UChicago: A First Year Reflection by Five Black Women
I've finally finished my first year at The University of Chicago! I asked a few of my friends to join me in sharing some experiences, thoughts and advice we've collected throughout the last year.
Incase you're curious about something specific:
Time stamps
0:31 Introductions
1:50 How do you feel socially with the black community and the rest of the school?
5:04 How’s the dating and party scenes?
9:55 Has the university being located in South Side Chicago impacted you in any way? If so, how?
16:15 How has UChicago’s status as a predominantly white institution influenced your learning environment?
I hope you enjoy! And as always, feel free to reach out to me on social media! @marla_fiona

Hey marla you are so beautiful ❤
hii i will apply for next year, can i email you for help please? or can i contact you anywhere for help
Nice video. So helpful for the prospective and new students. I was in Henderson 1968-72. I was on 5th floor, so not that long trip down the stairs for fire drills,, only two flights to the lounge and away from the tower. So smart that snack ottoman. I shop at Target, too. So great that there is UA-cam now!! I had the Hong Kong Flu during my first finals week, but we never had anything as disruptive as the covid. Crazy amount of studying back then, have fun!!!
Can't hear squat save for the jazz.
"I like to see people of color around". Are you sure a university education is what you are really after? 'Cause there are a hell of a lot of other races of people that attend U of C.
BLACK QUEEN MAGIC!!!
Love the throw pillows
This day went from 0-100 love it 😂😂
Update?
how’s your public policy major at uchicago? i wanna do the same
Are the little trash cans and recycling bins provided by the college?
Hi, yes they are!
I'm studying first stage at college of dentistry is that make me a transfer student??
Are you in North
i got a question even do i am 2 years late into this video, but how could i do it if half of my years of highschool i did it in another country, but i am a US citzin?
Talk to me out the female diversity at uchicago. What kind of baddies y’all got out there?
Did you guys already say your stats? Like what type of gpa do you have?
This was really helpful, thank you!
What was the sound?
Hey Marla can you please tell if the university covered all your college and living expenses? Did they cover the expenses for 4 years or just one year of bachelors
Hey Sanny, yes, my scholarship covered all my expenses all four years!
YOURE SO NICE AND FUNNY AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU ON CAMPUS NEXT YEAR🙏🏾💕💕
Hey Elia! Thank you, you’re so sweet! Hope to see you as well!!!
ahh sorry this is so random, but I was watching your video and saw that you walked down 12 flights of stairs. were you in strongin? I'm a rising second year and I'm in strongin!
Whit Khalifa hey! Yeah I was, I moved to South a few weeks after this video though.
Great video!! I love to see the perspective of black women. CAn you guys speak a louder next though. My laptop volume was 100 and I could barely hear u (idk maybe its just me).
Gaiita Songwe Hey! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for bringing this to my attention though, I can try to adjust the audio settings in future videos!
Do you think I can get into Uchicago with a 3.5 and a 4.3 weighted gpa? Do you have any tips? Is it better for me in my case to apply for ED 11?
Can I apply to Uchicago with a 3.56 unweighted and a 4.3 weighted gpa, but good sat score (1400-1500)?
Hey! Uchicago doesn’t have any gpa requirements and standardized testing doesn’t need to be submitted on your application so I think it’s more important to have a well put together application overall, not just gpa and sat! But yes, people do get accepted with similar scores!
Hloo I am from India and m totally new but I wanted to get scholarship to be in uchicago so can u pls guide me !!!
Hi! Im a senior applying this fall really interested in the public policy major and was wondering if you could spare some time to give me your take on the public policy major at uchicago so far
Zainab O. Hey Zainab, yes I can! Do you have Instagram? If so, shoot me a dm @marla_fiona :)
I’m about to be a High School Senior and UChicago is my dream school and I’m planning on trying to match with them through QuestBridge and your video is really making me want to come to the school even more!

Hey! I’m an EA admit who was looking for this perspective as I make my decision. This was the video I was interested in seeing.
Hi! I’m glad you enjoyed! Hopefully I’ll see you on campus next year!
Hie, what did your scholarship cover? All expenses or?
Hi! Yes my scholarship covered tuition, room and board!!
@@marlafiona4823 And what about other expenses like food, books and other living expenses
Thanks a lot for the WOC perspective on my dream university. My results come out in 2 weeks oml !
Ah!!!! That’s so exciting! Let me know how it goes! ❤️
@@marlafiona4823 sure!
Great room ... compared to my dormitory yours are awesome;)
Hi Shiya! Thank you so much haha ❤️
This video is so funny and helpful atst!! Ty. Btw Im an incoming student for class of 2024. Based on the current system of randomizing things, do you think I can get a single in North?
Heeeyyyy. Congratulations I’m also an incoming student for class of 2024 and I’m so excited. 😊
Hey Mai! I’m so sorry for the late reply! Congratulations on your acceptance! I really have no clue about the new system of housing because ours was different. I wish I could help more! But honestly for me, House culture was way more important than the actual building I was living in so you should be good whichever way!
Awesome vid! I'm a high school senior and I'm planning on applying to UChicago ED! So happy to see UChicago through the perspective of black women!
Hey Adji! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! Let me know if you have any more questions! Hopefully I’ll see you on campus next year 👀
Hey Marla, I have a few questions I would like to ask you about the college in private, if possible, as a hopeful applicant. Please let me know (:
Hey! Definitely! The best way to reach me is through a DM on Instagram @marla_fiona! Feel free to ask me anything you’d like! And thank you so much for watching!!!
Thank you for providing some insight!
Hi Imani! Thank you so much for watching! I’m really glad you found the video helpful! Dm me on insta if you have any more questions!
Thank you so much for this. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for on UA-cam.
Hi Sydney! I’m glad you enjoyed watching! Let me know if you have any more questions!
I feel like I hear Dinah’s London accent creep in a bit haha
Yes!!! It’s definitely still noticeable!
I’m about to binge all your videos ! U Chicago is my dream school! As a young black girl- this perspective is not simply reassuring- but also needed. Thank you!
Hi! I’m so glad you found this video helpful! Definitely reach out if you have any questions!
I love it! 5 articulate, beautiful, Black women with a unique perspective giving sage advice(mostly common sense). I like the Q/A format. This video is definitely needed because it dispels stereotypes and talks about being 'on code.' Keep up the good work ladies! 🤗 P.S. Dinah(sp?), the second young lady from the left is my twin - from several decades ago, but still! 🤓 Same complexion, face, glaases, body type, everything. Even manner of speaking and body language!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind comments! And yes, Dinah is such a beautiful person, inside and out!
You are so funny, cool, and cute!!! Your dorm room looks great. We have almost identical tastes and organizational skills. I wanted to find someone to follow who goes to UChicago and reminds of my much, much younger self, lol. I know one of your dormmates who is in the Class of 2022! 🤗 Good luck on the upcoming school year!
That’s awesome! Thank you for watching and for the well wishes!
Thank you for this insightful video!
Thank you for watching!
Looks amazing!!
Thank you!! ❤️
what year's gpa are taken into consideration. Bcz I have a 3.7 gpa for my senior year but not so good for rest of the high school years. I'll be giving SAT this October. In my country we don't have APs and all. But I have a few extracurriculars not many bcz I come from a conflict zone. Can I get in If I get a good SAT score?
Hi Malihaa! I think GPA from all years are considered! Also, the university no longer requires ACT/SAT score results but if they’re good, it will be a great supplement to your application! I think what matters more than your stats and everything, however, is showing them (through essays and everything) who you are and why you’re a good fit for the university!
@@marlafiona4823 Thankyou so much. One more thing. Since you are in UChicago now , what kind of students did you notice usually get in? Like what do they look for in their students ? or what similarities did you see in all the students there?
Honestly, there’s no one answer to that. Everyone here is so impressive in different ways, but there are only a few people personally that I have found similarities with!
