Is College Worth It? | A Real Talk with High School Seniors | UPOD: You Matter Podcast

Welcome to UPOD – the UmattR Podcast!

 

In this episode, we're getting real about college — the cost, the pressure, the big decisions, and whether it’s even worth it. Join our hosts Eli, Taylor, Meredith, and Rea, high school students from New Mexico, as they open up about their current top college choices, fears, and dreams for the future.

 

We dive into:

  • Is college worth the price tag?

  • Trade school, military, or straight into college?

  • How high school really prepares you (or doesn’t)

  • Family pressure and financial expectations

  • College rankings, sports culture, and dorm life

  • Study abroad dreams

  • Dealing with homesickness & finding independence

 

Whether you're a high school senior, a parent, or just reminiscing on your own college journey, this episode offers raw, honest, and funny perspectives from Gen Z on the verge of a big life leap.
