Hello new Bruins! So excited for everyone who is looking forward to their first quarter in just a few weeks. In this video, I'm discussing the unexpected things that you will most likely encounter during your first year of study. These are some of the things that took me by surprise, so hopefully by watching this video you'll get a heads up before you have to deal with them yourself. On the academic side of things, I'll be discussing imposter syndrome, workload, and free time. On a more fun note, I'll address extracurricular activities and clubs, socializing, roommate drama and money. Let me know if you have any questions!

I think your channel is very underrated tbh... as someone who's really interested in ucla or just the UCs generally, I found that your channel is very helpful. You elaborate your ideas in such a smooth, fluent and clear way.

Thank you! That's very kind

Today was my official first day at UCLA (as a transfer student). I literally cannot express how much it means to me that you posted this video. I find myself in an eerily similar situation (virtually this semester ofc). It is so comforting to hear/know that what I'm experiencing & feeling is just part of the transfer experience lmao. Thank you seriously, I hope this message finds you well!!

@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege 3 года назад

Elise Davis hey Elise, congrats on surviving your first day at UCLA! I’m guessing that this moment wasn’t exactly how you envisioned it but you should be proud of yourself regardless. Trust me, you are not the only one feeling this way. It’s normal to feel behind, but just remember that you made it to the #1 public university in the nation. I hope you get the full UCLA experience soon. Glad to hear you found the video helpful. Good luck with your first quarter!

Yo how did it go would you recommend?

@omarzaifulizan3064 Год назад

After 3.5 years of watching your vids I got off the waitlist and admitted to ucla as a transfer. Thank you, you've been really helpful to the transfer community.

@ylamaddies7876 Год назад

Omg congra do u mind I ask which cc did u go to ?

@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege Год назад

That's so awesome! I'm really happy for you!! (sorry for the late response btw)

@leilasiegel3105 3 года назад

You are so articulate!! Thank you for sharing your story about when you first got to UCLA and your ASL class. I just committed as a one-year transfer and I am super nervous because my entire cc experience has been online so it was a total breeze. I'll definitely keep all your advice in mind. Thank you for making all these videos! So helpful!!

@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege 3 года назад

Hi Leila, congratulations on your acceptance! I think you will have a great time at UCLA. Good luck and thanks for watching

Hi, thank you for your video! My daughter is a transfer student from west valley college this coming fall 2024, I want to know how is student housing off campus is like? in term of distinct, cost and is it safe? how far is the apartment to walk to campus or you have to drive to campus?? is it traffic?? I'm worry, my daughter did not get housing on campus, she got off campus.

@claudiasung 2 года назад

Can you show me how to add classes?

@wesammmm5432 4 года назад

I’m in mt San Antonio college (city of walnut) and UCLA is my absolute dream school. I didn’t take the sat or act in high school though, could I still get admitted?

@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege 4 года назад

Standardized tests aren't required for transfer students!

@jimmyramos1989 2 года назад

Hey, I was born and raised in San Francisco as well---i grew up in the Sunset district. Excited to excel in the fall! Im 33 years old, my job is to get a degree, not to party lol. I have a family--well, my girlfriend and our pets but just the same lol--so my time at UCLA will be with a goal in mind. thanks for the info! Also, GET A CAR! There no way I could live in LA without my car lol

How did you fight off feelings of imposter syndrome after transferring??

@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege 4 года назад

Fake it till you make it

@alisontcheguini2290 3 года назад

Hey! I just transferred to UCLA, and I was wondering if you have any tips for remote learning. This is super random, but this is my first semester at UCLA, and all my classes are online, so I'm kinda worried about managing everything. Also, I've never had so much reading in all my classes, so if you have any tips on that, please let me know! Thank you! I love your videos, by the way!!!!

@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege 3 года назад

Alison tcheguini hi Alison! I recommend talking to your professors about how to be successful in their class. I found the best way was going to office hours. It’s not very common in community college, but trust me EVERYONE is doing it at UCLA. Especially the students who seem like the smartest in the class. Visit not only your professors’ office hours, but also your TAs’. They are so helpful and understanding. The initiative alone is enough to make them view you more favorably if you go regularly. And they’re the ones doing most of the grading. My roommate was an English major and she would listen to audiobooks (at double speed if necessary) to get through all her reading. It was great bc she could do it while walking home from class, exercising or making dinner. Hope that helps! Good luck to you!

Hey Hailey Dollar! Iam new here and really want to join this University after high school. Iam from Africa, and l don't know anything about being *UCLA* as an athletic student. The costs? Food, bedrooms and other social activities like sports.

@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege 4 года назад

Hello! This information is all available on UCLA's website. Please visit the website as I do not know this information off the top of my head and I am also not a student athlete. However, I do have many videos on my channel of my personal experience at UCLA, so if you are interested in that you can check those out. Hope that helps!

@bodirockbeats 3 года назад

Do you feel like a number there? Like is it overwhelming how big the school is and the population/class sizes?

@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege 3 года назад

Hi! No, I felt very comfortable at UCLA.

@jasminelopez6161 3 года назад

Hello hailey, I have a question I am going to be going to my first year at a CSU would I still be able to transfer to UCLA or would I need to go to community college and then transfer?

@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege 3 года назад

Hi Jasmine, while it is not impossible to transfer from a CSU to a UC, I would like to point out that priority consideration is given to students who have not yet had the chance to attend a four year university (i.e. a community college). Hope that answers your question.

@riyashipurkar3283 4 года назад

Hey! Your video is really inspiring. Is there any way I can contact you? Please let me know, I have a few questions.

@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege 4 года назад

Hi Riya, you can either comment on my videos or send me a DM on instagram @/haileyxdollar

@marcain123 4 года назад

Any info on grad school? Or info on scholarships opportunities?

@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege 4 года назад

Hi Steve, I am not in grad school so I cannot really speak to that experience. You can also find plenty of info about scholarships from the university you wish to apply to on their financial aid website. Good luck!

@leilasiegel3105 3 года назад

I noticed you rarely use words like "um" or "like" I'm just curious if that's something you're naturally good at or had to practice? I say those phrases a lot and I am trying to get better but it's HARD!

@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege 3 года назад

I've been doing public speaking for over 10 years so it's all pretty natural to me but keep in mind the way I talk in these videos is very different from the way I talk in real life lol. If you try to slow down your speech you will probably find yourself using fewer filler words.

@mialeitch1789 2 года назад

Hi there, I have a couple of questions about housing, Are there students moving out of places that a transfer student might be able to move into right after a student graduates?

@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege Год назад

Hi, are you asking about campus housing?

@benjaminphillips2848 5 лет назад

Is there any way you can make a video on or just explain applying to grad schools when you came in as a transfer? I'm starting at UCLA this fall and am wondering about if you recommend applying your senior year, or instead waiting till the year after so that your undergrad transcripts from UCLA are a bit more bolstered. Thanks!

@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege 4 года назад

Hi Benjamin, sorry but I really don't know anything about grad school....I'm still trying to figure it out myself. I'm only in undergrad!

@benjaminphillips2848 4 года назад

Hailey Dollar it’s okay! Thanks for replying :)

@wesammmm5432 4 года назад

Where did you transfer from?

@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege 4 года назад

West Valley College

@marcosilvafonseca 5 лет назад

I wish LA public transportation was effective so it wouldn't be necessary to Uber everywhere!

@Bunnylovescoffee 5 лет назад

yes!! If only LA has good public transportation...literally the only thing I'm like "huh" about LA lol

@oscaralvarenga6710 3 года назад

Applying this fall, best of luck 🤞

@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege 3 года назад

Good luck to you

@markboen 3 года назад

You have to live within your means. Budget means budget. If you don't have money for Uber rides, you MUST stay home. If you don't have money for plane rides home, you MUST stay home. Sounds like you slammed your credit card and asked Mommy and Daddy to pay for your credit card bill. Suck it up buttercup!

@HaileyDollarGoesToCollege 3 года назад

Mark, I'm with you on the first half of this comment. The second half, however, is just downright wrong, and I don't appreciate your tone. Let's try to keep it respectful.
