So how much DID you still end up paying with all scholarships applied?

Here's the cost breakdown of everything I had to pay out of pocket! Tuition: $18,374.00 (my parents and grandparents mostly helped pay for this as this cost was around the cost they pay for my regular college tuition; inclued in tuition are the fuel fees & cabin cost) Travel accessories: $600 (new luggage and other travel gear that I bought for the trip) Medical costs pre-voyage: $297.35 (this includes vaccines and medications I needed for the trip) Visas: $262.24 (I had to get 2 visas for my voyage) Round Trip Flights: $1,382.66 (this is only flights for going to and leaving from the program) Field Programs: $4,044.00 (the money that I was gifted by people and from GoFundMe was used here) Personal expenses on voyage : $3,341.08 (total amount of money I spent on the ship and in-country) Total cost I personally spent was $5,883.33 (not including gofundme money or tuition)

Another commonly asked question I’ve been asked is what did I do to take care of my hair while abroad (especially as a black woman) 1. Protective Style: I heavily recommend wearing your hair in a protective style as it will be easier to manage while traveling. 2. Hair salon on ship: there is a hair salon on the ship and I was surprised to see that they had someone who knew how to work with black hair. However, I wouldn’t rely too heavily on the ship salon bc they change staff each voyage (so they may have someone who doesn’t know how to do black hair). 3. Wearing hair out naturally: once my protective style did start growing out, I decided to wear my hair out in a twist out style for a couple of days. 4. Getting hair done in-country: I made plans prior to get my hair braided in Kenya. If your voyage happens to stop in a country in Africa, I highly recommend getting it done there! It’s super affordable and it’s a great experience! 5. Bring hair care products: In general, make sure you’re stocked up on all your hair care products as they will be hard to find while traveling. If you know how to braid your own hair or install wigs, definitely bring braiding hair or wigs with you!

Hey Taylor thanks for sharing... Is the 50lbs limit for the airline or for the ship. Are you restricted to a certain number of bags and weight to take on board? Also how did you do on weight coming back and did you have enough snakcs 😂
@taylors-world
@taylors-world 11 ай бұрын
The 50lbs limit was for the airline. Semester at sea also has a baggage limit of 2 checked bags, a carry-on, and a personal item. However, some students bought more luggage towards the end of the voyage to fit souvenirs that they bought throughout the voyage. And I definitely had more than enough snacks on the ship 😂 I ended up having left overs and gave some away to friends. Towards the end of the voyage, my bags were still within the 50llbs limit for airlines due to having space for souvinirs after eating/giving away my snacks!

I heard that honors students get first dibs on scheduling classes and housing. 1. With that said, does honors upperclassmen get guaranteed housing on campus? 2. Is housing guarenteed for people who are on full rides? 3. Are there shuttles for some off campus housing?
@taylors-world
@taylors-world Жыл бұрын
1. Sadly no, after you’re no longer a freshman housing is up in the air. Before choosing your housing you have to apply for housing with everyone else. If the university no longer has housing available, you will not get housing even if you’re a honors student. 2. I would like to hope so but I am unsure how housing works for full ride student. 3. Yes there are shuttles for off campus housing that are with the school. I’m currently making a video on how I do transportation living in A&T off campus apartments with no car

Hey, Are you aware that there is a way to get from Greensboro to Charlotte on something called the Flixbus? If so, do you and your friends do that sometimes? It's legit. My son has caught it a couple of times. The prices are inexpensive. It works just like the airlines. The further out you book the cheaper it is. Weekends are more expensive than weekdays and of course holidays are more expensive. Spend the day or get a hotel or Airbnb and spend the weekend.
