First Years

We wrap up the semester with a debrief of finals season and a recap of the past few months. Veronica and Gillian share what it's like to return home after living independently and Charlotte talks about having been home while friends are away.

We discuss how wealth and class influence day-to-day college life, from dining dollars to Canada Goose jackets and the economic diversity of the student bodies at our schools.

We reflect on the trials and tribulations of college apps and the culture that surrounds the college admissions process, from resume stacking to competitive academics and Ivy League aspirations.

In which we discuss the intersections between friendship + college + coronavirus: how we’ve been making new friends at school, keeping up with old friends from home, and navigating pandemic-related changes in the ways we connect. 

Gillian and Veronica break down what it's like to live on a college campus while learning online, and Charlotte talks self-education during a gap year.

In this inaugural episode, we talk about graduating at the start of the pandemic and how we're going about this first year. Come for the critical analysis of for-profit universities, stay for us rehashing our high school drama in painstaking detail!
