Community College vs. Prestigious CollegeIn this episode, we get real about college, comparison, and chasing success with Yeabsera, a computer science student at Vanderbilt, and Abdullah, an IT student at Northern Virginia Community College. We break down the hype around "prestigious" schools, what it’s like navigating college as kids of immigrants, and why your path doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.Yeabsera opens up about the pressure of being at a top school and what people don’t see behind the scenes, while Abdullah shares the mindset shifts he’s had at community college and how he's building his future step by step. We talk about confidence, purpose, and why chasing a name doesn’t always mean you’re chasing what matters.SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/@thebriefdivepodcast/videos?sub_confirmation=1LISTEN ON:SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2cPd9uVZqjmEmM9VF0zuGg?si=ef2246bd89c34b4APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-brief-dive/id1551664039ADD ME ON:INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thebriefdive?igsh=cm5iaWEyazRvMnpySNAPCHAT: https://snapchat.com/t/zzap27fGTIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebriefdive?_t=8qIJLtOvM0l&_r=1DISCLAIMER: "The Brief Dive" Podcast represents the opinions of Filimon and his guests who are also not licensed professionals.
