โรงเรียนหญิงล้วนแห่งแรกของสหรัฐอเมริกา

Everything after 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 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 (presonal 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) 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. 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 has been very helpful for me, especially the advisor 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 except Wednesday, 8:45am-2:05pm. You normally have 2-3 days a week start after 8am.

Lots of AP courses to choose, usually small class size <18 girls, normal workload = 30 mins/class "Homeworks are to be finished during study hall(2 hrs)" motto. The school offers a number of courses. (Science courses are real interesting -- there are Neuroscience, Astrobiology, and Forensic being offered!!!) 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 heard.

Activities

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