    Navie & Sara's room was where my (*fave*) RC lived my freshman year ('14-'15), so I've weirdly spent many hours lying on that floor and complaining! This was a nice trip down memory lane!

    • @k.ellymoon
      @k.ellymoon  4 роки тому +1

      @@maureenm5779 I would say that it is relatively easy to find a social group since you spend so much time with your orientation group during the first week. You might not get close to everyone within the group, but I met one of my closest friends from my orientation group. Furthermore, during orientation week there are many opportunities to interact with other people so that getting to know people is much easier. I met most of my friends at orientation. From my personal experience, making friends in class is harder because everyone is so focused it is hard to make side conversations. In fact, most friends are made through social events that occur throughout the year.
      The amount of stress depends on the classes that you take. As a STEM student I have readings, labs, and problems-sets that are due every week so I have to be able to manage my time. For my humanities classes there are readings that are more spaced out and the classes are more discussion-based in my experience. I would say that outside of testing week as long as I mange my time, I have enough free time to do things that I enjoy and attend club meetings.

    Hii! I just comitted to Amherst and I am super excited. I would love to have a single dorm, but am unsure how to request one.

    • @kaylako7497

      Congratulations on getting in, that's super exciting!
      I was able to get a single as a first-year through housing accommodations. The process may seem super overwhelming and time-consuming at first, but it's definitely worth a shot! To give you a brief overview of how the process might look, you first have to get the diagnosis form template (www.amherst.edu/offices/student-affairs/accessibility-services/disability-certification-form) and have your current provider fill it out. You'll then want to email your forms to Amherst's accessibility services (accessibility@amherst.edu) and submit the appropriate health forms on the health portal once it goes live. Lastly, you want to fill out the intake form to make an appointment to discuss why you are requesting housing accommodations and how you think it will benefit you. For more clear and better instructions, I'll link the website! --> www.amherst.edu/offices/student-affairs/accessibility-services/applying-for-an-accommodation
      Good luck! Don't worry too much! I hope to see you this coming fall :))

    • @k.ellymoon
      @k.ellymoon  3 роки тому

      I think that this college has the resources that you need in order to pursue the track. Since we do not have general education requirements there is more room for you to take pre-med required classes as well as your major classes. There are many clubs in that bring in speakers so that you can ask questions about things related to the medical field. We also have a counselor that works to guide you so that you fulfilling all the requirements. Overall I think statistically most Amherst pre-med students are able to attend a medical school. If you have any specific questions please be sure to ask! Hope this helped :)

      @@khushimehta8300 I personally have not utilized any of the resources that have been offered due to a lack of time and especially because of COVID. However, from what I hear from other people they do think that they feel prepared. If your end goal is medical school I do believe that a smaller college offers you a better chance for interactions with your professors as well as more personal help.
