Hi Guys! This video is so long overdue... my schedule has been so hectic! However I hope you guys enjoy this! As always, ask anything you want in the comments (okay... maybe not "Ellise y r u ugly" but you get the gist) Thanks for watching and subscribing (if you're subscribed)!
So grateful for the support from u guys it means the world
DISCLAIMER MY PROS AND CONS ARE TAILORED TO MY EXPERIENCE. I'm a first generation, low-income, minority student at any Ivy. My experiences could be totally different from others who haven't grown up in the same environment I had, or even people who pursue different majors.

Very well thought out and balanced view of Penn from a perspective that is not often heard. Great video!

I agree with your statement about mental health being shoved under the rug. I am a student at UC Berkeley, and its the same story here, especially with first-gen, income students. Thanks for sharing!

Did you get stressed out a lot as a student at Penn? I heard the work load is super heavy. I expect heavy work load from an Ivy League, however, I'm afraid that I don't have enough time for myself. If the work load is true, do you have any recommendation to maintain stable grades or keep up with others? Thank you so much❤️❤️❤️

@ElliseStarr 6 жыл бұрын

Stress is DEFINITELY real, and it is true that the work load is heavy. To get stable grades, I recommend getting good sleep, it's sooooo important! Also, try every study method and location until you find one that works well. How you study and where you study can really impact your productivity. Find a way to keep track of all of your assignments and their due dates so you get an idea of how to allot your time. That's all I can think of off of the top of my head! And a quick tip for stress, don't compare yourself to others! Everyone goes at their own pace, and trying to keep up with others leads to emotional stress. Everyone's experience is unique, do what's best for you!

What do you think about the “competitive” nature at penn? Is it cut throat?

@ElliseStarr 3 жыл бұрын

personally i haven't experienced any "direct" competitiveness (e.g. a person or several people actively competing against me for something), but i definitely would say that because a lot of students end up doing well internship and job-wise, sometimes there is pressure to feel like you have to be doing the same things. but that's my own experience! :-)

@sparklemotion101ni3 3 жыл бұрын

+Waleed Masood Penn alum here! Yes, it's very competitive especially in the classes that are graded on a curve. I was a double major English/Enonomics in the College of Arts & Sciences (pre-Law; I went to Penn for law school too). People don't try to sabotage each other or anything, but in my Econ classes people definitely competed for grades, even as we shared notes with our friends and studied together.

i took a few wharton classes and they're some of my favorites! the lectures are very interactive and the professors really try to keep it from being a class where you just look at a board and take notes. so if the rest of the wharton classes are like that then i'd say they have a pretty solid program!

You only pay that if your parents' income is over $200k. They have very good financial aid based on need, so no one should need to take out a loan to attend. If you watch the who video, you see that she is getting full financial aid since she is 1st gen/low income.

youre cute. i am glad you did not do an entitlement video. i think you have some sensible issues to bring up, esp poor food and dorms at $70,000. And profs at the top of research and meeting people who are amazing or inspiring, whether roommate or hall mate, etc. I went to Brown. Similar experience. But our food I think was better; not gourmet but.....we ate well, and if not, great salad bar.

Upenn called me “unemployable as a secretary” in federal court when I sued for discrimination. While they were doing this, they were covering up for a doctor who drugged and raped female job applicants. I type 100wpm and was EMPLOYED as a freelance medical transcriptionist at the time. If you have no problem with this you’re not anyone I’d respect, but boy you sure like the people who did that to me (and to the poor rape victim). You have laid down with dogs. Don’t whine when you wake up with fleas. Besides, with the world going broke everyone is going to have to start over, and those who can live most inexpensively are the new rich. I’ll spare you all the off-campus housing horrors I know about since you’d probably say I was just whining anyway. Sleep well!
