keep it up!
It looks like you picked a quality university even if it wasn't hugely expensive compared to some that would put you thousands and thousands of dollars in debt. It's doubly awesome that your tuition is mostly covered and your professors are great to work with! You are a lucky girl! ☘
Amazon has security locker locations you can choose where you can have them deliver your packages. It helps with any porch pirates you might have in the neighborhood.
The only issue is finding a way of transporting larger items from the locker to your apartment without having access to a car, truck, or SUV. This situation of no good options is what people sometimes call a "Catch-22" dilemma.
I continue to wish you the absolute best for your travels and your future life. Have fun in the U.S.A.!! 😊💚
Wow, you're so crafty Dasha, you managed to get a free manicure in exchange for publicity for the salon haha. Very business like and a win win for all. I was a little worried about the rents and especially that you can't access your Adsense revenue, but I think you'll do just fine. Barter is a great survival skill to have❤
Thank you 🤗
Hi Dari, nice to see that you now finally started the classes at your university. It was nice to get the impressions of the university campus and also some other nice places in New York. Looking forward to the next video already.
Thank you! 😃
Come RIGHT in. LEFT to leave.
Labour Day is celebrated in Canada too. Only essential service employees work here on Labour Day. We have family outings, or get together with friends and have a quiet day on Labour Day .
The culture shocks just keep coming, huh? Very enjoyable video it was interesting hearing the opinions of some of your fellow students, more of that please. :) I remember how much I loved being on campus when I was in college. College(s) I should say (mostly University of Houston and University of Texas at Austin) and UT is HUGE. I'm glad you're enjoying your new life. Keep exploring!
Glad you enjoyed it! Will do 🙌🏼
Very interesting video👍
Glad you think so!
For unlocking thr doors, it does vary. I think most newer lockes, you turn the key away from the door frame. I find that more intuative.
Newer lockes?
Glad things are going well for you. It seems like so much has happened since you were on Inside Russia sharing a stream with Konstantin.
Its nice seeing seeing your experiences. Having earned my master's in New York City, its nostalgic watching someone else. Wish you well with your new semester.
Trueee! It feels like it was another life omg
Hello Dari and thank you very much for these interestings updates about your studies and life in New York, which will be really important for your future working life and not onlyl!. That's really great!! Some sacrifices, but in the end great results!! Good luck for everything and take care!💚💙❤️
@1:58 We celebrate labor days with family and friends doing backyard BBQ, go to the park, river or lake and chill drinking beers, than later drive in movies.
Something leisure and relaxing, something to de-stress..... Good luck Dari, i hope to see you in New York with your old friend Natasha and Alina in the future.
Good to see you are on track with everything. After rain comes sunshine 🔆
I went to Virginia Tech, Dari, and was a business finance major. VT is in Blacksburg, VA and basically the whole town is a university town both on and off campus. There were lots of big dormitories on campus and apartments off campus, definitely a student town. I loved it there, some of the most beautiful mountains scenery in the US. Glad you’re enjoying the urban vibe of NYC😊
Choke a Hokie!
Wow this sounds just amazing 🤩
I love Virginia, but I doubt VT is a good place for international students in terms of social life. Maybe I am wrong. What do you think?
@@kingdomofgeorgia1751 definitely wrong, VT is one of most diverse schools in the US esp since most of the students come from northern VA or the Norfolk area.
@@stevepool8034 Thank you.
I'm glad you're studying at a good university in New York. As a 77-year-old grandfather, I only wish that you gain useful knowledge and prosper in life. In the past, you could only go to Moscow, or in the GDR to study abroad from Budapest. Back then it was Bolshevism, today's world is more open. I studied here in Budapest, and the standard was high at our university. In my opinion, studying at home is more beneficial, but it is easier to acquire language skills abroad.
Regarding Amazon packages--
they are really good with returns regarding that. I had an issue where the package wasn't delivered / was lost or stolen, and their policy typically is:
" did you ask your neighbors? not there? hm. wait to see if it shows up tomorrow, and if it doesn't, come back and ask for a refund " lol
if you are nervous about theft though, you could have them deliver to a PO box instead :)
Hi Dari, great video and so good you take the time to do them for us. Wow, loved your nails what an amazing job! Also totally love your college outfit, so modern and stylish yet looks so professional and it really suits you. Such a contrast to a few months ago when you lost your suitcase and had nothing to wear! Be prepared though, I believe NY winters are really cold!
Hi Dari good to see your doing well and settling in,,look after yourself and take care
University of Maryland, College Park MD. A lot of nightlife opportunities, located obviously very close to DC and Baltimore so plenty to do. Labor Day, bbq beers football and friends. And yeah Amazon will redeliver or refund your bread back if a box gets stolen.
Go to Port Washington. Unobtrusive, but a nice little North Shore Long Island Town. Direct Trains from Central Station.
I really enjoyed this video!
that cemetery you were in has one of America's Founding Fathers in it: Alexander Hamilton -- the chief architect of our financial system.
Good to know!
You are so amazing I could listen to you talk all day thank you for all the videos. Much love from Virginia USA
Delivery is a problem. Yes they leave stuff outside everywhere and things get stolen. Its a very bad system.
Labor day is a big picnic, barbecue day or the last day of summer at the pools.
Sorry about the food issues. Good idea to go to restaurants from other countries. Eating at home is cheaper. Hugs! 😘
glad you're having such a good time! :D your future is bright ^_^
oh, and I agree about the classes thing - yes, they should be taken. we still take them at my job, lol - it's a requirement XD
keep staying positive and all the best :)
Hey Dari, thanks for the updates! Glad everything is going great for you. With schooling, I would expect to see less video postings from you as you turn your focus on your Education! Keep those grades up! Anyway, your lucky your Amazon packages were not stolen. I can't remember, but I thought Amazon has pickup locations, were you go there and retrieve your stuff (Not sure if there is extra cost, but safer than it laying on the floor in the hall of a large apartment building). And since they take a picture of it delivered, I believe you would get stuck with paying for something that is not there.
Also: There is a show on TV here called Man versus Food, where he takes on food challenges. Saw an episode where the host was in New York City and stopped by Patsy's Pizza (Oldest pizza place in NY). It reminded me of your first slice and thought, maybe you should drop in and get a slice! Hoping that someday, I'll get there and do the same (plus a ton more)!
Question: When you were in Barcelona, it did not seem that there would be a place to top that. So, does NY fit the bill (I think the smile gives your answer away)? 😁😁
Ahahha you can’t compare NYC and Barcelona - they are wayyyy different
You should make a trip to the beach in New Jersey. Very nice cute towns there.
Maybe one day!
Labor Day is essentially America’s May Day. May Day’s origins are from the Haymarket Riot in Chicago in 1884 when labor unions were pressing nationwide for an 8-hour work week.
In order to celebrate the labor movement, but avoid the celebration of May Day and the Haymarket incident, the federal government moved the holiday to September. Labor Day is typically considered the official end of summer. It’s actually tradition that some summer clothing (like seersucker) should not be worn after Labor Day.
Thanks for sharing!
Actually, the direction you turn a lock to open or close the door is not standardized in the US. I can be either way. Although most doors have the door knob on right when facing the door from outside and you usually turn the key clockwise to lock it, sometimes, it's opposite.
Interesting 🤔
Finding all the free things. Great! Love the nails.
Thank you! 🤗
Great video, Dari. It's interesting, fun, and easy to watch, along with very nice editing. 👍
Thanks so much! 😊
Just to add that most universities in North America have campuses; that is a territory that is unique to the university. In some bigger cities this many not be completely true as parts of the campus may be integrated into the local community.
Thoroughly enjoyed the video Dari. You really showed us a lot. Even though I live in the US I have only been to NYC once and I did not have a chance to see St. John's University so thanks for showing us some of that. This is an exciting opportunity for you so I hope that you continue to really enjoy it even though I know it's going to be a lot of work. I did go to a University in Florida and it's definitely in a College town. Thanks for sharing and I am really looking forward to your next video.
I was accepted to the University of Florida. It was my second priority 😊 but I didn’t receive any scholarships 😭
@@DariStepWow no scholarship funds. That's bad on their part. I actually graduated from Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida.
Everything for a reason so I believe you ended up at the University that you were destined to go to so everything worked out for the best. St. John's is an excellent College. Proud of you!
I'm so shy in this video! hahahaha.. Dasha, it's very interesting to watch, even for me, even though I live it all here... Keep it up! Looking forward to more of your videos!
Thank you! 😃
Looks like you're doing great, I knew you would. Have you heard from your friends Natasha and Alina?
It would be nice if they paid a visit.
Great vlog, Dari. You look so happy.
Thank you!! 😊
so who gonna tell dari she holding Iphone upside down.. but just an act..
Ahahaha I was recording the sound 😂
Hey Dari... go SJU!! I grew up in that neighborhood, even graduated High School in Alumni Hall on the SJU campus. Your in a great area. SJ is one of the oldest college basketball teams in the US. They've had some down years, but expectations are high this year. Check out some history of the team. You'll find great food up and down Union Turnpike. Best of luck and enjoy it all!!
Yeah I heard about their new basketball coach! Exciting ☺️
@@DariStepwe're looking forward to you report after you go to a game.
I'm glad you are doing well so far.
Officially Labor Day is a National holiday given to honor US workers and the Labor Movement. Most people don't think about its true meaning and only consider it the last chance of the summer season to have picnics and partiies with friends and family. Some cities have parades to celebrate.
Thanks for sharing :)
Glad all is working out and you're enjoying yourself. 😊❤
Yes! Thank you!
the little owl restaurant 90 Bedford St, New York, (was the fictional location of central perk) right under monica and chandler's apartment
Americans don't say "University town" but "campus", and almost every American university has a campus which is separate from the surrounding town/city.
Some especially newer urban universities are intermixed, as the University grows building by building, like VCU in Richmond.
St. John's is old enough, and much of Queens new enough, to probably have been acquired as a single plot of land.
I's time for you to get a NY picture ID.
Greetings from Moscow!
And yeah, Amazon just sent you a new parcel, trust level is pretty high in the US
WHEN YOU GET A BREAK FROM YOUR STUDIES(FOR EXAMPLE, SPRING BREAK, TAKE A TRIP TO WASHINGTON D.C(AMERICA'S CAPITAL)
Also a bus to Boston.
Amazon often delivers to wrong address, too. Not always stolen.
Fantastic video! Thank you for posting. I love your positivity and excitement. Find your balance and enjoy every day! Loved the dancers on the subway.
Thanks so much!!
YOU CAN SHARE THE POST OFFICE BOX CHARGE WITH YOUR ROOMATE, BECAUSE THE CHARGE IS HIGH.
