tip for picking a roommate !! ask ur potential roommate about their “lifestyle” for ex. what time they go to sleep, do they wake up early, do they workout, etc. it’ll help u decide whether or not you’d mesh well!
No offense, but isn’t that just basic common sense ??....
Kate Lee lol none taken, i feel like some ppl forget when ur talking to a bunch of different people. and if ur vibin sometimes u forget to ask before asking
Definitely ask about partying too! A lot of people like to go out every weekend but my roomie and I stayed in most Friday nights lol
HannahPanda36 - true!
also ask about room temperature!! super small but very important!! you don’t want to be freezing or sweating 24/7
could you do outfits 101? i just love your wardrobe so muuch
how to make friends: “who do you have? nO oNe” i love it
Glad I'm not the only high schooler who never makes their bed and watches way too much youtube.
this was insanely informative and probably the best college advice vid i’ve seen!! i’m also a rising sophomore in college, and i feel like these tips could apply to people even beyond freshman year, so thank you! i hope you have a great fall semester :))
the friend making buddy is GENIUS
All the books from when I was in college have a free pdf online. I wish I had known that.
I don't think there's a particular website. I would just use the Google search engine and type in "free pdf" followed by the title, author, and edition.
she talks about the 40% thing all the time but I'm glad she does cause it reminds me not to worry ;)
as an incoming freshman this is so helpful!! 💕
thanks for this vid!! i’m starting classes in a month and am pretty nervous so this was really helpful :)
I know you from the 73 questions of an MIT students. And then I started to follow your channel.I love all your videos and your lifestyle.I don’t know why you always give me an expression of surprising composure. Haha
I look forward to your videos every week. Keep up the work.
Thanks Nina! This is pretty cool, I’m actually a rising senior so I got one more year until college! Haven’t even applied or started anything yet

One needs confidence too to survive.
Add syrup or honey and cinnamon and protein powder and vanilla extract to your smoothie to add sweetness and flavor

How to make friends
Step one: have a friend
"Some of the habits that I developed when I got to college were ...actually sitting down and doing work"...Yet you made it to MIT...lucky!!!!

Like, I’ve had a summer holiday... But have I really?! 🤷♀️
Omfg I love you

I might have a random roommate this year bc my international roommate wont come and im lowkey scared
loved the tiktok sounds lmao and ur videos 🤩🤩
wow one of my first times being first I'm honoredddd
Yeah, if you go to MIT it's easy to change your major. Unfortunately, it's not that easy elsewhere, and often you really do need to decide in high school - especially engineering majors.
i don’t think this is necessarily true for many colleges, but in terms of admission it can benefit you to have an idea of your major; that way you can do courses and extracurriculars that demonstrate interest on your application. once you’re in though, it’s relatively easy at most schools to change programs! i’ve heard that impacted majors like engineering or nursing can be difficult though, as you said. really just depends on the school and major!
@@29wowzers Business is another example. Architecture. Etc. etc. etc. etc.
I love your Hannah Montana Transitions lol
u look like riley from scream omgggggg so prettyy
I'm not living on campus because I am poor and my parents live 3 miles away from my University. Any tips on how to still make friends?

hey nina! your videos help me so much but i’d like to know if being on a sports team or playing a sport in general i’m high school really matters. i’m definitely not athletic and i’m wondering if not doing a sport will affect my chances. i know that everyone has their pathway and no path is a definite ticket to college, but it seems like most accepted students play a sport really well. i’m a high school freshman so this is probably the wrong video to ask lol
Hello! So you're a sophomore now right? I'm a junior! I do volleyball and bowling! (thinking about joining another sport) for me personally, sports are a good way for scholarships. But they are not necessary!!!!!! You can get good scholarship and into good schools without sports! You can join clubs as well if you want! Or you can choose to just focus on school! I always recommend people join clubs to make friends and socialize but its not a necessity. If you want to join a sport later on go ahead! If you don't want to thats fine too! Colleges don't really care about sports(thats not %100 accurate, some colleges do favor those in sports that they can recruit) many look for your academics. Good GPA? Good SAT or ACT score? You'll likely find a college who will want you to go with them. Sports or no sports!
not even a freshman in high school yet 🤩
Nina can you do a video on your experience as an asian american in the United States? Do Asians like the black community or are they indifferent towards us?
I graduate in December and start college in fall semester
I’m getting online textbooks
The smoothy must really be bad. U never sipped fr real z entire time😂
Unless you live in the residence halls, it's almost impossible to make friends.
i’m so scared abt making friends ahh
Will councilors be open to meeting before you choose classes? I know my High School for that but if idk colleges do
yes! try to make an appointment and constantly check or call the counseling office to help with classes
can u talk ab clothes u wear in boston? im a rising northeastern freshman
We all know Nina blew it up after drinking that😂
Nobody's talking about how she got into the ghost Ivy?
I need tips o how to find pdf of online books!!!!
Use libgen.is You can find pretty much any book on it for free
How do I become friends with upperclassmen? Thanks :)
are you good Nina? you sound rlly tired
But what about making a friend buddy 😕
Which app do you use to edit

just out of curiosity :))) what is your mbti? :)))))))))))
Hey! Nina I am following you in LinkedIn and looking for a reasearch internship. Can you help me out of this.
And I am high school student and have a great passion in biology.
Hi! how many AP credits transferred over for college credit and do you think its worth it?
The ap credit transferred depends on the school. I took the ap tests for spanish, biology, chemistry, and physics m. My school didn’t give credit for Spanish but I got credit for everything else. I think it was totally worth it because all of the college classes will be difficult so it’s good to skip where you can. Cause the faster you get through general requirements, the faster you get to the more interesting classes.
also in some cases if you have enough credits that fill up your gen ed or even stuff in your major you can graduate in 3 years!
Hey nina, gotta be honest I believe that you need to gradually start to change your channel content theme because "college content" is limited and it will bottleneck your growth.
None green drink is good
But I literally don’t know anyone there?? I dont know what people go to the College I’m starting at
or you can rent your text books so you don’t have to keep it
i was playing league of legends and then got the notif. so screw my league rank

Hello to anyone that knows the admission process for Stanford. I need your help.
I'm a 13-year-old freshman and I would like any and all strategies that are going to increase my chances at Stanford.
A brief summary of who I am: I was raised in an upper-middle-class family; however, my parents spoke little English and I grew up learning Vietnamese (my native tongue). I was born in Vietnam and moved to France at 5 years old. When I turned 9 my brother and I moved to California. I was put into remedial English (English Language Learners) for most of my elementary and middle school career; however, since then I have gained a decent enough grasp of English that I'm now in English Honors. I have a passion for learning and wish to become a neurologist.
Classes:
Pre Calc Honors
English 1 Honors
AP Chem ( I took bio and chem over the summer)
French 3 Honors
Intro to Computer Science
Intro to business
Christan Ethics
Pe - Course 1
Extracurriculars:
recently started science national honors society and neuromed at my school ( I'm the president of both)
Vice President of UNICEF club and Key club (I got the positions because my brother is the president for both causing most of the members to be well associated with me already)
Class of 2024 Student Body President
I'm thinking of joining Tennis and Golf
Test Scores:
I took the psat 8/9 last year and got a 1440 which I believed is in the 99 percentile
I don't remember any others on the spot but just know I'm usually good with tests.
A little bit late to your comment, but I think I may be able to help. Not going to an “technically” Ivy League but I have friends who are/have and I’m going to a top 10 engineering school.
1.)GPA/Rank- a lot of people will tell u different, but being in the top 1-2% which it sounds like you probably are will tremendously help w getting your foot in the door into most schools whether private or public. So choose your classes wisely. If your GPA is weighted, it may not be worth it to take that AP class where the teacher is known to constantly give out B’s to students. In this case, make friends with upperclassmen as much as possible. It may seem hard, but since it looks like your about 1-2 years ahead of your peers it will be easier. They are the key to selecting good clases to take and follow their advice. It especially helps if they are very studious as well.
2.) If you can really take one or both of the clubs that you run to the next level and achieve something important in either one that would be extremely helpful towards your goal. However, as a leader make sure that you elevate your members of the club to really show leadership. With this, you can write almost any Essay college prompt back to your club experience and how u achieved something of value for yourself and others. This demonstrates how great u are to the college.
3.) Do not get into the habit of constantly copying/cheating on assignments. I’m not saying you are but I promise that it will catch up to you. Whether you’re caught, or you get a bad grade, cheating never does you any good. Every once in a while is ok, stuff happens in life at home and you can’t do the HW, but make sure you understand what the concept is. Similar to this, don’t be everyone’s HW friend. You sound smart from what you listed as your credentials, other people will realize this as well and may (unfortunately) try and take advantage of it. For your homies who help u as well, it’s ok. But those randoms who only hit u up for HW/answers it’s not ok.
4.) Maybe not school related but pls have a life outside of school. Don’t be so caught up that life passes u by. You can be a valedictorian( #1 rank) /salutatorian (#2 rank) and still have a life. I know this Because I am sal. And the Val. At my school does things outside of school as well. It’s way too often that kids lose themselves while trying to get ahead.
5.) Always start applications for college early, pretty self explanatory but you don’t wanna have the stress of applications along with senior/junior year on you.
If you have any questions j lmk and I gotchu. Hope this helps
You ain't a real one if you only watch her just to get into MIT itself
Tip number one. Be rich
I don't know who this is for, but Jesus wants you to know that He loves you so much and He wants to be your comforter and friend :)
