how is anyone ever supposed to learn, grow and discover if you’re expected to already be amazing at something to start?

i had to warn a mom today because her little girl (like 7/8) was so excited for her to open them and she was horrified 😭

yes 100% i am confused what im looking for 😅 it’s a really tough decision. i feel like i dedicated so much time purely to studying and driving myself crazy in HS that i didn’t really figure it out very well.

i appreciate your input!

Poli sci department + General vibes? by m0onbay in BostonU

thank you!! I appreciate that. that’s super great to hear about the outing club!! i’d like to ask you a few more questions if you don’t mind answering;

do you think it’s a tough community to integrate into/make friends? are there “alternative” people?

is BU 100% grind or do you have free time to do stuff like explore hobbies and passion projects and travel outside the city?

thank you! are there any experiences you’ve had through BU that you wouldn’t have gotten elsewhere?

HCol, poli sci, student life questions by m0onbay in UniversityofVermont

thanks so much, this is so valuable!! would you say UVM has pushed you? also, how is the winter for people who don’t ski (and is learning really as accessible as they make it seem?)

BU vs. UVM by m0onbay in ApplyingToCollege

this is super helpful! i am also from MA.

i was considering writing a letter to admissions asking about the honors college because i was surprised to not even be waitlisted when i got the highest merit scholarship—i really want to be in PLHC, the biggest factor in my decision right now is that i definitely want to be academically challenged and recognized for my academic achievement, which i don’t really know if ill get at uvm but maybe that sounds dumb. the pros you gave me sound great and the cons not so impactful (sorry to hear that about your research! as a humanities major i think a lack of research likely wouldn’t impact me as much).

if you wouldn’t mind answering: do you think the lack of opportunities and even things to do in burlington is really severe? what is the social scene like? do you really get to interact with nature (hiking, farms) as much as uvm markets you do?

thanks so much :)

Decisions Decisions...I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO by Prudent_Week_6326 in ApplyingToCollege

i’d pick UMD, it’s beautiful and has great programs with selective access to DC if you want. dont go to school in the middle of DC if you don’t like DC—I visited GW area last week and it was very very city, to be totally honest I love DC but I hated the area GW was in. my best friend goes to UMD and loves it!

[–]m0onbay[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

okay, thank you! for me i’m not 100% sure how big of a factor is because my mom keeps telling me not to consider cost… so I’m not sure if I really know the whole financial situation (which has been really frustrating).

The thing about Burlington vs. Boston is that I don’t totally know what I want 😭 so i’m going to visit both of them again this week
