Wondering why you don’t receive an instant response from your dream school? This great YouTube video from Dartmouth College relays a few impressive facts regarding the admission process from actual college admission professionals!
Here’s a few of the highlights from last year’s process (and we’re guessing that this year will be even bigger!): Dartmouth Admissions read 40,000 teacher recommendation, received college applications from 138 countries, and looked over 187 applications from people named John. You know My College Guide loves when colleges get personal and this inside look at the Dartmouth College admissions process is certainly insightful and worth a look!

It’s probably pretty obvious that My College Guide loves Facebook. From the Facebook college class list we compiled (stay tuned for an updated edition) to our own My College Guide Facebook Fan Page: we can’t get enough!
But, we must admit, even we get tired of the Farmville requests. Check out this funny look at Facebook in real life from the creative students at Ottawa University. Produced by OU’s own Braves TV, the student group in charge of creating videos for Ottawa University (would that look nice on a resume or what?), it’s a real world look at life as Facebook. Watch Ottawa University: Facebook in Real Life on YouTube or below.

My College Guide has pointed out the unique trends affecting education majors before, and when we watched this education video, we knew we had to share! It’s no secret that here in the US children are lagging behind when it comes to anything STEM related (that’s science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).

But education majors at St. Catherine’s University have a unique opportunity to regain a comfort level with math, science, etc. that, for many of them, they’ve never even had before – and afterward, they will be able to successfully pass that confidence and enthusiasm along to the children they teach in an effort to turn around the current trend.
The National Center for STEM Elementary Education at St. Kate’s is changing the way elementary teachers will teach! St. Catherine’s University is the first to create an engineering course for elementary education majors, to let any student have a STEM minor, and, of course, to require all elementary education majors to complete the three course STEM certificate!
Watch St. Catherine University’s National Center for STEM Elementary Education on YouTube or below. St. Kate’s is treating education majors a whole new way. My College Guide is excited about the prospect!
Special thanks to JCMichener on Twitter for bring this fabulous video to our attention.

The My College Guide Guru has seen it all — and responded! Our ever-wise and all-knowing Guru tells us that, based on your recent emails, it’s the season for Financial Aid questions! This older video from Fastweb is not only relevant and informative (it will answer many of your FAFSA questions) – it’s also fun!
Find out about the FAFSA, the free application for federal student aid, like what it is, why you should fill it out, and how to get started. You can’t receive aid if you don’t even bother to try! Don’t worry – it’s easier than ever before. You would like free money for college, wouldn’t you? Watch The Five-Minute FAFSA on YouTube or below.
Thanks to Twitter follower MichaelCCR for bringing this hilarious yet information-packed video to our attention!

Love the thought of study abroad? So did the American student below who now attends the University of Glamorgan in South Wales! One of the big perks of college is that the majority of colleges do have study abroad programs in place so whether you want to study for a semester, a year, or, like Angela from the University of Glamorgan, permanently: you’ve got the option.
In fact, the University of Glamorgan has partnerships with colleges like the University of South Dakota and the University of South Florida – so studying overseas at a college like Glamorgan may be easier than you think! Studying abroad is a life-changing, eye-opening experience, and one that most colleges believe is an essential aspect to individual growth — and a unique (and awesome) part of the college experience.
We are inclined to agree. Stay tuned as My College Guide explores study abroad options, helpful hints, and tips over the coming months. Subscribe for free via RSS feed or email so you don’t miss a minute. In the meantime, watch Angela, English Literature degree student from the USA at the University of Glamorgan on YouTube or below.

Chances are you have been stressing about living in a college dorm. You may have decided to room with your BFF from high school or maybe you have been keeping your fingers crossed that you will end up in a single dorm room, anything than have to live with a complete stranger! My College Guide wants you to know that, just as college housing is probably not what you are expecting, there are also far fewer “dorm roommate nightmares” than you’d think.
Need more convincing? This video from Michigan State University features many dorm roommates – and they have plenty to say on the subject of college housing. College housing is not going to be as bad as you keep thinking it is – and hopefully watching this video will leave you feeling a bit more confident about the college housing process as a whole. Now, if only you can figure out what to take to college (or at least narrow down your massive college packing list), you’ll be doing fine! Watch How to Live with Your Roommate by Michigan State University on YouTube or below.

My College Guide loves it when colleges (and their presidents) show off their sense of humor (remember the A Day in the Life of a College President video?). Well, Florida International University has jumped in with a witty musical twist to welcome back new and returning students for the Fall of 2010 school year!
When colleges combine song and dance, well, we just don’t think you can go wrong! Not only do Florida International University students get involved, but so does the college president, Mark B. Rosenberg! As you might be able to tell from the video, college is all about community! When you finally get in and get settled at college, don’t be afraid to wear your school colors, put on your college shirt, and jump in, even if it means acting silly every once in awhile: it’s all a part of having a fun, memorable college experience!

Today’s video is for the theatre majors in the crowd. My College Guide is aware that the occasionally very stressful aspect of choosing where to go to college is matched only by deciding between what subject you want to actually commit to and major in! For those of you considering a major in theater, we thought you would appreciate this behind-the-scenes look at the Cal Poly Performing Arts Department with this fun new video.
My College Guide figured that you would enjoy seeing what a college theatre program really looks like: the rehearsal, set design, costume construction, and, well, you get the idea! Watch the Theatre Department at Cal Poly on YouTube or below.
