From annoying bunkmates and NS relationships to chaotic encounters and horror stories, the hosts react to the good, the bad, and the downright unbelievable. In this episode, we also unpack the realities of NS — the challenges, camaraderie, and lessons that come with these two years — while hearing advice from past NSFs on how to make the most out of the experience.
