as a university student in the Netherlands I become more confused and worried for (prospective) students in the USA each time I watch a college video. the mental pressure of getting into really good schools, then often having to sacrifice so much of you and your family's financial stability in order to study there, which leads to more pressure... I don't mean to be rude because I do see how amazing some of these colleges are and obviously I have never experienced it myself, but it seems very problematic. I find it incredibly concerning that Americans think it is normal to have insane student debt... that must be so unhealthy. and the whole concept of extensive financial aid also bothers me - if the majority needs financial aid to survive the school, doesn't that ring the alarm that tuitions in general are too high? Financial aid is supposed to be for those in dire need. If the majority is in such need, there is a problematic system. I wish the US government would do something about this, because this whole college/university system seems really unfair, from what I've seen.
Preach
If only we could live in your college world
@@poyoyoyi lol I wish you could!
You can get an okay college education here for a reasonable amount. A person could hypothetically go to community college for two years and then transfer to a state school to get a bachelor’s degree. The one downside to this is that these schools aren’t as prestigious as say Stanford or an Ivy League. And that, unfortunately, matters.
well if you get into a top 10 school you automatically get your full meet need so for students from low income that's incredible :D
Everything nazjaa hate about Stanford:
1. Stanford Bubble
2. Lack of access to restraunts and fast food (Can order food)
3. Wifi sucks - disconnect a lot
4. Unessary fee for everything
5. Tuition is very expensive
6. Have to apply to many things after getting into the school (clubs, classes)
7. Quarter system (break time is not the same as other college)
8. Flake culture and duck syndrome
9. Administration doesn't really listen to student concerned
10. Imposter syndrome
11, Mailing system (lost mail or delayed mail)
Thank you nazjaa!
better believe i was refreshing for this video. you’re channel is so fun yet informative. i look up to you a lot.
thank you so much!!
You should make a video addressing the pros/cons of picking a college far from home. How hard was it to adjust etc. I’m from Atlanta and will be attending college in New York (either Columbia or Cornell) and would like some advice.
awesome suggestion!! thank you, I will!!
also congratulations!!! tough choice ahead
What’d you choose? Congrats btw!
cornell has really good ice cream my sister goes there haha
Just got accepted into the class of 2024
Congrats!!
Hey congratulations, what did you to get accepted ? (Grades, sports, etc.)
мιlкү ωαү I was a varsity golf athlete for 4 years, had a 4.0 gpa, took 2 AP classes my junior year and am taking 3 this year.
@@bubbao6209 if you'd like to share, what were your SAT and ACT scores?😊
bubba o congrats!
Is it just me or Nazjaa is just a mood😂
🤣🤣🤣
coronavirus really displayed some major issues at these so called “elite” institutions. Like I love my school (Go Tigers!) but the handling of corona really showed deep institutional flaws that are really only being addressed cause students themselves are actively advocating for change.
what type of institutional flaws?
do you go to princeton?
@@spensh1 yes
Oooh I would love to hear a rant about the price of college and issues in higher education in general! You should upload videos discussing social/political issues you are passionate about!
Aha yes!! thank you for the suggestion, it’s definitely something I will consider!
Thank you for putting out content I’ve been searching for!
Could you go over the quarter system/trimester ? I’m still trying to figure that part out and how it all works. Also love your content it’s informative and fun!
Lmfaoo wow wtf this really opened my eyes. I thought Stanford was perfecttt and all
No institution is perfect! Always keep that in mind.
Yo I love your videos. I can’t wait for the college application process because of you. I’m signing up for QuestBridge and your video was super helpful. Thanks!!!
aww thanks so much!! good luck with everything!!
Mohamed Coulibaly Same dawg! Imma do it too let’s get into too stanford together
Jerome Mushi That’s what’s up! We can do this
Could you do a video about scholarships and tips for up coming seniors! Thank you so much! Love your video! 💗
English is my third language and speech of most the native speakers is struggling me sometimes, but yours is amazing! I really like it because it`s clear and understandable
Omg I loved this!!! Thank you for being so informative!!! How are you even allowed to post something like this??😭😭 we don’t wanna risk you getting in trouble with the school!! We know how annoying they can be sometimes😩
Hey Nazjaa, I was class of '91. Funny how some of these were issues back then too. One difference was we didn't have guaranteed housing so I lived off campus for a couple years. I saved a lot of money but it meant I lived in the town, close to restaurants and fast food and rode my bike to campus. Also, we didn't even have wi-fi because no internet yet! Pretty much everything else was the same. Duck syndrome, haha. We talked about that when I was there. I wish I could do it all again.
Can you make an essay advice video for people applying to various scholarships and college in general. I read your essays and they’re phenomenal. A video with some tips and tricks would be so helpful! I love your channel and you inspire me a lot
Ahh yess of course!! I’ll do more application advice closer to the summertime for people who get started early :) thanks for the suggestion!!
i am currently fifteen and its been my dream to go to stanford since i was twelve
@@faynawang7082 Both your parents had legacies? Im jealous.
@@faynawang7082 Grad school is a lot easier to get into than undergrad. Also, do you get legacies if your parents were grad students? Cause then I get a Duke legacy :)
Watching this after I was rejected 😭. Lessens the pain
David Li damn sorry bro
@@anoushkab1079 it's okay i got into harvard and yale so it's between those two lol
David Li damn nice job
@@anoushkab1079 lol thanks
@@davidli5155 mentor me master
thank a lot for this! can't wait for the pros!
coming soon!! ☺️
Sike I’m just gonna watch this cuz I can’t get into Stanford and wanna feel better 😎
😂😂😂😂😂
That's funny af
But if you're serious about your comment, just know you're amazing wherever you are😎
Hey Nazjaa! Thank you so much for this video! I'm a Stanford 2024 admit and almost commit! Could you do a video at some point about work-study and job opportunities? Thank you so much!
I'm a current student - my experience with work study and jobs has been great! There are so many opportunities to work and get that $$. Stanford has multiple portals/websites that help with your job/work study, depending on your interests. I've been able to both work abroad on Stanford's $$ and currently work multiple lab jobs (even remotely now cuz of covid). Really accomadating and great experience
Hey, can you also please make a video on your common app essays which got you in stanford ?
sure!
Stanford is my DREAM SCHOOL and I really appreciate these videos bc ur FR TYSM I LUV UUU 💓💓
Do you already have a video on other pros/cons of quarters system? If not, it would be sooo appreciated!
thank you for showing me some of the cons of Stanford. :)
thank you for watching ☺️
I like you. The way you talk like a good rapper. its cool😂
I feel like "flake culture" isn't stanford specific: people in college are busy and have a lottt going on (esp if ur involved in a lot of diff things). That, however, definitely isn't an excuse and leads to me say "You make time for who/what is important" -- which honestly is just life, and means people need to reflect on who they're trynna connect with
facts!! i agree!
Can you do a video on day one in your life as a psychology student. I also want to major in psychology
me being from new york and i see people from atlanta or florida posting on their snap going to the pool in may makes me so jealous, when schools in new york get out late june... so i go here it won’t affect me and i’m glad
same I’m from Chicago though.
hey :) i just wanted to know how much do u get with financial aid and how do we can get financial aid ?
when she whipped out her phone to demonstrate how it be when the wifi goes out 🤣🤣💀
What about the culture shock at Stanford? (being a minority on campus)
Super early! :D
heyy 😁
I think I do the same thing because when I was ready for high school I pick Taft thing I wish before coming there
I loved this video very informational quick question is there any job opportunities on campus?
thank you! and yes there’s many!!
Can you do a video on it. But like when the air clears, if u can't do it rn
Thanks for recommend
HOW DID YOU MOVE YOUR DORM ROOM ITEMS THERE? COLLEGEBOXES?
So if you have 3 terms per year, does that mean that most Stanford students finish their degree requirements and graduate in 3 years as opposed to the “traditional” 4-year track at semester-based schools? Thoughts on that?
No we still graduate in 4 years, it just takes more “units” than semester schools (i think lol)
Can you make a video about stanford shuttle? I haven't been able to find much info on it. Is it convenient to go to walmart?
the stanford shuttle is called the marguerite! you can learn all about it at transportation.stanford.edu/marguerite
going to walmart takes a while, around ~40min-1hr each way :'( pretty inconvenient
Sorry please talk about the quarter system please the pro's and cons
Can you tell us more on how you got a full ride to Stanford?
stanford offers 100% need-based financial aid, so she probably qualified for full tuition because of her financial situation
This is really good! Your administration should listen to students more like other t20 schools.
Hopefully we’ll make progress on that! They get a few things right, just need to improve.
nazjaa yeah! I’m going to try improving that at washu as well. Washu is literally a smaller version of Stanford 🤩😂 glad I got to talk with you while my channel is rising. Hope to connect in the future!
lol the mailing system one is what its like living in a rural area except rural living can be worse
The Wifi being disconnected is a big deal...that would ANNOY me. And I agree the fees sound ridiculous, including tuition. God bless~
what majors were some transfer students you have met? :)
what majors were some transfer students you have met? :)
sorry i don’t know the answer to that :(
Hotel California i.e the Stanford Bubble :+) I went to University of Pittsburgh...we had culture, city and variety all around us...easy to get around too:+) God bless~
love you
have you met transfer students from community college at Stanford? what major were they? :)
have you met transfer students from community college at Stanford? what major were they? :)
When you said that you had to pay almost 80,000 do you mean for your entire like four years or per semester?
For one year
You say: "Honestly I haven't encountered duck syndrome" and "It's not really something that I really dislike" but you chose to include it in a video titled "EVERYTHING I HATE About Stanford University". I think that really says it all.
I’m a Stanford graduate and I don’t have anything bad to say about Stanford.
I think you should go cheaper school not IVY ONE
Why do you wear a bindi
To connect me to my culture, I’m half indian and half black. I just wear it because I like to.
nazjaa ooo that’s so cool i’m half indian half black too
@@nazjaa SO ARE YOU a practising HINDU?
because bindi is all ab out hinduism and the "3rd Eye"
@@YashKansalx dude, stop grilling her... shes indian so its her culture as well. As long as its not culture appropriation then its fine.
Forgot to add extra 0 on 32,000 nah it's 320,000
This has been my dream school since I was 10.
I really hope u apply and gets through in GOD GRACE.
Not being funny but if one can afford to be at a university that costs $80,000 then printing paper cost???...come one man...perspective
80K per year...they should be giving you free EVERYTHING, including daily massages. And yes, college education is a racket. Apply to classes? That is crazy. God bless~
$80,000×4 year's=$32,000 holy f*ck I can't afford that
STANFORD WIFI EXACTLY HAHA
Ur Indian right? What part of India like what Language
Go Bears!
Do you really love Stanford or do you hate Stanford?
Some of the people in the comments are so salty lol
I had absolutely 0 desire to ever go to Stanford, none, and that Bubble thing sounds exactly as i imagined Stanford to be like. Glad i didn't bother.
Can you just use your car? Lmao
if you can afford one! not everyone can. plus this was my freshman year and freshmen aren’t allowed to have their cars on campus.
Go to Berkeley Stanford admits. It's cheaper, better and way more fun. You pay for what you get unlike stanford!!!!!!!!!!1
Shhhh keep it a secret. I still need to get in berkeley 😅
Shhhh keep it a secret. I still need to get in berkeley 😅
San Francisco is 35 miles away, what do you mean there isn't a city nearby? Stanford is a PRIVATE school, if you want a cheaper price go to a public university that's what I do. All of these things you "hate" are comical.
Since you do not go to Stanford, your comment on MY experience and MY opinions is irrelevant. You cannot relate. When you are a low income, busy college student, a city 35 miles away is not close, nor is traveling there easy or cheap. As for the price, my comment was directed at college education in general. Like I said, I luckily don’t have to pay, but my classmates do. Low and (some) middle class students can’t pay thousands of dollars over 4 years, private university or public. Literally everyone has the right to complain about the price of a college education in America. Thanks for watching.
@@nazjaa As a low income individual, I chose a place that fits my income. If you chose a high income area to go to school that's your choice. Complain about your choices some more please.
So, by that logic, poor people should only live in poor environments? Make that make sense please. I CHOSE to pursue an amazing opportunity at one of the best schools in the country, hopefully securing a better education and job prospects in the future to better my chances of helping my family and no longer being low income.
@@nazjaa Nah, I'm saying to suffer in silence. You chose it, deal with it.
Lmaooooo
