Year of Firsts - Freshman Year at Notre Dame

312 clips, 24 hours of editing, 8 months of memories, and a broken GoPro later, this is what I have to share: freshman year at Notre Dame was unforgettable.

Now I'm in love with Notre Dame. Damn it.

[@Eagles2010]

I may live in Colorado but with the help of the Lord our God he will help me go there. I need Catholic friends and want a great Education.

[@keepdreaming3657]

Everyone there isn't Catholic. It's very mixed group of religions there. It's pretty cool!

[@1800HaMM]

its over 80% catholic.

I'm from Ireland and would love to experience life at Notre Dame. Genuinely feels like a place with a great convivial feeling too it.

[@klmilliard]

Hi there! I'm a 2012 alum, and one of my classmates shared your video on Facebook. Thank you so much for creating this beautiful snapshot of your Notre Dame experience for a year. It was really cool to see how many of your experiences I shared, but also the parts that were unique to you. And, as a Chorale alum, I have to thank you on behalf of the current members for going to see Messiah! Hope you enjoyed it.

[@manmantoutou6546]

Just get in ND this morning! Go Irish🍀 #ND Class 2021

[@whatsuprae3802]

congrats!

[@TheLeprechaunjm]

Even without the AMAZING video, you've got memories (and friends) that will last you a lifetime... speaking from experience, Univ. of Waterloo (Ontario, Canada) Class of 1987... and a ton of guys who are my friends even though we've all past age-50!

[@claireelyons3915]

the fact that i saved this to my motivation playlist four years ago and now I'm going to ND this fall >>>>>>

[@byromania]

Congratulations! ND is absolutely amazing!

[@carolines2232]

@@MichaelMcRoskey Thank you!!! :)

[@NerdySquirrely123]

I just got deferred hdjakhdsjd wow I want to go to Notre Dame so bad. There's still hope💚

[@chrxma207]

I'm a kid and I've been to a football game and on the campus where dorms are, it was so fund that day, best day ever

[@ivysport]

This is a brilliant video and so well captures your freshman year and the Notre Dame experience. Every college should look at this on how best to tell their story to incoming freshman.

[@bingusbongus3404]

Ugh, I'm trying so hard to get into this school. I don't even care if it's not an Ivy league or even in the top 20, it's just so amazing, the culture and history there is unmatched. In highschool I didn't do too well my first semester of my Freshman year, then things progressed and I ended up getting straight A's my second semester, and then I consistently got in the 3.8-4.0 range. I'm a junior now and it's been 3 years since I've gotten anything lower than a 3.7, everything is going great, and I'm really excited to take the ACT because I've been studying for it for over a year now. The predicted outcome from my tutor was a 34! I'm really hoping, because that puts me in the 75th percentile of applicants, and I'll really have an edge over other people. I just hate all the suspense, i don't mind the school work, I just mind the waiting.

[@lauren.7267]

Bennett Walker did you get in?

[@Matthew-rs6rq]

It is ranked 18 in the United States!

[@bacithefencer]

I'm going to be a freshman next year, fall 2016...this video just got me so hype!

[@rr7firefly]

Ah yes, the South Bend winter. Who could ever forget that? When you are in it you may not know for sure if you are awake or still asleep. It has a soporific effect.

[@4600norm]

Very well made video. Makes it seem as though you are really there.

[@brendyfanfan8067]

this makes notre dame seem amazing!

[@Kironkp]

Incredible

[@jschauer31]

Notre Dame has always been my dream school! I have a 3.8 GPA, gonna take the ACT this week and hoping for at least a 33. Do you think I could make it?

[@lauren.7267]

Liam Moore weighted or unweighted?

[@SaraiMalik]

My dream university. I'm probably not smart enough to get through the admissions there but there is hope for everyone I guess

[@fabishipley884]

What editing software did you use for this video?

[@AndreCatao]

Any tips for incoming freshmen?

[@mackswift1316]

Hi. I was wondering if I could contact you through email to get some of my questions/concerns adressed about the university of notre dame

[@MichaelMcRoskey]

Sure, happy to answer questions, email me at the "business inquiries" email on my profile: kzbin.infoabout

[@Khuluddd]

[@airsoftXalex]

What GoPro did you use for this??

[@MichaelMcRoskey]

a GoPro Hero 4 Black

[@airsoftXalex]

+Michael McRoskey cheers, did you use it for all the footage??

[@MichaelMcRoskey]

+alex holden I'd say like 90% of it, the rest would have been shot on my iPhone 5s and just a couple clips on a Sony DSLR. I did color grading and some stabilization in Final Cut Pro X, but also used a GoPro stabilizer (Feiyu) for some of the smoother wide angle shots

[@airsoftXalex]

+Michael McRoskey love it man, keep up the videos, they're amazing

[@MichaelMcRoskey]

Thanks dude, appreciate it!

[@liammac18]

What dorm are you?
