A Day in the Life of a Princeton Economic Student

[@gabelevy2349]

how do you film them?

My favorite gif is Jennifer Lopez clapping.

[@NicolasChae]

[@NicolasChae]

haha thanks

[@zidanetan9163]

Every college youtuber : " im running late for class"

[@markhuitron9803]

thats every college student

[@canuck2432]

Lol

[@gregoryopondi4445]

This one does it twice in one video 😂😂😂

[@You-dh1du]

I think the whole "you're at a top ranked school so you're learning from the best of the best" needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Like, I go to a top-ranked college and honestly the best in the field often make for the worst educators. Like being good in your field does not correlate with being a good instructor. Plus, top ranked colleges are usually ranked for their research, and research colleges often mean professors are more focused on their research rather than their roles as professors.

[@NicolasChae]

fair point

[@maureenshea4268]

CommonSense8102 Petty, petty. He’s doing pretty well.

[@You-dh1du]

@@serenatang5739 Well that is quite wrong haha. Princeton is known for their graduate programs, especially in Mathematics. Most if not all top-ranked schools have graduate programs. Also, top-ranked schools are ranked mainly based on the research opportunities they offer, the grants they acquire and the high impact faculty they can obtain. So my comment is very much relevant to Princeton. LOL Also, Princeton is not an undergraduate only institution.

[@Katherine-dp2ol]

True

[@linglee5759]

The best ones leave for Wall Street - no point talking about something instead of actually doing it. Like talking about how to design the worlds best skyscraper to actually getting out their and doing it.

[@tylercaldwell7124]

No one: Nicholas: *Wakes up with hair already done*

[@FrankCirillo94]

I majored in economics and political science in undergrad and I can tell you don't skip your philosophy lecture. It is some of the most interesting stuff you will learn and will help you think about and understand the world in more ways than demand elasticity will. I went on to grad school at Hopkins and am now an economist at the bureau of labor statistics. Good luck with your studies and say hi to Dr. Brunnermeier, he helped me with one of my grad school papers!

[@SagarParekh]

killed it with the edits on this one, especially at 2:19 gonna have to copy that effect some time hahaha

[@NicolasChae]

thanks man!

[@conceptualhoney]

The editing in this video was fire !!

[@NicolasChae]

fire content only

[@stina263]

The editing must have took a long time it looks great though nice job

[@asherbykov6104]

Super impressed by the progress you have made in videography! Really shows practice is key. Been watching since 5k. Congrats on 100k! To many more dreams accomplished 👊🏼

[@NicolasChae]

appreciate it man

[@dalej42]

Assuming those are 1000/2000 level classes, that’s quite an introduction to Econ, but that’s why you’re at Princeton. They must know everyone has a fairly rigorous math background. I will say that Economics at Florida State is taught in the college of social sciences, so the focus is definitely different.

[@Arifulusan]

First lecture was econometrics and probably taught at 3rd grade and second was microeconomics theory you should took that at 2nd grade i guess.

[@sprihapandey3617]

The quality of his videos just gets better each time

[@NicolasChae]

expect nothing less

[@NicolasChae]

Replying to all yalls comments the first 24 hours 😮😮

[@SotaMaehara]

Let's see if he actually does ;)

[@leeciabennett6229]

I'm sure he will❤

[@lizm6506]

I’m obsessed with the music and editing omg yesss nic

[@BeingDrBernice]

You know, I went to Princeton for undergrad and your videos are giving me the opportunity to appreciate the campus' beauty in a way that I did not while I was a stressed out undergrad haha. Nice work!

[@SGrg-jm8lv]

And today there's a doctor title in your name. Hardwork paidoff well

[@Sienadiaries]

This video wow the editing and film just beautiful 👌🏾

Tell me why i thought the background music at 0:00 was “sad and sorrow” from naruto

[@yopuyt136]

I think it's some sort of a remix

[@gitupfalldown5593]

I just got into Princeton! (I was notified through QuestBridge) :) Do you have any videos you'd recommend me watch just to get a feel of the school? I'm really nervous about how hard the school is.

[@quasimthomas5607]

gitupfalldown if you get accepted to an Ivy League , you should be able to persevere through the challenges that are about to come your way 😂

[@fatimazahrah3995]

Hii! Did you get matched to Princeton through QuestBridge? Princeton is my dream school since my sophomore year of hs and I ranked it #1. I can't wait until I see my match results on December 1st!

[@raunaksemwal9211]

@@fatimazahrah3995 So , did you get selected ?

Your Edits are getting better and better by the day ! And yes I love the 360s though they seem distorted sometimes, still cool. Could you interview an international student at Princeton and how the experience has been for them?

Hey Nic, I recently purchased a DSLR and was curious on how much memory should I invest in my SD card. This is for video and and photography purposes

[@NicolasChae]

definitely go for at least 64gb

[@ae3446]

I’m really leaning on pursuing in Economics lol that been on my mind heavy lately!!

[@jackandrews1]

I got into Princeton and turned it down and went to Arizona State. I'm about that love.

omg thank you for this video! i’ve applied to do economics at uni :)

ay welcome!

[@mryoung9219]

Is it just me or do yall love the edits and cinematography??

[@bias4699]

You have great music in your videos

[@syrahrosado7309]

You should do a video on rating the Princeton cafeteria food. Maybe you already have one. Sounds like fun

[@CreeperMan951]

Really digging that camera

[@Woefuleternal]

360 view was killer😂 and the editing was nice too, what do you use to record?

[@NicolasChae]

sony a7iii

[@yusufyarlaqabov7826]

360 is cool bro :)

[@isoccerpluse]

I just graduated as an Econ major back in May. So glad my suffering is over. Problem sets were killer...

[@simko5314]

What do you work in now? I just wanted to know because i plan on majoring in econ as well

[@kvpharmD]

yoooo that intro fire

[@NicolasChae]

innovating on this content

[@RandageJr]

I'm an econ student from Colombia and I studied econometrics with Fumio Hayashi's book. He published the book with Princeton, and it was really helpful tbh

[@filojoaquin]

YOOOOO I lost it when Ariea's song came on! I love that guy

[@maggiemaple789]

What is the note app called that you are using to take your notes?

[@NicolasChae]

Notability

[@skechfreak]

Do you recommend purchasing a iPad pro or a mac book for college?

[@astraea857]

a normal ipad and any laptop with at least 4-6GB of RAM will do you good if you're willing to save but if you have money for those go for it

[@forbesdharma]

Wait I swear economic doesn't have to deal with math, thats why I was considering taking it as I'm terrible at math. I live in Canada and plan on going to queens University, does economics actually have to deal with math?

[@jakezalewski4237]

As an Econ student, Econ has A LOT to do with math. Honestly, the only reason you learn theory (at least in my experience) has been to have a better understanding behind the math.

[@forbesdharma]

@@jakezalewski4237 Jesus I'm definitely gonna rethink taking it then. Thank you for the information!

[@bryanh5524]

I thought the camera quality sucked but then I realized I was on 360p

[@Xtrems]

I also study economics, in Poland. Looks pretty similar, the only difference i see is that i write things down on paper instead of that fancy electronic touchscreen device.

[@aminmazidi5365]

yo nic, this is only a opinion but can you not put gifs in your videos? cuz the gifs only make the flow of the video feels awkward and not synchronize

[@jaiselsingh2626]

best video so far

[@NicolasChae]

thanks man

[@danielroque7493]

Yoo Nic, what’s your opinion on the Microsoft surface laptop 3???? Is it capable of handling college work?

[@NicolasChae]

Surface products are great

[@rohitchivukula481]

lets just appreciate the fact he is in Princeton and he has insane pen twirling skills

[@DIGINick]

Hey Nic! Awesome, interesting and motivational videos! Can you please recommend some books on econometrics to kinda get into it. I’m a student from Moscow State University, from CS faculty and would like to get into econometrics, data analysis and ML.
