Day in the Life of a College or Gap Year Student at Semester at Sea 

Izzy Kay ME

Good for you! :)

Sameee

That's awesome! Let's get you started early by checking out some of our scholarship, work-study, and financial aid options. We have gap-year programs available too! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qrCaNGTDd9s.html

literally me rn

yeehaw sir Lmao into the ocean 😆

yeehaw sir They probably have some system for that since it would probably be very common

Imagine the ship sinking )::

Sorry sir, my homework fell into the ocean. Can I get an extension?

The ocean ate my homework

except it’s college so it makes it better!

@@pamelasamazingworld711Mendoza exactly! :D I would love to take a semester like this... but heck, I rather spend all that money on flight tickets and travel without doing exams :D

QueenBea I wouldn’t say better.

@@gabimcryan depends, if you really wanted to do this could always try for scholarship.

@@mitsyy1148Mitsyy yes, but even with the scholarship I still would need to take a loan. I travel low cost a lot, that´s why I know that for me it would be waste of money, that could be used elsewhere :) But it´s just me personally :) I think it´s great, that something like SAS exists, and a lot of young people participate in this :) I bet that the community and atmosphere must be amazing on a ship :) And I think my opinion is different mostly because I am not from USA.. I'm from Slovakia, where University is free of charge and all I need to pay are common life expenses like food, accommodation etc.. :) I might be looking at this differently if we would be forced to pay for education :)

Regina Phalange well they are at sea so there is probably a limited amount of water avaliable

Y'all think that's expensive?! I just stayed in a hotel, and laundry service was 3.00 per panty, 5.00 per shirt, 8.00 per dress, 10.00 per pant, 20.00 per suit. And y'all think 6.00 for a bag and you can fill it how full you want is expensive?!

@@justgigi9545 staying in a hotel is usually only for 1 week or less and this program is a whole semester. Imagine paying $6 every time you did your laundry at home

@@claire7741 it's still equal to the cost of laundry service. Have you ever paid for laundry service in your city? Not sure where you live. Miami and New York process could be more. In LA, i also know it would be at least 28.00 so 6.00 is still cheap.

She's taking a semester of college on a cruise ship what did you expect

Judging by the video she has a few spare ones with her

aly simone basically university hahaha

It’s college, alot don’t have desk anyway

makaya colleges at least have a pull table top thing in lectures

We rarely use desks in college. We do everything on the laptop.

the schoolwork is centered around laptops rather than paper so they have no need for desks

Yeah she sounds like this is just a home tour (which it is, but it’s different because it’s on a boat.)

IKR

whoa i didn’t even realize it was a commercial that’s how good she is

Callum b I thought it was a vlog lol

I saw thinking the exact same thing and hoping somebody else noticed 😂

@PRESTON BRANTON Affordable for an "American" expensive af for a Canadian

@PRESTON BRANTON I can only speak from personal experience in Ontario but average tuition is 6 to 9000 dollars for each year depending on your major. I paid another 9000 for rez + meal plan. So in total for my second year it cost maybe? 18,000. But I only ended paying for my living costs (9000) because of the various grants we can get (I took out zero loans). But provinces like Newfoundland for example tuition is dirt cheap like 2000 for a year in university. Out of province people used to be able to pay "in-province" fees but they changed that and now Canadians outside of Newfoundland pay maybe 3-4000? which is still significantly cheaper than ontario. Now if we're talking about colleges/polytechnics (Y'all americans call them community college) that is even cheaper. Around 4-8000 depending on your program.

@PRESTON BRANTON The textbook situation here is really cheap, I paid at most 500 dollars in first year textbooks? 400 in second year (some can even be found online) Can't really tell you about the job market, I'm not too informed about jobs and still am in school

You put in words exactly what I had in thought but couldn’t formulate...cause I couldn’t wrap my head around all of this luxe 😩

How is this privileged? Should people who have money not be able to spend it? She isn't hurting anyone or getting an unfair advantage, she's just enjoying life

😂same

@@Leyla-pq3feI mean I just save

True😂

Idk. I did the math and I qualify for a lot of the scholarships they offer. With some elbow grease and hard work, you can easily cut the cost in h a l f. For me it would cost 11k to travel to 15 countries for a semester. That is insanely cheap considering this is a COLLEGE. The vlogger here, for example, is getting 4k for doing these two minute vlogs and all of her flights will be PAID for. You can do it! :D

😂😂😂

That's a thing I would do 2hours onto the ship

Honestly my dumbass would manage that

Lol it happens. We had one kid on our ship lose his glasses 😂

@@IAmAPurpleLewie lmao mustve been fustrating

Welp they should've installed an apple store

i happend to me once.

I WAS TERRIFIED I CANNOT HANDLE SEEING THAT

Same. I was just like "gurlllll" 😂😭

This is why I have a pop socket, so my phone doesn't just yeet out of my hands

I knooooow!!!! Someone commented about papers flying away but I was scared about the phone falling from her hands!!!

it can actually be 26,000+ but it depends on your room.

that’s more than my mum makes in a year

You can get so much more for that same money. A basic cruise with a wayyy bigger room on for instance Holland America Line is cheaper and more luxurious....

@@keirawashere5087 I KNOWWW

@@groanz5710 but the duration would be not as long

code name woah u read my mind

Same 😮😮

Yes

code name meeee

Me

Freddy Spaghetti : oh damn

Ah interesting

I had to do handwriting practice during lunchtime when I was in primary school for holding the pencil like that

@@Ronakvevo same, the teachers made sure we didnt write like that

Pain

Moon Berhane *only* six dollars

My brother went there and it's a rip off he spent probably 100+ dollars on laundry and it's impossible to have fun because the schedule is packed with other things there also not a lot of black people my brother felt like he was the only one there I honestly rather go to a normal school on land

Wendy Williams ugly cousin not a lot of black people ? LOL ok ?

@@desiree1019 well I'm black I'm just saying there's not a lot of diversity

Moon Berhane I was just on one this summer and I noticed the stairs looked the same

Herxmoy when i was looking at it it’s around 29,000 to 31,000 a semester and depends on the actually rooms

@@oogabooga4753 and you even still have to pay 6$ to get your laundry washed? ohmagod

it’s 29,000-40,000 depending on what kind of cabin you want

Two of my semesters at sea were $3000 each. The other was I was paid $3 an hour! But I went to a maritime academy, so we ran the ship, did the maintenance and navigation and went to class. Laundry was done for you for free but there were no smoothie bars or manicures ⚓️

Sloan Glover it’s much more expensive because we all have to pay for the damage the carbon dioxide does for climate change and we have to pay for that all, this is the stupidest i have ever seen

random cat on the internet it’s for that tiny bag!!

What about the shit stains

tom111 😂

Julia J lol same

She's rich so.??

dont be fooled

Dirty napkin kingpin and expensive

because you graduate with a double degree in Herpes & HIV

And so expensive

This seems like it would get very boring very quickly tbh. I can't even stay on a cruise for more than a week

Yeah ist only above 30k per semester😂

Tessa Kelderman that’s what’s nice about them most likely having rich parents (or having saved money if they did)

I think some things are included

Whole thing is $30,000 plus additional fees, they for sure have rich parents

@@rohankumar3884 or they could have worked for their money themselves or saved up

Tessa Kelderman I mean, on regular cruise ships you pay flat out amount for food and drinks. Wether or not you spend that amount or not. Maybe even go over, which is usually the point; to eat food. It’s like a dorm room in a college. You can pay ahead of time for food; package deals. I can’t say for her getting her nails done and paying for her laundry to get cleaned. Probably has saved money for school, or has a job, or just rich.

omm

omm

As somebody who’s been tons of cruises who has motion sickness, you don’t get motion sickness because the ship is so big and slow that you won’t even feel it moving, obviously you will if there’s a huge storm or something though oof

@@JagiJams and as someone with extreme motion sickness and a fear of throwing up, I'm not taking any chances

@JagiJams I have motion sickness and on the first (and only) cruise ship I went on, I felt sick pretty much the whole time. Seas were calm from what I remember. Anyway, I think it depends on the ship and the severity of the person’s sickness.

its actually not so expensive!

allie the cost of this is the amount my family makes a year 😭 hopefully i get a nice job so i can afford to do stuff like this lol

So, I have been saving for Sas for 2 years, I am by no means rich. I have been doing jobs and saving every penny. You can also get a ship job which takes 3000 off of your voyage cost. You can also get a room for 15000 on the ship . There financial aid is also very good

Or in debt

Kenna Parker hahahha

😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭I thought it was only me, but I was thinking of the ship Sam enemy on Icarly went on after Freddy gave her the ticket

im pretty sure they get used as regular cruise ships when they aren't housing students

What ship was it?

Brenna Olewinski During semester at sea it’s the World Odyssey. During the summer season it’s the German luxury ship called “Deutschland” which has been one of the most famous ships in our country due to a TV show called Traumschiff (dream boat).

like 40k

I think its 20k per month

Alec Butt FUCK NOOO !!!

Hannah HELL NAH

Pamela Mendoza yes meals are included

Holy jesus

More like $32k for half a semester

Actually aint too bad when you consider some private schools are like 60k a year.

It's a waste of money my brother went there and he paid 100+ for laundry also there was no diversity and there was no time to work out or have fun cause the schedules packed and the food is gross too yes it's a good idea but not worth the money and you can get a better education else where that's why I'm at University of Delaware

Wendy Williams ugly cousin Oh, that’s sad he didn’t have a good experience!! :( good to know though.

It's not awesome. Cruiseships are the worst pulluters on this planet. There is no need for some privileged assholes to go "study" for one semester at sea. It's unnecessary and dumb. Sorry for being so negative but this is really grating on my nerves 😅

Nadja K no not at all, everyone is entitled to their own opinion! :3 and you’re right, boats definitely don’t benefit our air haha

@@nadjak3410 you are right my brother came on a scholarship and it was hard to fit in cause all the kids are spoiled

alex lawless its about 20,000$

You dont really have to be rich because it is the same price as college tuition

Plus u get to go to other countries

My friend conducted a semester long project for a scholarship and did the semester free. There are ways to get around the price. Plus if you were to price out flights, visas, inoculations, food and board it would also be expensive. 13 countries is not cheap, and you’re getting a full semester of college credits through a well known school.

Kristina Nguyen it’s 26k a semester lmao

a STEAL

Laundry mats are SO expensive though. Definitely more than that per wash normally

Alli ?? You mean dry cleaners or smth?? The most expensive laundromat I’ve seen is $5 total for wash and dry

I live in Japan and it costs me $7-$9 to do my laundry at the laundry mat :// I'd love for laundry to be only $6 for how often I do laundry 😂

But the bag is so small

SMILE NUTELLA righttt

Love how she said “only” $6😂

SMILE NUTELLA it’s honestly not that bad, at my school in Dublin it’s like 4 to wash then 2-3 to dry

@@sidneywilson8080 I live in kildare lol

just dont get your clothes dirty. you’re not doing anything crazy

LaReina5150 That’s what I was thinking

Claire Brianne Pretty sure it doesn’t cost much more than a normal college tuition. It’s less than most people would pay for out of state tuition in America

@@georgiaday5084 I checked and its minimum $26k, for ONE semester.

@@gaellequelquechose for the whole year sure but for one semester hell nah I ain't made out a momey

alasmychicken damn I wouldn’t even want to pay that much for a whole year, hella expensiveeeeee

Claire Brianne I mean it’s only 20k

Melody Kaiswatum i don’t see any mean comments-

Liliana S.O Lmfao

I didn’t see any mean comments, I only saw them saying she’s probably from a wealthy family and most college students who don’t have a great job lined up out of high school couldn’t afford this.

"She is nice" lmao. Imagine thinking you can judge a person's character based on a four and a half minute commercial...

@Puck Daily No need to be a jerk about it. When you start saving for your child’s education from a young age, you’d be surprised at how much money there’d be for college. It’s not like they dropped 20K out of nowhere, they saved for this.

Nope someone did the math and a real cruise is much more expensive

For the length of this program, this is cheaper

U could go on an actual cruise for like years for 40k

sarah Pallardy yep. I can only dream of doing this.

Rich parents

includes meals and tuition lol (but not flights, visas, immunizations and travel stuff) i think it makes sense.... but yeaaaa you gotta have money

Can go all the way up to $40,000 a semester

Taylor n same, I was invited on a 7 day cruise and by day 5 I wanted to get off. I hated being on a boat for that long. Don’t get me wrong I had a blast, but at the end of it I couldn’t wait to go home.

I actually wanted to spend a gap year working on a cruise. I won’t have to pay rent or other expenses so I think the money one makes is pretty decent. But I did some more research and now I’m unsure. A lot of people go missing (trafficking and the cruise companies spend a lot of money to hide the bad press) and many of the international crew are treated unfairly. Staying a ship for 8 months never crossed my mind as a main concern but I think the job would have to be worth it

Lily L. Dang wow

You do you I'm getting on that ship Goodbye matey

I’m in the marines, try spending 6 months on an amphibious assault ship, this would be heaven compared to it.

True 🗿

I KNOWWWW

I share the exact same opinion! The concept is great, but the execution (by which I mean the entitlement and privilege) just makes me want to throw up.

ansjovis Ruyters at least you’re not paying for it. Unlike the vomit-inducing entitlement exhibited by supporters of Democratic Party, who feel entitled to leech off the success of their fellow Americans.

@@14534 and even if I was paying this tremendous amount of money for one semester at a university (which I honestly can't justify spending, I'm so grateful tuition is muuuch cheaper in Scotland), please leave politics out of it. This is not a political discussion.

Also it's probably terrible for environment.

Imagine what will happen Rose

Bonita’s Life yep it is

Well that's exactly how the ocean looks like when you have a good day at sea so I don't think there was any need of going through all the trouble of a green screen.

If u’ve ever been to a cruise its legit that pretty

Cactus Jack I’ve been on a cruise 4 times and I know for a fact that it’s incredibly pretty but that ocean clearly looks unnatural it’s what you would see in an advert. Look closely it is clearly not a real sea despite how pretty it actually is.

@@natxshap Idk what to tell you girl, on every cruise I've been on the ocean has looked like this (except on the odd cloudy/rainy days), both on the Pacific or the Caribbean. So I really have no idea why you haven't had that experience. Not seeing the ocean like this on one cruise it's normal, but going to four cruises and never getting to see it like this? That's a lot of bad luck sis :/

Same, definetely not my level

It looks like getting a subpar education while destroying the ocean and polluting the environment for one whole semester.

Stir Fry hah your not alone

Same

Personally, the 20k check scares more

Stir Fry tsunamis 😳😳😳

Semester at sea is for college students

@@althea6051 I didn't even realize the title. Damn, I'm dumb. I doubt my parents would let me.

It cost $30,000 u have money?

@@hanbulban3131 Definitely no

su myeon It’s around 20,000 for a semester😂

@@Whydtheyaddusernames are you kidding???? That's insane

@@Whydtheyaddusernames its actually 26k-32k depending on the room

B Q welcome to college. that’s a pretty normal tuition

@@davidr5029 i mean not for me! In Italy you don't pay anything near that

Suite*

*Suite *Zack

Girl I wish NYU was only that much!! I worked so hard to get in but I can’t go because a full year tuition is 80k

meanwhile $25k for my whole degree in canada 🤣

Just go to a cheap state school. Employers literally don't care where you went, they care about experience.

Found the paid commenter

update?

@@debbyslookingatyou3066 money said no :c

Rose risky how?

i was thinking about the titanic during the video lol

smilie town same I just could notttt

smilie town same 😭😭😂

It the sewol ferry incident which has fucked me up ever since. Makes my phobia of the ocean even more worse

yeah but wait till you hear the price lol

I mean people usually start college with not knowing anyone. You still get a roommate too, even tho the rooms are probably a lot smaller

xJess_ica the same price as college

Keira Nicole it’s not. Unless you’re going to an Ivy or Ivy League equivalent school you shouldn’t be paying 26000-30000 for one semester of your education without everything included in that price. Granted you’re also paying for a vacation so you could weigh the pros and cons I guess. If I had the money I’d definitely do it though.

its probably because you have to pay for wifi

I mean it’s a 5 minute video, people probably put there phones away for filming.
