We are very proud to admit an impressively accomplished group of club participants in April. In fact, Freshman Club has been joined by students from Yale, Williams, NYUAD, and UChicago, to name a few.

Our first speaker is Emma Grimley. She is a fourth-year student majoring in Urban Studies and minoring in Anthropology at Yale-NUS College. Emma is originally from Vancouver, Canada. She has just completed her undergraduate thesis on the experiences of international school students in Singapore.

Next session's discussion theme is “Urban Culture”. The club members will be delving into the topic of urbanization while sharing personal reflections and experiences.

The first session will be held virtually on Sunday at 2 pm Tashkent time.

We received more than 60 registrations. However, not all payments were processed yet.

2021-11-10 17:09:18 Welcome to Freshman’s New Rubric #IvyLeagueLife!

Freshman’s alumnus and now tutor of our SAT program, Umid will be discussing different aspects of studying and living at Yale University. The rubric will be posted every Monday starting from next week.

Today, he will share some insights on Yale’s Pre-Orientation Programs:

Before the start of the first semester, all incoming freshmen at Yale get a chance to enroll in one of five pre-orientation programs:

• Cultural Connections introduces students to Yale’s campus and cultural resources
• FOCUS allows students to explore the city of New Haven through the lens of local activism
• FOOT offers first-year outdoor trips in the mountains
• HARVEST enables students to spend five days farming and camping
• OIS serves as an orientation program for international students

Torn between the FOOT and OIS programs, I eventually chose the latter. During the OIS, international students attend a variety of workshops about academics at Yale, life on campus and in the US in general.

As part of the program, students get help with opening bank accounts (second image), buying SIM cards, and deciding on the major - all to ease their transition to Yale.

If you are interested in any aspects of the Ivy League experience, ask your questions in the comments, and Umid will be happy to respond to them! #IvyLeagueLife Open / Comment
