University

Would you recommend it?

Si tu veux vivre l'expérience Universitaire à 100%, c'est primordial. Si tu souhaites vivres l'expérience New Yorkaise à 100%, il faut vivre en dehors de l'université. Attention les cours étant sur 2 jours, tu peux concilier les deux si tu te fais des proches qui vivent proche de Manhattan (Brooklyn, Jersey, Harlem)

🍻 Social Life

What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?

Télécharge l'application Posh, tu auras des soirées partout sur Manhattan souvent gratuite ou moins cher avec une liste RSVP. Brooklyn Ambiance bar et soirée techno Manhattan, boite de nuit, pas forcément incroyable Jersey dépend des quarties mais pas mal aussi et surtout moins cher

🎓 Uni life at hofstra University

Which classes do you recommend… or not?

Choisis les cours pas trop difficile, tu es présent pour vivre une expérience inédite à New York et tu n'es pas à Columbia... J'avais choisis quelques cours de Finance et reste du management Internationale.

Do you have some tips?

Campus cool si tu tombes sur des bons roomates. Attention, en fonction de quel batiment tu choisis, les âges ne seront pas les même. Registration est simple, mais tout le process du Visa US est extrêmement chronophage et complexe, surtout sous Trump. Si tu vas aux US, choisis absolument une University qui est proche d'une Grande ville (SF, LA, New York, Miami, New Orléans). Sinon tu risques de passer ton temps dans une Univ qui se rapproche plus d'une ville mais qui est au milieu de nulle part.

✈️ Travel

Best trips to do?

Juste marche. Les meilleurs quartiers sont ceux où il y a le plus de locaux encore présents avec une économie locale. Greenwich, Soho, Westvillage. Tous les quartiers sont fascinants.

🌆 New York vibe

What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in New York?

Transport assez simple. Pas besoin de payer constamment, tu regardes si les Police Officers sont à l'entrée. Tu peux trouver de super bonnes adresses pas très cher mais dans ce cas là, il faut chercher un peu partout. N'est pas peur de t'enfoncer dans les plus petites rues. fais toi des amis US et internationaux, il faut être sociable car les gens ne viendront pas automatiquement à toi. Tu dois être maître de ton expérience car la culture américaine est assez différente surtout dans côte Est. provoque les rencontres sinon ton échange aura été inutile

💡 Other Tips

Si tu fais très attention niveau budget, tu peux kiffer à fond, il y a toujours plein de possibilité.

🎓 Uni life at Clarkson University

Which classes do you recommend… or not?

Law and Finance have almost require any work. Psychology was very interesting. We did a lot of presentations and team work in Marketing. Operation and Supply Chain Management require more work but we really learned useful things.

Do you have some tips?

The campus is cool not very big compared to American Universities. And the process of registration is easy they send you emails and answer your question very quickly.

✈️ Travel

Best trips to do?

I visited Canada (Ottawa, Montreal, Niagara Falls and Toronto). We rented a car to go there. I also went by bus to New York City and Washington DC. And finally I travel by plane to Mexico (Cancun and Tulum).

🌆 New York vibe

What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in New York?

The University is located in New York State (6 hours from New York City). The city near the University is Postdam. It is a little city with a few shops and coffees. During winter there is almost nothing to do but when it is warmer you can take a walk and stay by the river which is pleasant.

💡 Other Tips

It is very cold in winter so bring hot clothes. People are very nice there so don’t hesitate to go speak to them and make some new friends.
