COLLEGE MOVE IN 2020 | YALE FRESHMAN YEAR (Australian student!!)

some context for new people/anyone who hasn't been following my yale journey: obviously move in was different this year compared to normal years. BUT due to being an international student and this whole situation going on at the moment, I couldn't get a visa in time to arrive on campus for the start of semester. so I arrived about 6 weeks after everyone else!! so this wasn't what move-in day at yale looked like this year. in this vlog, everyone else had moved in 6 weeks ago so I was the only one arriving. I was taken straight to the room after my on-arrival test, and then had to isolate in my dorm room for 5 days until I got 2 negative test results back. lmk if you have any questions in the comments!!
this vlog was not very exciting (sorry!) but my upcoming videos, especially the ones where I am out and about, are so much more exciting!! you'll get to explore the campus and meet new people with me, so look forward to lots of fun vlogs coming up in the next few weeks xx

it was actually refreshing hearing someone say rubbish bin and not feel weird about it like i always do lol.

[@bangtanlegends9415]

I like how she said she's not gonna join class cause she just traveled across the world😂😂😂😂

[@TiaChitty]

valid excuse? I think so!

[@caitlinb552]

The first item from the big box I’m pretty sure it’s a rug from looking at the bottom!!

[@TiaChitty]

yes hahahaha I have figured that out now 😂

[@bangtanlegends9415]

I like her excitement towards everything I mean it's yale I would be excited too

[@katedaley4517]

Those are laundry loops!! You put your dirty practice clothes on them, put them in a bin (at my school it’s in our locker room) and the athletic’s department takes them, washes them, and drops them back off for you at your locker. So basically free laundry for all your athletic gear!!😃

[@dqrkenedlvstre]

this video came up as an Ad but im so excited for the next few years! definitely keeping updated. lovely to see an Australian youtuber and college goer at Yale!

[@KellyTard19]

You seem so sweet! The fact that you're staying so smiley and positive despite being stuck in a room, having food issues, and no real bedding for your first night is amazing! It's also sweet seeing how excited you are to be there 😌

[@TiaChitty]

aw thank you so much!!! you're too kind 🥰

hey tia! i absolutely love your videos, just wondering, how did you become a student athlete for yale? was it a different process to the common application?

[@feedthecath4025]

Having HOURS and HOURS of uni lectures to do is such a vibe 😂
Will you get to put posters on the wall and fill some of the empty space? ALSO when are they bringing you your fridge and microwave?

[@TiaChitty]

ahaha literally days 😩 yes I've put some things up on the wall - dorm tour coming soon!!

[@gettin-ziggy-with-it]

lol as someone who grew up in new haven i always find it funny watching people who arent from there move to yale cuz the rest of new haven is a hot mess lmao - also I recommend Atticus which is a coffee shop across from the yale art gallery, the York Street Noodle House which do amazing food, Barcelona which do tapas and is good for an evening out, and Bar Pizza which do great pizza and beer and have one that is mashed potato bacon pizza which sounds gross but is actually really good lol

Does Yale assign you each rims in your dorm or just your dorm and then you and you roommates are free to choose who gets which room
