Why I Termed from the Disney College Program…

[@Nat_sMagicalAdventures]

Awe! I'm sorry your experience wasn't what you had expected- if we did the program at the same time I think we could've been great friends! you seem very chill from what i can tell through this video :)

[@emmarosestyle4632]

Thank you! That means a lot

[@lizwalter4318]

This was an honest review and I appreciate you being so open about it!

[@carolyneverett762]

Disney should try matching roommates according to lifestyle choices!

[@emmarosestyle4632]

I agreee!

[@brooklynelise5767]

Thank you for this! I am a senior in college and I have always wanted to do the dcp, now im thinking its better that I have waited. It looks like I would be in the same boat as you and been very lonely.

I couldn’t finish your video. I really felt bad for you. My granddaughter is there now. She never really made friends easy either. My granddaughter is loving it and has a roommate that she absolutely loves. I wish you could have had a better experience. Im just so happy she has been loving it.

[@emmarosestyle4632]

It’s ok, it was still very beneficial. I’m so glad that she’s having a blast and has a great roommate!:)

I have not experienced the DCP. But a lot of what is described matches my (not Disney) college experience. Roomates I didn't get along with? Check. Disordered eating? Check. No car? I didn't have a car for all four years, and freshmen and sophmores weren't even allowed to have cars. Sucky job? I had to work in the college cafeteria in order to pay for school, and I had to lug a lot of heavy things and I worked unpaid overtime quite a lot. I just hope people who are thinking about the DCP, understand that it is still *college*, and you will have a lot of the same experiences if you went to a four year school.

[@emmarosestyle4632]

I mean yes and no, the jobs at Disney can actually be kind of fun and tons of people love their roommates and make a lot of friends, it’s just a chance thing. As someone who did the DCP, it is actually really different

[@DelTashlin]

@@emmarosestyle4632 I understand. I guess I was hoping to hear how the experience was unique to the DCP. That's what drew me to the video. ::shrug:: I'm acutally very sorry things were so bad.

[@emmarosestyle4632]

@@DelTashlin it get it! I think the most different thing is how much experience I gained and how much Disney has taught me. Thank you!

[@Roseberrylove]

This is helpful I don’t think I should take the offer. Thank you. I went to Iowa state for a year and hated the walking around part too, not having a car is hell… very useful, authentic, real, and helpful and you are so nice I’m sorry u didn’t make friends but you have a beautiful soul don’t worry

[@emmarosestyle4632]

Thank you!!

[@starbvrst6174]

I had to quit the DCP almost a month in because of my horrible social anxiety, and my roommate always argued with me everytime I came out of my room, so I didnt even feel safe coming home. I feel so guilty for leaving and I wanted to stick it out and go back since I love disney so much, but I feel like my mental health wouldve gotten worse. Im so disappointed in myself for leaving though.

[@emmarosestyle4632]

Girlll terming is not giving up! I’m so sorry about your experience but I think it was the best choice ever to leave.. You’re still brave for even attempting it:)

[@Lalabooey]

Girl I live so close to Disney and never go cause I have no one to go with. Tbh I feel like we would’ve gotten along great cause I feel like we’re both nerdy. I would’ve loved to be you park buddy while you were here, but your reasons for leaving the program are valid! Now I’m really considering if I want to join the program next year or not 😮‍💨

[@emmarosestyle4632]

It’s definitely a tough decision, I’m sure you would have a great time if your willing to put in some hard work haha

[@emmarosestyle4632]

But also the fact that you live so close means that you could have ur car and stuff and maybe still live at home, and that would be so nice

[@Lalabooey]

@@emmarosestyle4632 this is true! Btw I know you made a video in the past where you mentioned this, but I don’t remember which one it was or what you said. But How much does the dcp pay an hour? If you don’t want to answer, that’s ok

[@emmarosestyle4632]

@Lalabooey 16$ an hour and u get payed weekly and they automatically take rent out of your pay

[@Lalabooey]

@@emmarosestyle4632 thank you! 😊

[@Roseberrylove]

15 minute break is pathetic I hate that

[@emmarosestyle4632]

Ikr!!

[@miacolucci6377]

what were classes like (if you took any)??? I haven't heard anyone talk about them

[@emmarosestyle4632]

I took one class and it was really fun!! At end we got like free cotton candy and a meet and greet with characters

[@poisonedyoyo]

Can I just say you look very much like the actress who plays Clara in the French show on Disney+ called Weekend Family?

[@emmarosestyle4632]

Never heard of that show haha but I will look at it haha
