The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
Hey, guys, Welcome back to another video for campus reels again. Today I'm just going to show you some student interviews that I'm gonna be doing. I'm going to be interviewing a junior here at the college. She works in admissions currently, and we're going to hear a little bit about her experience of what she thinks about the college. I am a PPE major with an international business minor. This is my third year at Kings and I am originally from Cambodia. E would say that one of the best things about the academic climate at King's is that we're able to communicate to our professors in a very personal manner. Like I don't have Thio, shoot him an email and weigh several weeks to meet with him. It's easier for me to ask questions to go to office hours, and I feel like for the most part, students get to build a better relationship with their professors than other other schools. Dio I also love the idea of like some students have professors as their mentors, which I think is great considering, um, how intelligent and how wise are professors are? Um, I've been able to build a lot of tight knit friendships here, even though it is a small school, I think because it is a small school, the friendships that you build here very meaningful, and you really get to know someone on a deeper level that I would say walking past them, saying, Have a couple of times and moving on. There are a lot of different types of people at King's. I've definitely met people who are very, very different from I am and the background that I come from. Um, I actually heard about kings when I was a freshman in high school. My cousin attended King's, um she graduated in 2017, but I came out 2018. I was very interested in the idea of a small school, considering I came from a small school and I thought it would be cool to have a close knit community and to be able to get to know people better. My cousin loved King, so I thought it would be a great idea for me to 10 years old as a result of kings being so small. What sets kings apart is that as you're interacting with people and even as you make choices, the choices you're making in college, it really reminds you that everything you do has a consequence and impact, whether it's on someone or something. It teaches you to be very mindful of just everything in life and very aware of your own actions, your own words, piece of advice I would give to future students. Coming to kings would be to find your people as fast as you can. Build as many tight knit relationships as you can, because when you're stressed or overwhelmed in college, these are the people that are gonna be your rock and people that you can lean on. I think that's really important, especially when you're kind of going off on your own breaking away from your family. Um, your value is not dependant on your grades or the internship that you're going to get or what other people say about your work. You are that you have to be doing the things you do for the glory of God and not for your own achievements, and your own success, E would say. One great thing about Kings is that it gives you this environment where it pushes you to really think outside of your comfort zone because you're encountering so many different types of people with very different types of views. I feel like I always come across new ideas or new perspectives that I've never thought of before, and it just encourages you to kind of step away from what you're used to and what inclined to think. There are certain occasions or issues where I come into it with preconceived opinion already. As I interact with people and converse with people, I realized it really just encourages me to reflect back on my own opinions and whether or not first of all, it's basically sound. If it is kind and compassionate to other people, people at King's gives you the same respect as well, where they also evaluate their own opinions and give you the same respect.
