Thank you We sneak in University pros and cons What

00:11

would you say The top three pros of a university

00:14

I'd say a big university for one thing every single

00:16

day when you walk around campus you're going to see

00:19

hundreds of people that you might have never seen before

00:21

And so the potential of meeting people is always there

00:25

it's a big time school spirit if you want to

00:27

be having students every single day with those school colors

00:30

on the sweatshirts the window stickers on a big level

00:34

and you go to the basketball game and you can't

00:36

even hear when it's done because the area is so

00:38

packed That's not a big thing university is also have

00:42

a lot of name recognition around the country who hasn't

00:45

heard of the university of michigan or the university of

00:47

california citing name recognition even outside the state carries really

00:51

far So what would you say were the three biggest

00:54

icons of a university I'd say three big things that

00:58

probably some students don't like about the universities are that

01:01

they can be a little impersonal and if you need

01:03

to change a class or talk with an advisor sometimes

01:06

you're waiting in a long line or you get to

01:08

that office and find that there are a lot of

01:10

people already there that they don't have much time for

01:12

you And that could be kind of a drag Sometimes

01:15

the perceived advantage of walking around the college and seeing

01:18

hundreds of new people can also be a down side

01:21

because you're walking around and thinking i just want to

01:22

see one person i actually know And if you're not

01:25

maybe really outgoing kind of person you're going to feel

01:28

its pretty impersonal i'd say Also sometimes it's Not a

01:31

great thing If you find out that you can't live

01:33

on campus for more than one year and all of

01:35

a sudden you're closest housing is a couple of miles

01:37

away And he started having to think about parking issues

01:40

and time getting back and forth You'll have more opportunities

01:49

to meet new people Universities are known for their school 00:01:53.743 --> [endTime] spirit Universities tend to have more name recognition Far
