WIWIK: College

About WIWIK: College

After spending four years at Harvard, we - Alex, Edgar, and Uriel - reflected on our individual experiences before and after applying to college, and on the advice we picked up along the way. Advice is of no use unless you give it to someone else, so that’s why we started “What I Wish I Knew”, a podcast dedicated to helping you navigate college. There are many things we wished we knew before we applied to college, as well as when we started off as freshmen, and we want to share them with you. | Music: "Opportunity Walks" by Kevin MacLeod
