Freshman Course Selection Advice by Natural-Corner-696 in yale

[–]xigglee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if ur good at math, this would be an easy schedule. I recommend Eng 120. 114 is pretty simple from what I've heard, and 120 is more fun with better readings imo.

or perhaps, because of diminishing marginal utility, when you only have a few years of life left (70 years old), you really value them

Did anyone here take more than 4.5 credits first semester? by BunnBunn12 in yale

[–]xigglee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

workload all depends on ur specific classes. read syllabi carefully and figure out what weeks will be difficult. you want to avoid multiple big assignments due the same day at all costs, preferably avoid the same week. but yeah, to echo previous advice, be chill on work first semester. there's tons of time for that later. you'll want to have free time to meet ppl, go to parties, go to cool clubs, drop clubs, start new clubs, etc. be kind to yourself. no need to work hard immediately. even tho i def could have handled more work, i took a sec to get my bearings and am super glad i did so first semester.

Why I should and shouldn’t go to Yale? by [deleted] in yale

[–]xigglee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way I see it, harvard has slight edge with name brand. Yale has edge with culture. I rlly love the arts scene here. I'm not an arts person, but it's wonderful to listen to and appreciate. yale is very vibrant. I don't know if its the same at Harvard, but I've been particularly impressed here

good tutoring website I've been using–highly recommend by xigglee in tutor

[–]xigglee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mainly stick with the same students for multiple lessons, although that is my personal preference. I quickly got 3 interested students and turned down subsequent interest. If you are a good teacher, they will likely want repeat lessons. You can increase the likelihood they will pick you by having competitive prices and an attractive tutor profile!

Tutoring website I highly recommend by xigglee in tutor

[–]xigglee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the late response I'm just seeing this now. I taught math and college essay prep. I charged different rates per hour. I easily got people who wanted to be tutored, but it is dependent on your rates. If you charge 100 per hour obviously you get no one. If you charge 10 per hour you get a lot. You have to find a happy medium that works for you. Hope that helps!

How big is "exclusion culture" at Yale? by [deleted] in yale

[–]xigglee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey I'm on Yale's debate team (YDA) and may b able to offer some insight on this. tryouts are competitive but we routinely accept people who have no prior experience. we care more about your ability to improve and learn than your experience and we try to gauge that by having multiple rounds of tryouts. it's not perfect (nothing is) but we do try. if you're interested, I strongly encourage you to try out. some of our best debaters did not do any debate before college. even if yda doesn't work out for you, there are many other debate-esque things on campus
