Just from what I have heard I can imagine that it would be very similar to Oxford. However I am actually not close to many people there!

Thanks so much! First year seems like such a long way ago for me now. I hope your QM paper goes well and I wish you luck for third year!

Thanks so much!!

Oh I hadn't heard of that!

Thanks!

♥️

Yes you should be able to get in free of charge! You will also be able to take a certain number of guests free of charge as well. Though I'm not sure exactly how many guests ..

Thank you 🤗

I am from the UK!

@@tis_i_sana nice girl :).I thought u were from abroad because of your clear accent

Oh thanks!

Yes!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it !

I will try to be more consistent with my uploads!

@@tis_i_sana don't worry, great content takes time, so no rush

Thanks so much :)

I wish I could just have aesthetic videos of me in the library but I have too much actual work to do :/

@@tis_i_sana its okay! Must be busy at Oxford!! Good luck with all your work 😊

Thanks!

No it's a public shop! I think mainly students go there though

I don't know what this means 😅

@@tis_i_sana'I'm anxious and depressed because of the workload, and I can't go to get help because I've so much work to do!' I suspect this happens a lot, but I'm not implying it's your situation! Best reg.s

Yes I understand your point now! It's common to think you need to power through to be the most productive instead of taking time off studying to get help/recharge. Then it turns into the vicious cycle as you said!

I'm from the UK!

@@tis_i_sana I thought you are Pakistani 🤭

@@tis_i_sana any recommendation for studying medicine there. I m high school graduate.

?

I grew up here in the UK ! I can't give specific advice about applying to Medicine as I haven't experienced that myself. However I know that in your application some things they consider are your A-Level subjects, any volunteering and an exam called the UCAT... If you search on Google 'applying to medical school uk' you can find guides by the British Medical Association and the NHS which will be more specific and more up to date! Hope this helped

Thanks!

Thanks for watching! You should also check out my 2nd video on this topic - 'what I like about oxford university' ! Let me know what you think in the comments

Thank you!

I know right! It was so scary though :/

I mostly ate in hall!

My college (Queen's) library is open 24/7!

How long is your residential in August? I feel as though it would be fine if you start when I started as I also had UCAS amongst other things but I felt that the time I had was enough. If you feel like it will be too much to handle then I guess it can't hurt to slowly start a bit earlier. But be careful not to burn out! You want to be at your peak when you actually do your exam.

@@tis_i_sana 4 days, 19-22nd, also maybe one 14th-17th july or 21st-24th of july if i get accepted for uniq

also yea with burnout i need to make sure I don't just grind out practice papers every day and just do what i feel like doing if im gonna do it in summer

@@tis_i_sana also i think the prep for the maths section will be alright since we finish all of a level maths in a couple weeks and move onto further, gives me a headstart i guess and probably after that the pressure will die down a bit. idk why my college does all of a level maths in half a year for further maths like its just so quick, we just skipped a load of AS stats and a load of AS pure because they were like "you did most of this at gcse"

Ah the residentials aren't too long then! My school had also finished all the A-level maths in time for the PAT but definitely not as early as you have!! Yea I think it's important to not burn out. You can see the schedule I followed in the video for studying as a reference - (mainly started in August). But definitely do what's best for your normal study habits! If you prefer to go slower and steadier and avoid the mental fuzziness/anguish I had then definitely start sooner!

Glad you enjoyed it!

I know some medics in the uni and they find that the tutorial system helps them to actually understand what they are learning. It's a chance to talk to someone who's an expert and can tell you the right things. However one thing to note is that there is a lot of variety on how good tutorials are, depending on the tutors at your college. The tutors at my college for physics are quite bad right now but the medicine ones are great. Also, they can be quite stressful as you do have to prepare an essay for each one, however many of the medics say they find that this helps them retain knowledge that might be relevant to their clinical practice in the future! The fact that you have an offer means that you are capable enough for the style of teaching here. Your life would probably be easier at a different university however, there's a reason why people would choose to study here. The course at oxford is definitely more detailed than at other universities. You spend a lot more time on the theory and science behind the medicine in the first few years than in clinics compared to other unis. There is also an extra year where you undertake medical research. Of course by the end, you'll also have the relevant clinical knowledge. I think the difference is that you have a higher potential of great learning here and if you can utilise that then it will definitely help you in the future. But ultimately I think it depends on the type of person you are and what you're striving for. I hope that helps? Well done on your offer!

Thank you so much!

Yes!! I love being able to walk everywhere! London has so much stuff to do but you have to get the tube which is so dirty :/

I'm so sorry to hear that but I fully understand your situation. What subject are you doing and what college are you at? You said you worked hard in term. I did the same. I didn't do much over the holidays so I think I won't do well in my collections now. However, I know I learnt the content well in term and so if I revise in the next few months I will be fine for my final exams. Think about your situation. Are you the same as me? Or actually did you think you worked really hard but didn't get much done? So you don't know the content that well? In this case you put a lot of hours in with little productivity. Simply put, not sleeping isn't productive. You need to change the way you work. I think now you need to reset and realign your priorities. Collections won't influence your final degree but your final exams will. * What do you need to do now to do well in your final exams? * Do you need to study differently? Study in a different place? Have study meet-ups with your friends? Can you look at the previous lecturers notes? Other learning resources? Can you ask your peers or someone in the year above for notes? Think about these questions and whether you can do better from now. I found asking my friends for help and people in the year above for notes helped me a lot. Remember the gruelling application process? They thought you would be someone who could do well here but sometimes you just need a bit more support to adjust. Talk to your tutors. I know you said suspending isn't an option so talk to them about what the right option is, how hard you are finding the course. You can also talk to your college welfare officer, the university careers service, the university counselling service for further help. These are all avenues the university has to help you to succeed. Talk to them about: How to study better? What resources are there if the lecturer is bad? Any textbook or old student notes? Talk to them about your personal situation and if they have extra support for that? Talk to them about your career goals. Ask them if your degree is necessary if you already have one? Is dropping out and going somewhere else a better option? Finally, I think after some deliberation you will find if oxford is the right option. Will it benefit you and your life goals or will it kill your ambition? This is your second degree, don't think about the 'Oxford' name, think about the bigger picture. I think you definitely still have time to succeed in your degree so don't just write yourself off as someone who will fail. Have a think about how you can do better from now and what you want to get from your studies here. I wish you all the best. If you have any more questions, I'd be happy to help!

There is still so much to see so we should go again!

It was really fun and relaxing :) I would recommend going!

Glad you enjoyed it!

You should definitely visit :D

I'm glad you liked the video!

Thank you!

It was from Jujutsu Kaisen! The first opening

I'm doing well! Thanks for asking :)

Thank you for sharing your perspective! I think it's normal to feel fustrated at times with our teaching as there always seems to be certain constraints... I'm glad you're watching from Bangladesh. If there are any topics or questions you'd like to see in future videos, let me know. Good luck at the University of Chittagong!

@@tis_i_sana I would like to get your perspective on involving with the extra-curricular activities, especially the student clubs, how much of it should anyone do it, what to avoid, how to balance it with the academic pressure. It would be great if you can share it in your video from a physics students' perspective.

I'll make a video about it!

@@tis_i_sana looking forward to...

I've been too busy to record it but it is in the works! 😅

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks :)

Why 😭

I study Physics :)

@@tis_i_sana Awesome - from a Historian at Worcester

How are you finding it?

@@tis_i_sana amazing

@@tis_i_sana and you?

Thanks for your opinion! Let me know what you think about my other videos too :)

Hi! I have uploaded a vlog for a week in the life of a oxford physics student on my channel! Go check it out!

Aw thank you so much!

Thanks!
