WSO College and High School Students (And Parents) - Are You Satisfied With How Your Schools Have Adapted to the Pandemic?
I know the COVID pandemic has been a difficult experience for many people, especially students, who can no longer go to physical classes. I am sure some states, including private schools, have implemented very proactive measures to ensure that students receive a solid educational experience. For...

The intern experience: Best and Worst experiences (excluding the obvious too much work)

Just listen, its from a "Language Career Information Session": https://soundcloud.com/madiha-1/students-question-the-nsa-at I am personally not too impressed by these questions, and some senior guy working at NSA would probably answer them much better than these tools that came to the campus.

It discusses students at top undergrad schools who want to go into finance after graduating and the ways in which they're preparing to strengthen their resumes. Kind of scary how ambitious and competitive these kids are. Thank goodness I'm no...
The difference between kids on WSO and your typical college student
Your typical WSO member is a highly motivated, intelligent (at least some people) group of ppl. Everybody is into studying hard, getting a great internship, working for a prestigious firm, etc. However, most kids in college (or at least at my school) are nothing like this. They care more about...
