This is good content - giving a glimpse of the student life pertaining to the university. I like the way the session was conducted by the host as that entailed relevant questions.
Only feedback would be more focus could be made on the structure where they may delve more on the application process, curriculum, student life (more granular details)

Pranay's perspective on prioritizing prestige while also emphasizing the importance of optimizing college fit is truly thought-provoking. So refreshing to see someone recognize the significance of college fit, as it often tends to be underrated and overlooked. I genuinely appreciate you all for shedding light on this crucial aspect once again and reinforcing its significance!
