## Transcript

[ MUSIC ] At the end of every tour, took notes on my phone just that same day of the different schools, and kept on going notes about the different schools. That way I could really refer to them later when I was choosing where to apply to, because honestly they will start to blend together if your visiting Multiple in a short period of time. Whatever school you decide to go to, just to look at the website, look at the programs they do offer, with academic and extracurricular, and then think to yourself what do I want to know more about these programs? For undecided students, I would say try and get the most information you can wherever you are.

Hear about what the common majors are and why. Even for students that are undecided, they They gotta have something that they like. I mean, nobody likes nothing. And if they don't, if they really like nothing, then maybe they should try one thing first, and at least that would narrow that one thing down, either in the positive or negative direction. I try and take at least one fun class a semester. This way, I could explore other things, be open, learn about new things. But there's definitely a lot of cool things to try out on campus. For any students who are really undecided about college, that's one of the things where you have to sit down and really have to think with the institutions that you visit, can I see myself there?
