Bryan's career consulting service was great! I was able to land a BB IB gig, and he was really helpful as to what are some things I should do during interviews
Some great compare / contrast advice, Bryan. Your comment about "not being able to hide...forcing you to become articulate" is spot on. Seems a 2-year, small class size, explorative liberal art approach, followed by a 2-year subject focused, big research and facility resource of a state uni, makes a lot of sense.
2:00 Bro, Here in Brazil you have to choose your major with 16/17 before to go to college (that, for many of us, wen don't have the chance to choose where we are gonna study). We depend on a note hehe
watched this 5 months ago...now I'm heading to Hamilton college for the next four! turned down middlebury, colby, USC, colgate, u of Rochester, and u of Toronto.
Another great video! I went to a public UC school and had classroom sizes that were huge so I'm used to having assignments/projects and doing them without much guidance or interaction with the professors (we had TA's who we mainly interacted with).
Liberal arts colleges seem to be more generous to international students than "regular" universities. I'm torn b/n my " dream college " and a liberal arts college:/
Oh wow! I have such a similar personal background as you do as a High School senior who haven't decided which college to commit to. I'm a Korean immigrant student living in SoCal. I am currently deciding between Washington & Lee and UC Berkeley, which I found both schools to be amazing after visiting them. The thing is, like you said in this video, I am unsure of what I want to do after college, but I have a general idea of what I want to pursue in, International Relations or/and East Asian linguistics (or even Political economy). I was lucky enough to recieve the Johnson Scholarship from W&L, which would ensure me to graduate debt-free, but nearly all my peers are encouraging me to choose UC Berkeley for its prestige and wide-range of connections. Do you have any suggestions? +thank you for this amazing video!
I can really relate to this video! I’m also an Asian from California (3-5% here) and happen to be a KA at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. What’s also cool is my fraternity started at your school, what was then Washington College
In the UK, it's even more specialised. We have to choose or degree subject in the autumn of final year of high-school. We already choose our A Levels subjects (3-4 subjects pre university) when we're 15/16 and our GCSE subjects in year 8/9 (ages 12-14) - I chose mine when I was 12/13. So there's the expectation that you know what you want to do earlier on. I wish the system was more flexible like in the US (minus the extortionate US college fees 😅) The system is good for those who know what they want to specialise in early on though. I would be nice to have both options in the UK - the traditional UK specialised route and the flexible US route.
Hi, Bryan. I highly agree with you! I am a freshman in a liberal arts school as well. Can I ask what you would consider when you chose courses in a liberal arts school? There are too 4 majors that I am interested in and I am not sure if my choice is correct. I plan to choose basic courses for majors I am interested in. Do you have any suggestion of choosing courses in the first year? Besides is a question about first year experience. I am considering to enroll for the violin courses provided in my school, but since I haven't have a good control of my time, I am worrying that I will end up making mess. It would be nice if you can answer! It is a great great video! My feelings are somehow related!
Hey Bryan, I just landed my first internship as a rising sophomore this coming Winter thanks to your content! Any tips on what type of internship I should look for the summer of 2022 if I’d like to break into IB?

Hi Bryan, awsome video once again! Quick question tho, Im thinking of taking up a double major in Finance and Econ but it’ll take me around 6 years, right now Im in my first year of finance and I’ll finish that in 4 years. Do you think its better to just major in Finance and just use the extra 2 years instead (from the double major) to get a CFA and get more experience? Plus the econ degree might make my gpa lower so thats that.
I'm surprised your Asian parent didn't disown you when you told them you're going to an LAC. They expect you to go STEM and big time research universities.
@@TheBryanJun well, that's rather condescending! but hey, displays of condescension are normal for liberal arts school graduates, so i'm not surprised.
Good points regarding excessive options in the Liberal Arts Curriculum. The Strong Interest Inventory may help people find occupations that fit topics of interest, preferred work environment, and similarities with people who actually do that job. But, if one has no exposure to a vocation, subject matter, or work environment then one will register no interest in that area. So, if one has never spend time on a farm, then results will show no interest in agriculture. In this regard, Liberal Arts Colleges provide exposure to many areas so we learn of potential interests - theoretically. In this regard, you might do a video comparing a year at a Liberal Arts College to a year of backpacking aboard as both increase exposure to new concepts.
You can get that broad exposure anywhere, the problem is that you don’t have the opportunity to truly dive in. At a major university you can literally take PhD level courses and do research. In a major university you can have depth AND breadth, at a LAC you can only have breadth.
Trinity is an excellent school, my dad is an alumn and had an amazing college experience. Also, it has the feel of a small school with a close community while being in the capital of CT.
Hey Brian. I'm feeling kinda similar rn. I enrolled to study Economics but over summer I found programming very interesting (i haven't done it before) and the college I'm going to has a degree in Finance and Technology which isn't as highly regarded as Econ among the employees however I really want to try it but I'm scared if I won't like it I will fall behind with Economics and will be forced to redo the year. Whats your thought? I'm curious on what you would do.
Rankings don’t tell the whole story, those rankings heavily rate on grad programas and number of majors, look at the schools rate of sending students to grad programs etc
Hand holding vs being thrown in. Also, typically liberal arts majors don’t provide the same depth and breadth of education that a full university will provide.

Great choice-Hamilton is a wonderful school (I’m a recent grad who transferred to Hamilton from Wesleyan)
@@VeryAwesomeStuff why did you transfer?
very insightful video…. currently sitting in my wellesley dorm room lol

How does their scholarship work? For someone who has 0 backup do they cover it all or there are hidden charges?
ty for this
your voice is so deep
It just keeps getting deeper
@@TheBryanJun 🦍🦍
(very good for public speaking)
Came here after trying to decide between UCLA or Pitzer College...
Go to ucla
@@TheBryanJun Oh yeah? I have a full ride at both so it made it harder to decide. Thanks!
Which uni u think is best n easy for a girl going first time to USA with 0 money / excellent grades
Any opinions on the Trinity college CT?
no idea
Trinity is an excellent school, my dad is an alumn and had an amazing college experience. Also, it has the feel of a small school with a close community while being in the capital of CT.
Washington and Lee University
I guess I am gonna coming W&L
Are there programs actually counted as a degree?

I think I would try it out.. tech isn't very school dependent and much more about your skillset and projects
Do they teach category theory in their maths department?
What does he do now for work?

Yo nice t shirt
someone awesome gifted it to me
Hahahahah you could be a stand up comedian
Dream job
At williams tryna get an ib internship w. no success so far :*)
Hey I’m probably going to go to Williams and looking to maybe doing IB. Did you find some success in finding an internship?
So interesting to see how different school systems are around the world. 'Liberal Arts' is something completely foreign Western Europe for example
Yeah it's actually insane how different the various education systems are
2:35 - 2:50
coorrect
W & Lee CS rank is 282th, and low acceptance rate, not gonna go there

@@chasematthews5037 yeah, I have done ED to W&L tbh, the school is good, but my main goal would be starting a company, that's all
Watch this on 0.75x speed so it feels like normal
I do need to slow down
Would it be a torture for introverts or people with social anxiety disorder(which I am) to study in liberal art colleges?😢😢
Barely don’t
