Why I chose Fordham University
The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
Okay, Anyways, before I begin, I just wanted to say Hit that subscribe button. If you want to see more content as a suit in New York, I kind of live this double life in the fashion industry while still being a student at a university here in New York City. If you've a question about my school, my life, my favorite color, my favorite TV show anything you want to know. Anyways, let me tell you a little bit about me if you're new to this channel. My major is new media and digital design, and I'm a fashion studies minor. Since I often film school related content, I wanted to kind of clear things up because ah, lot of people always assume that I am a student, F I. T. Or Parsons just because I am in the fashion industry and I did apply to those schools, so I wanted to make this video kind of like an explanation as to why I didn't choose those schools. So it kind of is a surprise that I might not go to a fashion school and even a lot of the times at events when people ask what I do, I always say I'm a student and they just assume I do go to F I t. Or Parsons. Anyways, I'm gonna explain kind of my process and my thoughts on these different schools in New York City. I was always in the city anyways, and I knew this is exactly where I wanted to be. School was always a huge priority to me because I'm sure some of you guys can relate. I always knew that I wanted to transition into the fashion industry because that's always what I wanted to do. I knew that I was gonna stop dancing once I got to college, and I knew that I wanted to be in New York, so I only applied to schools in New York. I applied to F I. T. Parsons, the new school. I wanted to be like this program where it was like half Parsons, half new school L. I am Pace, Marry Mel Buruk and Fordham Lincoln Center. I didn't apply there because I just, like, knew I didn't want to go there. It just wasn't for me, Like I know I don't want to go here like, I just didn't do that. I always thought I was gonna go to F I t like that just seems like the school for me. Obviously, it's such a well known fashion school right in Manhattan just seemed too perfect. My guidance counselor kind of like right before applying for college, he mentioned Fordham University, and I honestly never heard of it. I like the fact that it was more of an academic school that also had a fashion cities minor. So I added 14 Lincoln Center to the list of colleges to apply to you and to tour, and the only colleges I toward were the new school F, I T. And Fordham. At the tour for the new School, I I just didn't really like the way that the program was set up, because the tour guide made it seem very like up to the individual and, like not structured it all. I don't know, just being like a little high school kid like that made me really nervous because I was afraid that, like, I wouldn't be able to handle that, like picking everything myself. I feel like I wanted kind of to be placed in the right direction at least like the first year. Tour Guide that day also said that you could take any classes he wanted, which at the time I was like, Look, if I'm gonna pay I think it's like, uh, $50,000. Maybe the less structured school is a better option. Honestly, for every school I applied to something different because, like, I just had no clue what it wanted to do. I just figured that once I got and I could just change majors to find something that interests me and then for F i t. The summer forcing your year I took a summer course and I did fashion styling and it was amazing, like the teacher, the people, just a school, the atmosphere. Like I said, I think when it came down to it, I really wanted a school that was more academic just because I felt like I tried so hard in high school. Then I realized, like if I went to a school like, um, I think for F i t. And Parsons, you don't need to submit S a t scores. I like a lot of people, like, if you're watching this animal comment below, if you have the same idea, Fordham is definitely a more academic school. When it's snowing, I can show up to class and whatever I want shorts and T shirts Pretty convenient. I got into every school that I applied to, and I think part of that, like the biggest reason was because of my essays. Also they're like, OK, she does this and this and so I think that's like a good tip have so I could make a super video if you guys want just coming below and also like sorry, his videos all over the place. Before I went to college, I always watched YouTubers going to college in New York because that was like I wanted to live some kind of doing that for you guys because I really enjoy making videos and I have a lot of other contents. If you did recently get into these schools because I know it's none of my friends have been posting that they got into F I t. Another thing. Like, if you're in school in New York City like, No, I guess I'm bad. But also look good for you guys like you're already a step above so many other people. Because just New York being here and going to school here is just an amazing opportunity. I'm so happy that I'm here, but yeah, that's kind of all I wanted to say. I think if you've seen any of my other YouTube videos, like, if you're not just finding me off this video, you know that I always come down to make new friends and meeting people.
