Ah now I see how my video helped think of this idea and i'm so happy it did because I really enjoyed this!! Also I appreciated the description :) you're too funny man I miss you!! This is totally a video I wish my younger-self had to watch
You always inspire me Makaykay!! Thanks for the idea and for laughing at my silly description box! Love you lots!!!!!!!
This is great Kiara!!! I wish I had something like to this watch when I was making my decision about college haha I think a college series would be so helpful for those who are in high school!!
Same! I feel like there always need to be more of these videos around! :)
Love this! Wish something like she has been around when I was deciding, can't wait to see more of your videos :D
Oh I am so glad!! Thank you so much for watching :)
You're welcome!!!
This is great😍I'm a senior finishing applying and such now & this is super helpful!
Oh good!! I wish you the best of luck on your big decision!
Thank you Kiara for this especially since I'm a senior and I have finished applying to my colleges.
So glad you found this helpful!! Good luck with your decision! Let me know what you end up deciding :)
where'd you decide? ;P
I ended up choosing the University of Oregon! I love it!
I absolutely love your channel and thought this video was so helpful! I just applied to UO and would love to see a video about your sorority experience there so far:)
Welcome Brady!!! I am SO glad you applied here it truly is an amazing school!! I am planning on making a video all about my sorority experience in the summer time before rush so stay tuned for that :)
Thank you so much!!! I'm going through it all rn, I really needed this
So glad it helped you out! Best of luck with your decision!
Great tips! I would love to see a college series of videos. A video for how you studied for the SAT would be awesome!
Awesome! Thanks for the suggestion! I would love to make more school and college related videos!
This is such good advice. I love you ❤️ and miss you
Thanks Kath! Love ya so so much!
I am so glad that I found this video. I am currently a senior, and I’m stuck on whether I should stay here in my country to study or go overseas to get my preferred program for my desired major. The tips helped me a lot, but I am still puzzled up with my decisions
I just subscribed to you today and I kinda had that feeling that you are going into higher academic way because you talk with a lot of intelligence. I was like "she's a premed for sure" and than you uploaded that video and you are a premed!! Have fun I'm in second year of medical school in Europe and I love it to death
Hahah that's actually so funny!! Well you guessed it! I hope you're enjoying med school and are getting sleep with all the crazy work you must be doing!! Thanks for watching :)
Great advice! You should definitely do a video about other colleges you applied to and tips about preparing for the tests and applications
Yes will do!! Thanks for the suggestion and for watching :)
I’m applying to graduate schools, ran into your video, and still found this helpful. Thanks!
Oh good! I'm so glad you found it helpful!
Thank you so much for making this video!! I'm a senior in high school and I've applied to 6 schools. I've heard back from 4 and have been admitted in to 3 of them. I live in Miami Fl but my #1 school is in Tacoma WA (which Is one of the 3 I've gotten accepted into) Im absolutely thrilled I got in but terrified to make the decision of going. You're video has definitely given me some points to think about before making my final decision. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK :)
Thank you so so much for commenting Nicole!! It seriously makes me so happy to know that I can play a role in your decision!! Is the school you are thinking about University of Puget Sound?? I have a friend who goes there and really likes it!! Making a decision is so scary and overwhelming but I know you will make the right one and be happy wherever you go! If not, TONS of people transfer around it honestly surprised me so much! Best of luck!
TheKgstyle actually the school is Pacific Lutheran University and it really does have everything I'm looking for in a school. Thanks again for the advice :)
I live in tiny little Belgium and I love how you think studying 2 hours from home is close :) Here, not all students live in a dorm and we go home every weekend. My campus is about 30-45 minutes from home, but I do have a dorm because it's nice to have my own space. I looked at a university that's about 2 hours away and I decided not to go there because it wouldn't be as easy to go home regularly.
I totally agree with visiting colleges more than once. When I was looking at colleges, the first one I knew was not the right one for me. I fell in love with the third one right away, but I revisited the second one I had gone to as well as the third, and I came away from it, knowing where I wanted to go and knew it was the right one for me. I feel if I hadn't gone back to the second one I had toured after the cluster of first tours (I did three college tours within like a week), I would have always kind of wondered "what if I had gone there". The school I went to, has the best / most well-known program for the major I started out with. It also had the major I ended up switched too, which worked out amazingly. I had looked at the other schools I was looking at after the fact, and they had nothing similar or close to what I ended up majoring in, and that was my Major when I graduated.
This is some good advice for those looking at going to college.
Such good advice and SO true!! It’s really important to give each top school a second chance bc the circumstances and details in each visit are different! Thanks so much for sharing your story!
This is actually really helpful!! I'm a junior in high school and I'm STRESSING over college. I have nowhere in mind, I don't know where to start, and I don't know what to look for. This definitely gave me some good insight! So thank you!
SO glad this was helpful! I felt the same way and just hated talking about it because it made me feel so behind! Don't worry it all comes together in the end and it will work out! Remember to work super hard your junior year and keep your GPA high so you can get lots of money in scholarships :)
I definitely will! Thanks so much! :)
What is your dream career(what would you go to med school for?) ? And what schools did you apply to?
Awesome tips! I started looking at colleges my junior year. It was late but I think going on a visit is very important. :)
Yes I completely agree!! Seeing the unique atmosphere at each college is extremely important!
TheKgstyle I loved when the tour guide was a student verse a person on staff at the college. The student can give you first hand experience and tips about the university.
Hey, Kiara. You mentioned how you'll have to go through Chemistry to learn about what truly interests you in a few years. I think this is really cool, and goes hand-in-hand with your point about being patient. I see you have a great long-term focus, and that's awesome.
Thanks so much for saying that! It means a lot to me! Even though I am not sure if I want to go to med school or work in the journalism field as a PR major, I know chemistry and graduating with the human physiology major is going to be extremely valuable! Thanks for watching!
this is very helpful and btw I LOVE you channel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so glad!! Thanks for watching :)
Wow this is so perfect! I’m from Portland, i want to go to uo and i want to go into medicine too!
Amazing video as always
Thank you!
I am in university in the UK and these are some great tips :)
Thank you! Glad you found them helpful!
you are really awesome you should make more studying stuff and i have watches all your vids there awesome i hope u keep making more vids like everyday :D
Thank you so much!!! I hope I never stop making videos bc I love hearing your sweet comments and feedback! Thanks for watching :)
I love this video so much! I'm currently a senior in high school and am seriously considering UOregon. I know you are involved in greek life, something that really interests me. The only thing that makes me hesitate about it is that I'm not really a partier and drugs and alcohol aren't really me. Is it ok or is the greek life mostly about parties? Thank you! Love you!
OMG girl this was so me 1 year ago!!!! I am not a partier and have never drank alcohol. It's not that I don't like being around it, bc I like going to parties with my friends, but it's just not something I am interested in participating. I was very concerned about this when I was going through the rush process. I can confidently say that greek life is SO much more than partying. That being said, there are lots of parties and lots of girls drink. BUT nobody knows that you don't and so it's no big deal. Every house has different reputations (some of them are true, some false) and I have found that if I don't want to drink I just don't go to the parties that much and I participate more at other events or just spend time with my friends studying! This is getting really long but I hope that helped and if you have any other questions feel free to ask them and I would be have to answer :)
-on a final note, I feel like people really respect girls that stick to their decision about drinking and in a couple years you will be 21 and do whatever you want then :)
xoxo, Kiara
This video was very helpful thank you! Trying to decide where to go is super stressful. These tips were very helpful!
I completely agree I was freaking out and seriously had no idea where to go until the very end!
American application seems so different than Canadian!! It seems like your loving your school! I would love to see more of the campus in videos!
You should make a video about the difference between the two or what makes Canadian schools unique because I am so curious about that! And yes stay tuned for more videos on campus I am waiting for a day when it stops raining haha :)
maybe i will!! it would be interesting to share! ah I'm excited now!!
My name is Kiara too, and I go to college in Oregon too!
Please tell us what schools you applied to!!
Thank you so much! This video was super helpful! -♡ Aya
Yeah!!! I am so glad :) Thanks so much for watching!
I'm your biggest fan I love you sooo much and this vedio help me alot thank you ♡♡
Aww thank you so much!! So glad you enjoyed it :)
I'm praying I just get into my dream school 😭❤️
I want to go to U of O for the science department :) I'm a biology major but as of now I'm at a community college completing my general ed / prerequisites. I'll be so happy if I ever get to the chance to transfer to the university of Oregon
Many Thanks!
Pleasee do you sorority experience and everything about that!!!!! Love you!!!
Yes I am filming that for next weeks video!! Stay tuned :)
we have the same name. 😇 so glad i found you, love the vid💓
Ahh that's awesome! SO glad you found my channel too! Thanks so so much for watching
Love this! 💜💜💜#liked
Aww good!! Thanks so much!
This was such a helpful video! :D im a senior and im debating between UO and another school.. I visited the campus recently but I just didnt feel like it was for me because there didnt seem like a whole lot to do around the town-- maybe I just didn't explore it enough(?). This video is making me rethink things and possibly giving it another look! It is a lot less expensive than the other school which is a total plus for me!! any more insight on what the campus vibe is like would be greatly appreciated! :-)
Good! I am so glad this video was helpful because I was in the same spot as you a year ago, did not fall in love with UO, and was looking for more info but nobody had anything to say about it! Not sure where you are from, but I am from Portland where where is a lot more to do there then in eugene. HOWEVER... I get out A LOT and the bus is free with your id card which is great. There are some awesome cute coffee shops and places to go and hike you just have to be more creative with where you go. Let me tell you I am SO happy I am here. Saving your parents money is a HUGE plus! That way you can bring your car to college, be in a sorority, travel more, all with the leverage that you are literally saving your parents thousands of dollars! Everyone is so cool on campus ( I thought EVERYONE was a crazy super vegan hippy feminist) but there are so many people like me and I have met so many friends! I hope this helps! What other school are you deciding between??
Im deciding between UO and CU Boulder!! I am from the bay area so it will be different not having so many options as to what to do around the town, but you make some good points! This comment is soo helpful thank you!!
No problem! Good luck with your decision :)
please do a how to prepare for the act and sat and like how many times you took them and like tips about them!!
Thanks so much for the suggestion! I will for sure add that to my video list!
So true, I tried everything but my parents said they're paying it for me but it worries me so much!! 😶 What your suggestion on that? I'm going to college in this? Do you need a job to pay for dorms?
Could you do a video on all the schools you applied to and how you went about eliminating them I'm in the process right now and it's very challenging to eliminate schools
Yes! I mostly narrowed down my schools by figuring out what was most important to me and I used a lot of the tips I talked about in this video to help me :) Good luck and keep pushing through I know it can be supper stressful but it is so worth it in the end!
Honestly the transfer option is what is keeping me so calm about choosing a college.
Seriously it is so common to transfer! It's super fun to get out and explore different schools too :)
I know I’m pretty late in watching this video, but I’m a senior in high school right now and am deeply considering UO! I’m from California but my family is moving to Oregon, which is a big reason why I want to go. Your video helped me a lot! After your years of going there do you have anymore advice for me? Thanks so much!! ❤️
Did you end up going ?
Just got my acceptance to UO today! OMG I'm so excited!
OMG YESSSSS you go girl!!! I am so happy for you!! Don't forget to do your housing app the day it comes out so you get top pick of your dorm! Even if you don't end up going you here you get pretty much all your money back so it's so worth it!!! Ahhh SCO DUCKS!
TheKgstyle WAIT REALLY? BECAUSE IM STILL WAITING ON MY OTHER COLLEGE DECISIONS AND IT WONT BE UNTIL MARCH SO EVEN IF I APPLY FOR HOUSING AND CHOOSE A SINGLE DORM IN GLOBAL SCHOLARS HALL I CAN GET MY MONEY BACK IF I DONT DECIDE TO GO?
Mrhotdogwinner1 YESSS!! You get the full deposit back except for $50 but I think it is SO worth it to have the room reserved trust me you will be glad you did it! My parents did it for both of my top two schools to ensure my spot was saved!!
So helpful. Love u🙏🙏🙏
Oh good I am so glad! Love ya too!!
Hey! Im from London, UK, and I'm going to the university of Oregon in September!
No way!! That's so cool! see you around campus
I'm starting to make my list of all the schools I'm for sure applying for and I've narrowed it down to about 6 schools and only 2 or 3 of them offer the major that I need (film production, all the other ones have film studies which is like the history of film making and you barely touch a camera and that would be awful lol) But two of those schools are in California and the other is in NYC! Oh my gosh what am I doing XD
UGH we need to meet and sort this out hahaha you could always think about a film minor or a double major!!!
TheKgstyle but thing is... I'm seriously considering UCLA 😱 the best film school in the world is there and if I get accepted to it, I'm 99% sure I'd take their offer even though it's a little farther away than other schools😁 I've already planned out my UCLA film school application video and essays and I'm so serious about this school and I'm so afraid that if I don't get in my dream of getting a major in film production will be ruined 😁😁 I don't really want to go with a minor because I'm 100% sure I want to be a filmmaker and I think a different major wouldn't be beneficial to me, you know? But seriously once I apply and hear back from the schools you need to help me out because you're a pro at this 😜
I think you could for sure get in there bc you have a wonderful gpa and such a unique thing to set you apart from others! I have a friend who got in there and it was his dream school but he had to turn it down because of the cost. I think it truly is a great school for you but it will be interesting to weigh your options once you get in and find out how much money they will give you! I would be happy to help and I will try to be as unbiased as I can even though I really want you to go to UO and be with me haha! :)
I don't know if you'll see this but I am visiting the university of oregon in July and I am super excited! I was looking for videos for that school and I found you and I started binge watching! How have you liked the school overall so far? Thank you ❤️
That's so exciting!! You are going to love it I know it!! Thanks so much for watching! I am SO happy here! I feel like all the pieces of the puzzle came together and I love my major, my dorm, the people, the campus! I hope you enjoy your visit and please let me know if you have any specific questions!!
I’m excited to go u of O 😭 I got a full ride ❤️
Congrats I did too :) See you in the fall!
Kiara Madisen how did you guys get a full ride?
I just booked my college tour! I am a junior in Texas, and I'm so nervous I won't be able to pay for everything. My uncle lives 8 minutes from the campus so I plan to live there to save some money, but when I go on my tour what questions sould I ask? I visited the college over the summer and I fell in love, but as I am getting closer to the applying process, I feel like I should ask about the campus more. Thank you!
Lots of people are from out of state here!! It's an amazing school, but like all colleges the out of state tuition is crazy expensive!! Honestly, ask about the unique programs here to see if there is something to be a part of that makes it worth the extra cost. School is expensive but if you have a strong reason to attend and or a plan of how to pay for it (being an RA one year, getting a campus job, applying for lots of scholarships) then it is so so worth it!! I don't know a ton about establishing residency because I am a resident, but asking about how to do that would be helpful because if you do live your uncle you may be able to pay in state tuition for a few years which would save a lot of money!! I hope that helped! If you have any other questions please let me know and check out my Q & A to see if I can answer any of your other questions!
Being a houstonian it is so crazy to think that there are ski teams for high schoolers.
I live in New York, but just visited the UofO because I really like their human physiology major. I am Pre-Med as well! Any experiences or tips you have related to your major and pre-med requisites would be so appreciated!! I'd love to hear your side
That's awesome!! I have a suite mate from Boston and despite being so far from home she loves it! The Human phys major can be a bit difficult freshman year if you are not ready to dive into tons of school work bc chem take up so much time! But it is very doable and last term I got a 4.0 which was well deserved but also really exciting. I love the program here and if you are pre-med then this school is totally for you!!!
I'm pretty much doomed my senior year. I messed up really bad freshman and sophomore year due to a lot of events in my life I RECENTLY got my ish together this year but my college counselor said no matter what I can't get a 3.0 and that I should look into community college. I want to go to a four year but have no more hope.
You still can!! I know people went to a four year school at my high school and they had terrible GPAs! Don't give up hope! Also don't forget that going to a community college is never a bad idea and can help you save a ton of money! Keep applying you never know what you could get into :)
You are awesome
Thanks! So are you!!! :)
I am only in 4
I have a question, University of Oregon is my number one choice and I've been accepted, but how do I sway my dad to support me in going? I am an out of state student and my tuition is higher than normal, which is making my dad, whom I live with and is my main support factor, shy away from supporting me with this school. Do you know anything that helped you discuss finances, or any programs/scholarships that U of O offers that I could mention to ease his money oriented view?
That's super hard!! My parents are just like that and for me as an in-state student, going here was a good option. In the end money should not be a problem and should not limit you if you want to go here. Is there a specific unique program that is only offered at UO that you are interested in? If so I would talk about how valuable it is to go here. I applied for LOTS of scholarships and because of my high GPA was about to get a lot of money to go here so you may find out more information when you get your financial aid package. You need to personally weigh your decision and know if you go here it may cause you to be in debt once you get out of school, but if that's how important it is for you to go here then do it! Or look into going to a local college for two years and transfer in. There are tons of options, but the most important thing is to know what you truly want so your dad can share your same passion! Hope that helped :)
What does she mean by a Nike campus? I may have heard that wrong but that is what I heard.
I just mean that Phil Knight has poured a lot of money into the campus and provided equipment and nike uniforms so there are always updates going on and our sports are big here! :)
Hey Kiara I'm thinking about applying to the University of Oregon, but i need some advice... can you help?
Yes of course!!! What is your question??
TheKgstyle Well I really want to go to oregon haha. I'm from england but now live in Austria. I wanted to do an exchange year to the U.S bit for financial reasons that wasn't possible:/ as i said I'd love to go to Oregon and be a duck but that will only every be possible if i can get financial aid or a scholarship. Im an average but a great athlete... so i guess my question is what do i do? haha na just do you have any advice? thanks a million! love the content btw! I'd love to see a bit of the campus:)
Please if you have any advice I'd really appreciate it
what were your stats and where did you get in?
My GPA was a 3.95 and I got a 29 on my ACT and I got into all the schools I applied to except for USC :) I am thinking about making a video all about my college application process so stay tuned!!
Where else did you apply?
I applied to: University of Denver, Washington state, Loyola Marymount in LA, Oregon state, USC, and UO!
Where did you end up applying to?
I applied to: Washington state, University of Denver, Oregon state, University of Oregon, Lyola Marymont in LA, University of Southern California , and I think that's it haha
