@@SarahLovesJapan Did you get a good feel of the demographics there? I looked up the stats, and it said UNT was mostly white, is that true?

Thank you, I’m glad it helped you! I absolutely love the campus, I’m so excited to go. I’m glad I made this video before COVID attacked 😅 let me know if you have any questions that I may be able to answer!

Sarah Loves Japan Aww thanks for offering to help! I’ll have to join your discord or something 😊 I was actually hoping to teach in Japan starting next year but that might be getting postponed due to current circumstances 😅 haha...

Sydney Simmons Yay! Maybe I’ll see you there! :)

Glad I could help! And thank you 😁

Thank you so much! And I plan to become an English teacher in Japan at first, then most likely a translator :)

Sarah Loves Japan Awesome, foreign countries are always looking for teachers overseas, that’s awesome!

Good luck!!

That’s awesome! I’ve actually switched my major to Japanese 😅 The course descriptions for the Linguistics classes I was going to have to take did not interest me at all sadly.. but I’m super stoked about Japanese :) good luck on your studies!

Same 😂

@@SarahLovesJapan Did you end up applying and enrolling at UNT? A lot of my friends loved it there. I personally like the area as well. When I worked at Spiral Diner we had a bunch of UNT students come through :)

Yes! I have my housing all set up and will be attending in the fall 😁 I’m super stoked!

Ahh, I’m sorry about that :/ most of the big lectures moved to online which really sucks :( hopefully next year will be better!

Dude, congratulations!! That’s awesome :)

For the first 2 years of school, I had no tuition fees because my dad was in the US military, and his children are gifted a certain amount of hours in college for free (paid by the government, or I guess the military). I had to pay for materials and for my books which are usually $200 a semester. I live at home so I had no dorm fees, just paid for gas and my lunches if I didn’t bring one to school. So the college I am at now it’s pretty easy! When I go to this Uni though, the military aid will run out soon, so I will either have to pay tuition out of pocket, take out loans from a bank, or get awarded a scholarship (money given to you by a company or organization because they see a positive future for the student: usually have to make very good grades and meet certain requirements). I’m not sure how much the tuition is yet for me this semester, I am still in the application process. But UNT says their average annual cost of attendance for a Texas resident living ON campus and enrolled in 15 hours a semester (full time) is $25,680. It’s $38,340 average for an out of state student. I will be renting my own apartment, not staying on campus. So that is around $900 or so for my living a month. I’m not sure how much I’ll need for food a month, not too much. Transportation I’ll have to pay for gas for my car, or take a bus. I’m not sure which I will be doing yet, but probably my car. I will have to pay for books as well, and with how specific my classes are getting towards my major, they will become more expensive. Not near as expensive as medical studies though, that’s the same in America too. Nursing is EXPENSIVE. I still have military aid for a little bit longer, but when it runs out I plan on receiving scholarships. I keep my grades as high as possible and I’m doing things to benefit my chances of receiving a scholarship. Hopefully a full ride through college without loans! As for my parents paying for things, yes they will be helping me with the apartment costs. I want to go to school full time, participate in clubs and groups to better myself, and make perfect grades, so they are willing to help out so I can work part time. I’m very blessed to have hard-working, amazing parents. :) Did that answer everything?

@@SarahLovesJapan Yep thank you for answering! It's crazy how expensive tuition is over in the US compared to here and the countries around me. I feel like every student (unless they have a rich background or rich themselves) over in the US will be in a lifelong debt once they finished college paying so much loans. Like the whole thing is an economy on its own. We don't have campus dorms here on any uni unlike you guys have. It's comes down to finding a room by yourself trough connections or signing up at a bunch of websites and apply for them. It can take quite a few months and longer in big cities. How long does the study still last then if you already did 2 years on your old uni? Bachelor is 3 years over here in general plus additional year for masters or sometimes 1,5 or 2 depending you finish everything in time. Plus you want to go to Japan right with that JET program, so how does that work?

R. James Yeah, it’s pretty crazy. I know people in other countries that can’t believe how our system is. My mom went to school when she was in her mid 30’s and she still has student debt. It’ll be paid off by the time she is 50 or 55. I am about to graduate from the college I am at now with an Associates Degree, which is 2 years. A Bachelors Degree is 4 years total. So I will have 2 years left. Two years at UNT once I start there. To apply for the JET program, you have to have a Bachelors, but it can be in any field! So as long as you have some type of 4 year Bachelors, you can apply. A Masters degree is an extra 2 years. So 6 years total. The average for obtaining a Masters is 5-7 years. In general, doctors complete a 4-year Bachelors degree program, spend 4 years in medical school, and then complete 3-7 years of residency training before they are eligible for medical licensing in the US.

Ticket to Ride!

There is one apartment complex that is closely run with the school that has a bus go back and forth often. I’d try looking into that!

Most places are within walking distance...there is also shuttle services around campus

I do not know too much about this topic, but I can say that I see solar panels often here in Texas! People here are more self-aware about “going green” and helping the planet and environment than the stereotype displays. Not as much as other places, but people definitely care here. I collect and recycle all of the plastic bottles and containers that we use in my household. Most people do not do that here.

And yes, Texas is a Republican state; right winged for sure. But there are variations of what people believe and follow :)

@@SarahLovesJapan Yeah that's what I thought. I guess it's just media narrative that shows a bit too much of those things showing a unlikable angle of Americans or a portion (the right wing), while it's not like that actually. It's probably more so that people want to get the cheapest things. Good that you care atleast yeah. Plastic is baddddd, glad people cutting it down.

Surprisingly enough the major oil companies are the ones that are secretly funding a lot of the renewable energy research in the United States. To why that shown in other ways is because we have a lot of uneducated people trying to stick their noses where it doesn't belong. If you don't believe me just search up BP they have a huge project aiming for a net zero in carbon output costing them 25 million of their own money. Now to the question on the Solar panels my dad is a contractor and those things will cost them more than regular electricity would and not a as reliable yet. Some day we will get there but in the United States we still have a lot of research to go.Like how will we dispose of alternative measures of energy like the panels in the future? How can we get renewable energy to run as efficient as the gas and oils we have been running for centuries?. I am a very republican Texas girl because ,I've seen how the left side has ruined economies such as the ones in New York and California, so I'm very bias but also I have facts to back me up... Thanks for the video btw I'm starting there in the fall in their energy engineering program.

@@anamurguia2210 25 Million !? Wow! Ask yourself, how much is BP's total worth of assets, equity, their annual revenue and their profit. Put that 25M in context again. It's like spending less than peanut even for them. And that is even IF it actually is 25M like you say (could be more, could be less). Plus they have to go with the motion anyway for PR ánd not stay behind in R&D as the world is transitioning. Shell does the exact same thing, they invest a little bit here in there in Hydrogen, but by far the majority of that amount is spent on marketing and self promoting. Oil companies are a prime example of businesses with 1 target in mind, that is $$. They're not going to damage their own cash cows they rely upon. I would tread carefully if you are advocating for oil companies.

We stopped there on the way back ;)

Great 😂

@@SarahLovesJapan Are you studying linguistic there now? They also have a good music program there which is what i minored in

I actually switched my major to Japanese! Minoring in Asian Studies :) I’ve heard the music program is amazing! My cousin was a music major there a few years back

@@SarahLovesJapan Yeah I am trying to learn Japanese now because I want to watch the Japanese version of my hero academia. I ever never been into anime until I saw that show. The last episode called "his start" is so good in Japanese but loses it's appeal when dubbed.

MHA is top tier anime. One of my favorites!! Izuku holds a special place in my heart ❤️ and I agree, it’s better in Japanese.
