SUNY University at Buffalo · Sophomore
I love that my school is very diverse and I love how there are walks of all kinds of people. I really enjoy the community/people in buffalo they are very unique. I was surprised about the shift from college and how hard it would be to manage my time first semester. I wish I knew how to manage my time and to apply to jobs on campus earlier and get a summer job.

Bard College · Senior
Thinking about Bard? Hi! I'm La'Niya ("Love"), a forensic psychology student at Bard College and a transfer student who moved from New Orleans to New York for school. Adjusting to a new city, a new campus, and college life wasn't always easy, but it helped me grow in ways I never expected. If you're curious about academics, transferring, financial aid, housing, student life, BIPOC + Queer experiences, or what it's really like to attend Bard, I'd love to help. Ask me anything!

Carnegie Mellon University · Sophomore
I get the pressure to get into a "good" school. I'll cut through the noise: no generic checklists, just what actually works. Start essays early, summer before senior year, not two weeks out. Chase fit over prestige. Non-traditional stories are an advantage, not a flaw, find your throughline. Depth beats breadth in extracurriculars. I'm a CMU sophomore, capital advisory analyst, nonprofit founder, and pianist who didn't fit one mold either. Let's find yours. Reach out to me to learn more.

UC Berkeley · Sophomore
Hey! I am an international student studying at UC Berkeley. I love hanging out with new people, going out for the craziest side quests and trying good food. Having figured out college applications by myself, I understand how the process becomes super demanding and how much a conversation with someone who's walked the same path can help. Always open to answering any questions at all!

The University of North carolina at Charlotte · Senior
I love how diverse my school is and how absolutely beautiful the campus is. I was surprised to find out how much you can accomplish simply by talking to the right people like starting up your own student organization or how quickly professors are to want to help students find their footing rather by offering jobs or research opportunities. I wish I'd known how to implement the resources the school had to offer because I could've achieved the same level of success much faster.

Arapahoe Community College is great, the teachers are very helpful and they are always open to helping you learn new things regarding your studies. When I started attending ACC, I was going in for Game Design & Development. I was able to learn new things, learn new coding software, and learn what it means to code, and program on different engines.

I’m studying Community Counseling and Nonprofit Administration, and what I love most about RSU is how personal everything feels. Professors actually care, and the campus community is welcoming.

Duke University · Sophomore
What I love about Duke Kunshan? The collisions: discussing Confucius over midnight dumplings, taking the high-speed rail to Shanghai for an afternoon, then returning to a campus where everyone somehow knows everyone. What surprised me: how small the world becomes. A roommate from China, a friend from Brazil, a professor recommending a noodle shop. What I wish I knew: say yes more often to 火鍋 (hot pot) invitations, and conversations that begin with, “Want to grab 咖啡 (coffee)?”
