After realizing I really dislike my major (computer science) I've decided to switch to environmental science. I've always been passionate about preserving the environment and social justice causes. Thanks for the information!
Hey! That's great, and I'm sure the classes you took in computer science will still be useful in environmental science and anywhere you go! So everything is a win and I'm glad you learnt more about yourself
I'm also in the same situation, I studied web development and I've been dreading the work I've been doing so far. Best of luck to you!
me too!
Same but I finished my computer science undergrad and am now considering getting a masters in environmental science.
@@environmentalice5227 ahh! You breath of goodness. Your reply emanates such beautiful energy
Please make more Environmental Science videos 🥺 I feel doubtful that I took it because everyone around me keeps telling me that I should’ve taken nursing.
Hi, this was so encouraging thank you so much! I am in the process of making more videos, although it's taking long and I apologise for that >
I am going through this right now I am so lost with life. My parents and everyone else keeps telling me to do nursing or medicine related courses but I already applied to unis for environmental science
@@lexasdfghj I'm glad you did what you want to do. Have you heard from the universities yet? Know that the journey will be hard but to believe in yourself even on the hardest days. I made a video on careers if you're worried that about the future of environmental science: czcams.com/video/dwi8Uz5hRxs/video.html
I promise you, this is a field that needs a lot of help and that the work to be done is immense. But its not as easy if you're looking at salary and prestige and fighting societal pressures. Sometimes there is a harsh reality to listening to your heart, but you have to make those hard choices yourself and take responsibility for it. I'm sorry to hear that your social circle doesn't support you. My best advice would be to ask them what about being a doctor or nurse is so important to them, and see if you can find other ways to give them that same sense of security that comes with doctoring and nursing. There are many ways to make money and many ways to make a difference in a world but sometimes people get tunnel vision and only see one way.
@@environmentalice5227 Ive accepted my university offers and im likely getting into the one i preferred, the course i applied for at that uni was environmental science with business management. I think its because theyve always wanted to become one and they think its the best way to become stable in terms of income.
Environmental science is amazing and I hope you continued to pursue it. I am in my Ph.D. program and the variety of things you can do with the degree is phenomenal.
I want to study environment science because i really love the nature and want to be around it. I love to study about every natural element of the nature. Btw your video was really helpful 🙂
Thank you so much for this video! I am looking to study environmental science/studies and there aren't many people talking about their experiences so this really helped me :D
I'm SO happy to hear that. Check out my most recent video for career advice if you're interested czcams.com/video/dwi8Uz5hRxs/video.html&ab_channel=AliceSoewito
This is so helpful, Alice! Thanks for making content like this for newer students and ES wannabes, definitely subscribing :D
thank you so much melissa :)
I'm an undergraduate from Environmental Engineering (B.Eng) from UII, Indonesia, and what Ms. Alice says about every university is different on their own curriculum is true as much as I believe. For example, if we're studying in a tropical country that has around 30 degree Celcius, the technologies taught often use a system that is relevant to the same temperature. Other than that, if you're studying in a country that is still developing, the curriculum will match the system and technology that suit more low-maintenance cost such as DEWATS WWTP instead of more complicated one.
I also have seen the curriculum taught in Russia and some northern countries, and I saw a lot of them consider technologies that are more suitable to the snowy or low temperature's degree.
So, before you choose where would you study about Environment, whether in Engineering like me or more like Science part, be sure to research what you are implying on environmental study. Where would you apply your knowledge in the future?
Thank you Ms. Alice! That was so inspiring, I'm a student of Environmental Science, 3rd year now I remember hOw and why i choose this field because of my interest in environment😊, I hope more videos about Environmental Science you can make.
Great insights & advice Alice. You have always had that in you. Looking forward to seeing more videos from you Alice!!
thank you so much :)
Thank you so much, Alice! I am currently waiting for the college acceptances result from several of my dream schools. After watching your video, I found I really like this field of study. Glad to hear that Bing has a lab that is shared with Cornell cuz if I didn’t get into Cornell, I will go to Bing! But overall, THANK YOU !!! And good luck on my college acceptances !!!
You got this! Wherever you go know that you will make a difference in this world. If you need any career help check out my new video: czcams.com/video/dwi8Uz5hRxs/video.html&ab_channel=AliceSoewito
I’m exploring going back to school for Environmental Science & had not considered that programs would be so different. This is an extremely helpful video 💜 thank you so much
This was insightful and really helpful, thank you ☺️
Thank you so much for the insight!! I'm getting back my college acceptances now, and I'm aspiring to major in env science. I was getting a bit worried about the whole blended/remote situation, but this definitely cleared things up and gave me hope! With love from NYC
You got this!
@@environmentalice5227 how much scientific knowledge do i need to do good at this subject?? Like do i have to be an expert in chemistry or physics or math?? How much chemistry should i know?
Amazing video! I'm really confused between if I should take environmental science or geology... They both seem great but geology has a lot of hype and I hear no one talking about environmental science. This video was indeed helpful. Thanksss
Thank you for such great information and help. After surfing so much on the internet yours is the best I would say.
Great explanation to the degree! Love the way you broke it down.
Hi Alice! I found this very helpful, thank u so much. I would be so grateful if you could make a video about the applying process for this specific program of environmental science
Amazing video, thank you for this!
Proud of what you have done. Always inspiring since young....🥰😍👍🤗
Hellow Alice,
Thank you for taking your time to make this video. It's very detailed.
Hi! I am a political science major w/a minor in Asian studies, but I wanted to double major in environmental science. I was just worried about it being too much. This helped me understand better !!!
Lots of intersections between those three topics! Hope you figured it out :)
Hey Alice, just watched this and it was really helpful! Super great content!
Glad it was helpful! Check out my most recent video for career advice if you're interested czcams.com/video/dwi8Uz5hRxs/video.html&ab_channel=AliceSoewito
Thank you so much for this :)
Hey what are the jobs related to environment science in which I can travel and see nature not just in a lab
I know that wildlife biologists have lots of field work when they start out
thank you for this very helpful video!
Thank you so so much for this video! Im in my final year of high school and for the past 2 years have been going back and forth between a wide variety of majors that I wanted to study in college and uni, and I have been researching and studying all my choices but still unable to narrow down that unnecessarily long list :( this video really helped me round up my list to only a few now, so thank you so much!!
I also have a question, what would you say is the biggest difference in how you thought the major was supposed to be like and in real life?
Proud of you, Alice ❤️👍
hey thank you, this was really helpful
Proud of You Alice😍
amazing video! thank you
Well done! Thanks
Good video, we need more chanels like yours 😁
Could you do a video on your favorite environmental science books or the best textbooks? I think I want to go back to school for environmental science and like learning things on my own as well, I'd like to read some books before going back. Thank you!
Thank you Alice for making this video! It was super helpful and I appreciate the effort you put into making this.
You're so welcome!
so insightful!!!!!!
this was very helpful! could you make a video about environmental policy degree?
Thank you for the video🥺
i’m going into freshman year next year, is there any APs/clubs/classes i should take if i wanna be an environmental scientist? specifically a field biologist. tysm for the video it’s rly helpful and ur super pretty :))

Hello! I have completed my Master’s in Environmental Science and I would like to know which specific GIS course did you take at the Binghamton University?
Nice info....😁
Thanks mam by future environmentalist from India
This was really insightful. I have a Masters degree in GIS, can you guide on how to get a fully funded phd scholarship on environmental science
Please make a video on scholarship for environmental studies program
Good job....
My cousin Hannah goes to University Of Buffalo to run Track and she’s majoring in Environmental Science she loves it
Thank youuu!
great 😍 ! Thanks
I need someone who studied now PHD in tianjin university school of environmental science
#aliceseoito hey thanks for the video, I like environment science but am confused you talked about specialisations and generalizations then I wonder how will I study specialization before joining banchor degree?
The main reason I’m majoring in environmental science is because I’m really passionate about environmental problems, chemistry, and biology especially microbiology. I like the topics of pollution identification, bioremediation, Pollution control, microbial ecology, environmental chemistry, environmental microbiology, hazardous waste management, and things like that. I really like laboratory and field work. But I’m not too crazy about the law and social science classes I’ll have to take. but thankfully my environmental science major is with a concentration on biotechnology and bioremediation so it’s more technical which is good for me. I’ll also take a minor in chemistry since I like environmental chemistry and biochemistry as well. Do you think that’s a good reason for me to pursue the field ?
Excuse me, can you please tell me which countries do usually give scholarship for master's degree in Environmental Science
Hi there Alice
What made me interested in environmental science is watching zero waste projects. I'm really interested in combating human waste. So could you give me advice in which specific program that I could go into.
Thank you!
Hi, I'm compiling a list of questions and I'll be sure to answer that in my Q&A video :) Zero waste is SO important!
nice!
tysm!!
Hi i am a musician and i am gonna be at harvard for environmental science and for that starting i am really looking to pursue a career in music so is environmental studies require lots of time outside class
I’m currently pursuing engineering in computer sciences, how do I get into environmental sciences with this degree ? Can you please help me with this
What is best career option m. A environmental science or psychology
Hi, I am considering majoring in environmental science along with my current major in sustainable development (Arts). However, I'm worried as I have never done chemistry in the last 4 years and biology in 6 years. I am fearful that I would not do well and regret my decision on majoring in environmental science. (My parents said that I shouldn't do it as I am more of a "people-person" and an art person). I hope you will be able to provide me with some advice!
Hi Hannah, my suggestion is just to try it out. If you realize it isn't for you you can stick with sustainable development. There might be a learning curve because you haven't touch chem and bio for quite some time, but don't dismiss that you can't do it because you're not a "science person"! Try it out, and if it doesn't work I'm sure you can pivot into sustainable development.
Hello I did master in botany but I wanted to ship to medical line....is it possible????please do reply

I need help
At present I am studying 10th class I am an Indian in south AP
So I am thinking to do environmental science I really like nature and agriculture
But the problem is IDK which inter(11th and 12th)collage to join
Cause I want join that is related to environmental and I don't know
If I should take bipc or mpc
Can u please help me
I know it is soon to decide but pls
Hi, I'm so sorry but I don't really understand the system in India! I suggest to ask a high school counsellor to answer your country-specific question!
Hi! Indian here! I don't think 11th and 12th offers specific course for environment since they constitute basic education for any field. However, you should probably choose subject related to biology as it may help you understand the other aspects of environment such as botany. Hope this helped!
Hi Alice! Thank you for a very insightful explanation. I am sorry but are you Indonesian?
Yes!
This video is really helpfull for me as i am also the student of Environmental Sciences ..can u plz also inform me about additional online short courses for me that can help me in my professional work..i am waiting for ur reply..
3:25 Distinctions between environmental science and environmental studies
It's great
This is a great video. Wouldnt it also be good to study environmental science and then get a master's in a specialized topic?
Great question! I'll answer this in an upcoming Q&A video !
Is PhD obligatory for Environmental Science
Do we have to visit forests frequently during environmental science jobs. I am asking bcz I have phobia for certain worms and insects
There are many environmental science jobs that are completely indoors! :) such as sustainability jobs at corporations, environmental policy jobs in think tanks/NGOs/government or analytical jobs like GIS mapping!
@@environmentalice5227 Thanks for saying that. I am a biotech graduate so I'm a lot confused about the course for masters. Most ppl adviced me to go for biotech itself for masters but I have interest in studying climate change,ocean studies and all. So I thought environmental science might be a better option
is maths necessary for environmental science
I have subjects biology chemistry and physics + English and CS
HOPE U WILL REPLY
hi! that really depends which university you are applying for and what kind of high school program you are in. you should check with every school you're potentially interested in to make sure - email them/call them/check their website. :)
@@environmentalice5227 glad u reply
Omg i live in seychelles!
It's soooo wonderful and the university food is so good
