โรงเรียนหญิงล้วนแห่งแรกของสหรัฐอเมริกา

'''Everything below this is written by Nita TS59 who doesn't have Thai keyboard na ka.'''

Emma Willard is an all-girl school located in Troy, NY, near [http://www.rpi.edu/ RPI]. The town is kinda small and historical, downtown is very beautiful ka. (It takes 15-20 mins to walk from the school to downtown Troy, and about 30 mins drive to Albany.)

== Pros ==

1. The campus is '''very beautiful''' kaa.

2. Most of the teachers knew Thai Scholar and are very helpful in both understanding what we are going through and college processes.

3. Girl school environment, which is so much more casual and relaxing than co-ed (personal opinion), no dress code, OK leggings/ shorties/ no-bra to classes etc..

4. Only 10 weeks of movement requirement!! No sport while working on common app!! (if you don't want to, of cause)

5. Revels. Seniors' play that we participate. Awesome.

6. SAT testing center and free transportation to TOEFL (45 mins away in Albany)

7. There are usually some Thai students other than you. (5 this year including me) [https://www.dek-d.com/studyabroad/42721/ We even have an ad in Dek-D]

== Cons ==

1. No boy.

2. No meeting with other TS regularly, as we are quite far away from people. But there are chances.

3. No whatever fee waiver unless you ask for it (which I didn't, so I ended up paying for all the test and application fees)

4. The textbooks are expensive and you need to buy them. OEA's book expense does not cover all of them.

5. The campus is so beautiful I can't stop taking picture of every single thing.

== Facts ==

1. Study hall is not strictly enforced for us PG, there are some homework helpers (teachers, peers) during that time but you can basically do whatever you want.

2. There is a weekly resident hall activity where we gather around as a hall for snacks and games, it is pretty fun.

3. If you want a single room, ask for it. There are far more single rooms than double/triple in the main dorm so you will have it. (I have a single and it is greeaat!)

4. The adults here have been very helpful for me, especially the adviser whom you'll meet with once a week, house parent, and college counselor. Mr. Jones, the counselor, has been working with a lot of TS so he knows the program quite well.

5. There is a Thai restaurant that does delivery called Sadudee. The delicious one is about 45 mins away called Sri-siam.

== Academic ==

School hours are from 8am-3.20pm, Wednesday from 8:45am-2:05pm. You normally have 2-3 days a week that start after 8am.

Lots of AP courses to choose, usually small class size <18 girls, the normal workload is 30 mins per class under "Homework is to be finished during study hall" motto. The school offers a number of courses. (Science courses are real interesting -- there are Neuroscience, Astrobiology, and Forensic offered!!!) [https://www.emmawillard.org/sites/emmawillard.org/files/2017-2018CourseOfferings.pdf Here is next year's catalog]

These are some comments on the courses I am taking this year:

- AP Biology: kinda challenging material, homework due on test days so no daily homework

- AP Chemistry: FRIDAY NIGHT LAB which is FUN! 30-45 mins homework almost every class day

- AP Calculus AB: Precalc-basic calculus, I'm not so good at Math but I understand the materials.

- Requirements: US History and English (I take English 3, juniors') Fun!

Language and Art classes are great, too, or so I have heard.

== Activities ==

Lots of clubs to join, lots of sports to play, there is Physical Education for those who, like me, does not enjoy competitive sports. There is a lot of options for choir and group music, browse the school website for more details: https://www.emmawillard.org/
