Meet Elizabeth, from The King's College!

The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

Hey, y'all, My name's Elizabeth Piazza and I am a freshman here at the King's College. I am currently from Destin, Florida, which is in the Panhandle, so a lot of people don't know where it actually is. I am here at King studying politics, philosophy and economics, which is our PPE track, which is one of the core majors here at the college. Things is such an amazing school from our spacious luxury apartment style door, moving to the one on one connection that we get with professors. You'll never find more of a strategic institution here in the heart of Manhattan, especially in the financial district where we get toe learn alongside some of America's most top hitters. While kings may only be roughly 500 students, there is an atmosphere of community everywhere you go. I've never gone on the train a day since I've moved here, where I haven't seen another fellow Kings in which is just a short term for a person that goes to the king's got the way that our school prioritizes community is through our house system. We're decided which house we're gonna be put in before we even come to the college. So it's really awesome, because over the summer before you come in the fall, there's people that are damning you on instagram or getting your number and they're texting you and they're asking how you are and how you think the process is going. They're just very much excited to see you come on. Campus things is very different from other colleges. King's actually only operates out of an office building on floors 15 and six. You're actually in a two bedroom apartment that has a house, laundry, a dishwasher, Ah, full bath there and and obviously a massive living room. That's just such a blessing here in the New York in New York City. So within that, that community is just broadened because Kings actually owns a couple of levels of this apartment building. You're just always around like minded people who are there to spur you want and just build you up our housing locations. They're actually only two stops away from the King's College, which is about a 15 minute train ride. My funniest story about being here, one of the things that I tell everybody when they're like, Oh, why do you like living in New York City is? Well, once while I was riding the train to school, there was a pigeon that walked underneath the turnstile, hopped on the train, and on my way to school he hopped off on the stop right before Wall Street, which is where we get off for school, and I was just like, Oh my gosh, this pigeon just didn't want to fly today. He's just a normal New Yorker, and that is something that you will get used to. If you do end up, coming to kings is taking the train and being like the pigeon and just learning how to navigate through the subway. The transition from high school to college is difficult, but here it kings. The transition from college to beyond is so much simpler because we live in apartment buildings, we get to cook for ourselves. We get to learn how to be clean and have our own space and learn how to live with it. As college students going off after we graduate and into the rest of the world, that is such an amazing and awesome skill toe have as a perspective student, actually came to visit the King College in eighth grade, which may seem a little bit early to start looking at tours. It was just a school trip, and I was not looking to look into any colleges at all. My teacher at the time was like, Hey, let's go visit this college. It's just you all will have to get used to looking at colleges for the next four years, so why not? We start now? And so I was a little skeptical at first, but whenever we walked into the building in the atmosphere of everything. We're like, This is a school that you're going thio That moment actually happened right in front of our honor code built off of a military cream after I became of age to actually start visiting colleges in my engineering senior year of high school. I did not visit Kings again, but I did do their summer academy program. Summer Academy is actually a program that you can do over the summer where you can learn under a professor under a specific topic for a week. So you're actually learning how to be a student here and feeling it out. It's actually, honestly one of the best ways to be integrated into a college, and you kind of get to see the workings and the ways of how everything is run. Um, and you just get to see how the teaching south of professors is. While Kings offers a plethora of majors and miners, just the transition into the city alone kind of tops moving into college life. So while you're trying to learn how to become a better student and how toe learn in a new environment, you're also learning how to be a New Yorker. If you do end up coming here, just getting arrested in that while you're going through the application process and just expect it will be hard. That's why your house system is here and the exacting in each house system is here, and students and already involved students are here for you as well. Just, um, encouragement to anybody that's going through the admission process right now. Before you even come on campus, you get to know what you're gonna be living. Month or two before you even come to the King's College, you'll even know who your roommates are.
