5 years of MIT in 20 minutes

Two degrees and 5 years later, this one's to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and everyone I've met along the way. Here's my life as an MIT student... My entire college experience. IHTFP.

It's not quite "A day in the life of an MIT student" or an MIT vlog but I hope all of you looking for that will find this helpful :)

Thanks everyone for the support. If you liked this video, it would mean the world to me if you shared it with someone too. Someday in the future these will be the good old days :')

I've followed your coding tutorial content for years. I had no idea you were still a student, which speaks volumes to how talented you are. Here's to bigger and better things for you.

Wonderful summary of life at MIT. I graduated in 1976 and it was the most incredible learning and growing experience. You are surrounded by the most creative, smart, and innovative people at all times.

I've always dreamed of going to study at MIT. This video just made me want it even more! It looks so stunning. I've already graduated from two universities, so MIT probably wouldn't be the same experience as it would have been when I was younger... but one can dream I guess :) So glad you got to have such amazing experiences!

Congrats on 2 degrees from MIT, that’s an amazing accomplishment! And good luck in your next chapter! 🎉

I literally cried all 21 minutes. Your video with real insights made me to definitely try to join this “no words” community.

[davidx]

Happy you made it! Glad you shared the journey with everyone. Thanks!

What an educational journey !!!
This inspired me. Graduating with a major in EECS and Physics while acing in figure skating is out of a world feat. I can’t even imagine the work that must have gone into it. Although I’m removed from graduation by a decade, this video showed me how rich the experience at MIT is
PS: I have an MBA and work at McKinsey & Co; however, I have always wanted to research AI and ML. Now, I don’t have the strength to go through the grind.

I kept crushing, smiling, laughing throughout the video. Its my dream to study undergrad in one of the top schools in the world like MIT. And watching you achieving it felt like it was me who was watching my future. Truly astounding. 😊

[moremirinplease]

thing i like about you is while you were at it you made some really really good memories, met new people, broadened your horizons, all that while being smart QUEEN!

[btsforever]

Going to be a freshie at MIT this fall! Kinda cried a bit Ngl. This was really inspiring; thank you so much for sharing your experiences here!

[jamirajamira]

Watching this has made me wonder what I did back in my university days... absolutely nothing in comparison.

Well done on the 5 years of MIT and living life to the full. Someday you may look back thinking "what if", but you don't need to worry about that because you've done absolutely everything that you could do during this time.

[samuelagyapong]

I've always aspired to go to MIT and I'm learning super hard to meet the requirements! And to here you speak about MIT this way is truly motivational. Your life's story has also inspired me. I couldn't thank you enough 😁👍

[faithfulinspiration]

I really admire your character. You've offer much hope to those who didn't know where to start. Please don't stop making your videos.

[frankfeng]

Great life story! Thanks for sharing. Hope you are having fun at work!

[OtRatsaphong]

Great video of your time at MIT! Wow! I have to catch my breath. All I can say is Congratulations on all your achievements so far. You really jumped in and took the bull by the horns. Very inspirational! Just discovered your channel through your neural network text classification tutorial. Will be following your progress.

[bSherwin]

This was such a great video to watch! I hope your next chapter will be as rewarding and exciting as your time in MIT!

ive long come to terms with never making the final freshmen admission to MIT in 2017, i was waitlisted, but in the end never made it. ended up staying at an in state university to complete both a CS and Mech Eng degree though! at the end of the day, it was more a matter of what i do rather than where i went. despite the people you meet being a huge difference too, its lovely to see someone else experience something i long since buried. i wouldnt trade what i had, as the friends ive made and the things ive learned from what ended up happening shaped who i became to be, and regardless, im proud of myself for even being waitlisted!

i love your videos you provided to freecodecamp! even though ive graduated i am constantly consuming new things to learn, i was so happy to see another one of your videos uploaded today for FCC, and forgot that i should sub to your personal channel as well. thank you!

and heck. theres always grad school! but im taking a break from academics to focus on the community ive come to foster, teaching my friends STEM who never had the same access to opportunities as us is just as important! good luck out there on your next pursuits kylie! from one stranger to another.

2026 prefrosh here :) I love this video so much it's beautifully made, and it makes me even more excited to go to MIT. Congratulations on graduation and thanks for telling us about your journey of the last 5 years!

[LaurenLeonesio]

One of the most impressive and inspiring people I know!! Can't wait to see what you do next <3
