[@milespq5561]

I hear New Haven locals try to hit Yalies with their cars😂

[@bundakissa]

There's always tension. The students call the kids "townies" which carries connotations of low socioeconomics & low education. Town residents feel an inferiority complex and resentment, but depend on the schools for work.

[@milkyasadmasu4943]

Question: Can you ask each person to talk about their school’s financial aid opportunities and how they support their students? What opportunities does each student at their schools have? Thanks!

[@cageynerd]

All Ivies are need based now. If you need the money, they will give you grants to the full cost of attendance. All you need to worry about is getting in.

Great video :-) From the perspective of another Cornell student, I think it's so interesting to see how different my experience can be from Chuka's.

[@jessz6321]

One thing about Cornell’s freshman housing - I think they changed it to random assignment two years ago. There is program houses with different themes(music, sustainability, lgbtq+ etc.) that you can apply if you wish to live in one of them. Otherwise the process is random.

[@ellyconrad]

As an incoming freshman at Cornell, this year you have the option to either go random or select a roommate based on the housing survey (matching similarities based on cleanliness, bed time, etc.) or select someone you already know. I chose to select someone I already knew :)

[@kirkyklee7828]

Question: I’m curious about why each person chose to go to the college of their choice. Like did anything specifically set one school apart from others? And also about their experiences overall in each school

[@gorgeouspencils599]

Well one thing is that they may not have had other options. The people whom chose to go to Brown, Columbia, Dartmouth, maybe even UPenn might not have had the option to go to Harvard, Princeton, or Yale. Also, money is a huge factor for most. Besides that, there are many other possible reasons why they chose their specific college.

[@gorgeouspencils599]

@Mohammad Ayman I said it could be A REASON. I never said it was the only reason considering they are all fantastic schools. Columbia's acceptance rate is 5.9, Brown's acceptance rate is 7.7, Dartmouth's acceptance rate is 8.7, and UPenn's acceptance rate is 8.4. Harvard (4.7) and Princeton (5.5) are lower than them all. Many people can be accepted into one and not into others which inevitably factors into where they go. There are obviously other factors, so I would never say that people go to a school solely because they may have been rejected from another one, but it is a reason for some people which is why I listed it in response to Kirky Klee asking why some people choose the college they choose.

[@samistarz9364]

[@jadexu6436]

How do you balance your social life and schoolwork? Are the courses rigorous or manageable? Do you have many options for your courses? Especially in these top schools, do you have time to socialize and make friends? How many courses do you take? Is your schedule flexible? How much time do you spend every day on homework? Where do you typically study or do schoolwork? Are your dorms nice and safe?
