THE TRUTH ABOUT SKIDMORE | (why I picked Skidmore, making friends, dorms, academics, & more) 

I actually got my acceptance last night, this video really helped me with making my decision!

Best college video I've seen by far- thank you for being so well researched, this really helps!

amazing video! best college one i’ve ever watched, thank you so much

I wasn't that sure if I should apply for Skidmore this year, but your video really helped! Especially bc you talked about international students and we are normally left out :( thanks!

Thank you for this Video. I was a bit worried about the diversity rate, but your experience is definitely being considered 💜

this video is amazing, thank you for making it!

i got in a few days ago, its definitely one of my top schools, but hearing your perspective definitely helped! can i ask, what was ur favorite memory at skidmore?

Outstanding college. I loved the campus and the students were all very kind. It’s beautiful there. Not one bad thing to say about it.

Visited Skidmore today with my daughter who graduates HS this year. We’re from Virginia. She likes the school. I’m curious about the Fin Aid and how inclusive the culture is. Thanks for your video.

I applied to Skidmore also, BUT, it was definitely lower on my list then my New England schools were (Boston & Amherst were more interesting places to me than Saratoga Springs was) since I wanted to be at a New England college specifically. As for other upstate NY colleges I applied to, Bard & Sarah Lawrence were MUCH HIGHER up on my list than Skidmore was because they were more "alternative" in their educational approach, structure and philosophy. Skidmore seemed to be a great college, but it just wasn't the right "fit" for me. I truly believe that every college student has the "right fit" college for them.

really good advice at 4:18 ty :)

Loved the video, very insightful!! I just have some questions: Is the environment more collaborative or more competitive? Do you feel that the small size affected your ability to have a variety of fields of study? Have you ever felt claustrophobic with the smaller student body and town size? Thank you!!

When I was getting my master's degree in history at SUNY Albany, I would often visit the Skidmore's library for research. Great campus.

Hi, I wanted to ask about the AQR requirement. My Math is very weak so I’ll be starting off with MA 100. Are the classes strenuous? Im extremely nervous regarding the academics, especially the AQR courses like intro to microeconomics. Love the videos by the way!

Hi! Thanks for this video. Do the dorms have air conditioning? What's the internet speed like for a gamer?

thank you very informative

This video was so helpful! I’m a boarding student myself in HS and I was wondering what boarding school you went to?

Hi! Thanks for making this video. You said you weren't an international student so you didn't have to submit the SAT scores. I'm an international student and I'm thinking of applying test optional. Do you recommend I take the SAT and submit my scores for a better chance of getting admitted? Thanks!

I just got accepted a couple days ago and do u possibly know anything abt fye in London for fall semester? Is it worth it?

can you elaborate more about how skidmore is cliquey?

I applied (dk if i got in yet) but i’ve heard that skidmore’s a very cliquey school, is it true?

Do they still have the deal where they will pay you to go and live in a triple?

I Am a low income international student Skidmore is my perfect choice but i heard they don't give good financial aid at all is that true? And if i want to know more details about financial aid there what should i do?

I will be applying for skidmore it really is an excellent option, I would like to know how many essay colleges will I need to apply because I was looking and I did not find anything.

I've submitted my skidmore application . I really wanna study there.

My daughter was accepted today 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Are there any parties on campus? I know it's a bar school but when I enter college I'll be 17 and I won't be allowed in most bars. What fun activities can minors do? Also can major and minor at skidmore?

I’m skidmore 2025 and I really hope things a bit better next year so i can start a new chapter in my life

Is there a gym in school available to everyone

I just submitted my ED today to Skidmore!

so what im hearing is i shouldnt go...?

Tremendous school ,

You talked of financial aid, was it a full ride?

Even though there is a larger female ration did you still find that people got into relationships often? Or was it all just hookups?

Is hook ups more easy for men since there more girls there?

Exactly the sort of college that you end up a degree, and everyone knows that any graduate will be insufferable and difficult to work with.

Party scene sucks :/
