HIDDEN COMMENT: Had a lot of fun with this video :)
Hope you’ve learned a thing or two about Stanford!
here 5 mins before decisions come out, preparing myself for a rejection
edit: accepted by some weird force of nature
Me too!!! it’s honestly surreal. Hope to see you on campus in the fall😌
@@sinmisowande5289 yes for sure!

Indeed, no one in the Chemistry Department has a soul. The first year courses do separate the adults from the children, and any survivors can congratulate themselves for advancing towards degree completion. Everyone who succeeded in their Chemistry courses considers themselves as survivors.
B.S. Biochemistry '99, M.S. Education '04
I see you’re one of the survivors
may i ask what you're doing now career-wise, and do you think Stanford helped?
@@milomitchener4166 I educate students at the high school and community college levels. I also work as a school district consultant that develops the curriculum content for AP and IB programs. I also hold summer science camps for elementary students. My connections help students find mentorships and internships in various fields from environmental sciences to engineering sciences to the pharmaceutical industry. One of my former students even holds a position in local government. All in all I helped others develop their personal and professional potential.
Amazing how UA-cam recommend me the bad things before the good
lol
Hi Lour! I love watching your UA-cam videos and have watched all of your videos that you have posted so far. I found all of your UA-cam videos very informative, because my boy is also there with you in the campus and is your batch mate, a class 2024. So, please keep posting as and when you get time.
Oh really? Who is it
@@LourDrickValsote Juben Rana from Bhutan.
You can meet him someday. He is a decent jovial guy. He will be majoring in computer science.
@@basantrana2587 I'd love to meet him!
"some guy that somehow got into this school" just hit different
ur video style rly reminds me of domics without the animation 💗
oh wow thank you!
could u rank the neighborhoods? or what you would think are the best in ur opinion? housing options open in 10 days and i really wanna get as much feedback as possible!
tbh a lot of the neighborhoods aren't too different
but if i had to rank, I'd say NFASTRD
For non American like me, that was hella expensive
Watching from the Philippines!
With you 100% on the neighborhood system, the food, and the chem department. I am *very* glad that I don't need to take any chem classes (AP credit covers it for me).
On the flip side, the CS department is *amazing.*
I actually like the quarter system a lot. It's hard, yes, and duck syndrome is 100% a thing, but I don't dislike it at all.
Adding to the list of complaints about Stanford … R&DE is trash. Now the Stanford R&DE goons are gonna come after me, aren't they? It's almost like they're _trying_ to avoid making accommodations. I have Muslim friends who wanted their meal plans changed for Ramadan, and they had to argue on the phone to get the accommodation. I asked to change my meal plan to something that actually has meal plan dollars, cuz my classes span the entire lunch period, and they said something to the effect of "Nope, not doing it cuz your meal plan is tied to your housing contract. Besides, you need to make cOmMuNiTy by eating in the dining hall with your dormmates (fam there is no community cuz we can already eat anywhere we want, plus the food in our dorm isn't even that great). We can give you 19 meals with no meal plan dollars, though! :D"
Don't get me wrong; I love Stanford, and with the knowledge I have now, I still would choose Stanford in a heartbeat. But like Lour said, it's not the perfect paradise everyone imagines it to be.
Wait but I saw you first from the accepted brown university video
damn a senior about to apply for colleges and thinking about majoring in chemistry plus rea Stanford watching this video lol
Love his dry humor!
Stanford changed to the neighborhood system because admin wanted to increase diversity and cross cultural communication. Back when the lottery system existed, everyone chose with whom they lived. However, sororities and fraternities sometimes "rigged the system" in favor of their members who received choice housing assignments. Fraternities and sororities would occupy an entire floor in the residence halls before moving into Greek Housing. Criticism about the lottery system came from those assigned to older unrenovated residence halls before technology upgrades. Sadly, first year ethnic students received placement in these older units, despite their close proximity to campus. The neighborhood system, a recent change, appears to provide more equitable housing and an opportunity to build connections.

Very interesting.
@@LourDrickValsote Back in the day, the lottery system randomly assigned roommates based on similar traits. It worked for me because my first year roommate and I got on quite while even though we came from two different ethnic groups (She's Vietnamese and yours truly is Black) and came from two different parts of the country (She hails from Westminster, CA and my hometown lies in suburban Atlanta,
GA). We roomed together for two years until she joined a sorority, and moved in with her sisters. We still keep in touch. In fact, I teach one of her children. ☺️
@@blueberrymuffin1348 I suppose there's a bit of luck involved. My roommate and I also get along quite well
Not me watching this video a week before decisions are released
Quarter system like Mapua University
Thank dude🙏
Someone who walks everywhere wouldn't have any problems with 20 minutes per direction... I have walked home from the cinema for 2 hours, multiple times, when there was no public transportation...
Now I don't want this comment to be "when I was your age I fought polar bears to get to school", both because I'm younger than you and simply because it's a stupid thing to say, but still 20 minutes to get to class is nothing...
that's fair
To anyone reading this… May God bless you ! You’re gunna do great in life and in school ! Put God first and everything will fall into place ! John 3:16 says , “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. “ much love to you and God loves you too ! may God be the priority in your life and may you live life abundantly through His Son Jesus and have joy love peace kindness and so much more :) 💕 continue to press toward the prize of the mark of the high calling ! God loves you and wants a relationship with you! He is knocking at your door waiting for you to answer !!

UA-cam is preparing me for my rejection … nice
wow thievery on Stanford campus? Did not expect that would be a thing over there.

‘The quarter system is one of my favorite things about Stanford and also one of my least favorite things’. That’s incoherent.
I graduated from Stanford. I never found anything to hate about it.
