[@stephaniegleason7440]

You can't help but like this guy.

[@JamesJia]

Thank you Stephanie :)

[@biscuitknife4331]

This is absolutely the best tour of Northwestern I've seen on KZbin. Very clear, really illuminating. You should be proud of this

[@JamesJia]

Thank you!! I'm really glad that you like it! :)

[@dmen2846]

who here just got in🎉 but can’t visit because of corona😭??

[@JamesJia]

I'm so sorry :/ Congratulations! Hope you are well and see you next fall!

[@jamesm.3967]

WHO? I give up.

[@zeyuanlyu8582]

I’ve been looking for a video just like this. This definitely helps a lot! Northwestern looks even better than I imagined

[@JamesJia]

Thank you!! =)

[@franciscaneto5214]

very informative and well done video, can you do a video about the dorm choices..please and thank you..

[@JamesJia]

HEY FRANCISCA! thanks a lot, and YES i'll try to do one!! Meanwhile, you can check out our student website called "north by northwestern", it has a pretty comprehensive "virtual tour" and photo gallery for almost all the dorm. :)

[@giohollis6564]

Such a nice video! A good idea for the next one is a day in your life or a talk about the classes you take and how you think the engineering department is NU is like

[@JamesJia]

Thank you! Yeah I'll definitely try to do one! I tried today, but everything is happening so fast haha, I always forgot to snap a video :D

[@artemis.impact]

Incoming freshman here! Thank you so much for this video, especially with the Coronavirus taking all my plans to have a real life tour.

[@JamesJia]

Heyyyy thank you so much and congrats!!

[@CameronGrumet]

Amazing video! I have lived in Evanston for my whole life, but never knew what each of the Northwestern buildings were. I’m going into my Junior year at Evanston High-school, and my college of choice (if I get in) is northwestern.

[@JamesJia]

Thank you! All the best if you decide to apply!

[@jaychang9086]

Best NU campus tour video I've ever watched! Thank you for posting this.

[@JamesJia]

THANKS JAY!! Check out my "1 week at NU" video too, I think the video quality is better haha

[@ryankbr]

Great tour!! The campus is really nice and the walking time-lapse was a brilliant idea! Liked & Subbed :)

[@JamesJia]

Thank you!! I wished I did this video in the spring / summer the campus looks way prettier at those time haha! Also thinking about investing in a stablizer for the time-lapse. Thanks for liking the video!

[@ryankbr]

James Jia i bet it would be great to film spring/summer next year for an updated campus tour! also a stabilizer would totally make the time-lapses cleaner.. i think that’s a great idea!

[@jojokim5617]

So excited! Class of 2026!

[@nazminabbasi1021]

Congrats! Any tips for the application process? I might ED to NU next year!!

[@JamesJia]

Congrats!!

[@andresvillalobos1554]

Thanks James, my Son Andres and Luis and my myself will be visiting NU in March, He is considering the school for Med program. We live in South Dakota and we would love to mee you. his video is awesome. Thanks again.

[@JamesJia]

Hey Andres, thank you for your kind comments. Let me know if you are on campus -- maybe I can show you around! All the best for his application. My best friend is in the HPME program, will be happy to connect them. Contact me on insta or email! ([e-mail])

[@roohahaghar9252]

So beautiful! I have 8 days to write Northwestern’s essay and idk what to sayyyy😭

[@JamesJia]

HEY! Don't worry too much! Think about what is your characteristic and what do you see in NU makes you feel that you belong right here! It can be the atmosphere, or the curriculum, or to me, just Stephan Colbert is enough of a reason for me to come lol!! Be yourself and show NU admission officers that you know this university, and you are a good fit here!

[@ZihangDing-u7d]

what an extraordinary college！

[@sheeltanna1927]

Hi James! Such a great video. Right now I’m applying to schools and I’m thinking of applying to Northwestern Early Decision! I just wanted to know what you love most about the campus? Do u get to go to Chicago a lot with your friends? Or are u always stuck on campus? How are the research opportunities? Sorry for the questions, but I would love to hear from an actual student!

[@JamesJia]

Hey! Thank you and I'm glad you like it. I think one thing I love about Northwestern is how many opportunities there are for me to choose from - I really like the flexibility and the kind of challenges I got here. In terms of physical places (just in case that's what you meant) - I love anything with a lot of glass - so YESS Mudd and Ryan Fieldhouse and Kellogg!! Nahhh, I don't go to Chicago enough - or at least not as much as I wanted to. Life is a bit too busy for me - but that might be because of me only! I know many people enjoy their weekend in Chicago~~ Research is great! Professors are really approachable and there's many research groups that an undergrad can joy - as long as you want to! Check out my latest video though about my life in a week at NU - should be better than this one too! kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4W6cn2Cd7CKpqc Email me at [e-mail] if you have any additional questions - happy to answer! :)

[@avielleshiller3194]

I'm just going into high school but this is making me really want to go there also it's an hr flight from my grandparents so 🤞 that i get in in three years

[@JamesJia]

YES!!! Hopefully you will get in!

[@_Gaby_950]

Great video, James! A bit of an unrelated question: is it feasible to go to Chicago from NU weekly via public transport? And how much does it typically cost?

[@JamesJia]

HEYYY thanks! So we have intercampus NU bus that runs from Evanston to Chicago downtown every weekday, and that's free. For the weekend, you can take the purple line I guess it costs around $2~$3 round trip?

[@_Gaby_950]

@@JamesJia Thank you! That's really calmed me down. What's the purple line though?

[@JamesJia]

@@_Gaby_950 It's CTA (Chicago transit) L line passing through Evanston to Downtown. So it's like the subway system here

[@xagent]

Do bachelors and masters live together in dormitory?

[@JamesJia]

Thanks for the question! The answer is no -- graduate students are not allowed to live "on campus". They have their own graduate housing off-campus either rented by themselves or provided by the school.

[@edwardmak3562]

11:13 I'm curious about why the Norris university center flag was half mast

I think it was for the passing of President George HW Bush but i might be wrong

Do they have mining engineer

[@JamesJia]

Unfortunately, I don't think so :(

What are the requirements to apply to medical school?

[@JamesJia]

hmmm... I'm not sure -- I'm not on a pre-med track. Pretty sure you have to be on a pre-med track (taking certain classes and getting certain grades), and you have to take MCAT..?

[@stephanysantos8385]

Can I do pre-med in this University? ( I'm a international student)

[@JamesJia]

Hey Stephany, yes! You can do pre-med at Northwestern - it is not a major, but a "track" - on this track you will take all the courses (bio, chem etc) that is essential to apply to Medical Graduate School in US. Also consider about HPME program - a straight 7-year accelerated honors medical program at Northwestern! Direct admission to Northwestern Medical School.

[@stephanysantos8385]

@@JamesJia I get it. Can you tell me what do I need for my application? Like... GPA what is the average for example? (Sorry about my English)

[@JamesJia]

@@stephanysantos8385 I believe it really depends on your profile and major. For engineering, normally people have an SAT around 1500-1550, ACT >=32, 33/36. But that really varies! You can find compare your profile with stats from Northwestern official page or online forum to gauge your competitiveness. :)

[@helenacouto5738]

are you a international student?

[@JamesJia]

Yes! My accent was definitely stronger when I first came to the US haha
