As somebody who was been watching you for around a year now, I am SO proud of how far you have come! ^_^ keep up the good work Jade! Although the workload currently might seem hectic we are all cheering you on! You will do and are doing amazing things 💖💖
What are your thoughts on using companies such as Amazon and Apple as part of your studies but also being at the climate strike/being someone who pushes for sustainability? Both of those companies thrive on consumerism and capitalism which may be a big part of the reason for climate breakdown. No shade at all, i think it is amazing that you went to protest and obvs you do great things. It would just be interesting to hear your thoughts on the prevention of climate breakdown and capitalism.
@Alex Schofield Thanks for mentioning, I actually wasn't aware of that. But unfortunately, consumerism contributes to climate issues massively, even if not directly. The need to have the latest and greatest creates an abundance of waste which requires energy to recycle/get rid of. We all know apple products have a life span of about 2 years, and make products just so we need to need to buy even more products. Corporate greed will forever be a reason the planet and people are in such a mess. Having said that, Minerva says they are 'nurturing critical wisdom for the sake of the world' so hopefully, that wisdom is used by the class of 2019 to go on to develop products that last and create companies that actually make a difference. Hopefully, they don't fall into the hands of Apple, Amazon or similar corporations.
looool actually what do you mean capitalism and consumerism is not a major issue with climate change. CAPITALISM AND CONSUMERISM ARE THE ISSUE WITH CLIMATE CHANGE.
Watching Jade just makes you want to get out there, explore, learn and make the MOST of each and every single day! Wish I was half as productive HAHAHAHA 😝
awhh YES, whatever that looks like in your daily life, there's a whole to be grateful for. 😌 I know these videos come off on the extreme end of what we perceive as 'productive', but honestly even getting enough sleep, looking after yourself, socialising etc IS productive too!! x
It looks like you are having the best time Jade (even if it is super super busy and you barely have a second to spare!!). Enjoy every second! I can't wait to see the rest of the vlogs :) xxx
All of this reminds me so much of the book "The Circle". It seems like a cult almost, I really don't know what it is, but something about this weird new university seems SO off.
Sarah Kale isn’t university meant to be like the reals world where you meant people you don’t like and then ones you do? It just seems like this weird group of privileged vegans.
@@a.mcorner9177 oh no, university in the UK is FULL of privileged vegans lol But at least they have genuine bona fide degrees recognised by employers when they're finished. This is all so new and vague and unstructured, god knows what qualifications come out of this. There's only been one graduated class technically.
Haha, I always have to think about the book series "NIGHT SCHOOL" which is about a boarding school for privileged kids. It has an extra night school for the best of them, basically training them to be world leaders someday.
I am just so, so, so scared for Jade right now. Everything about this institution is setting off MEGA alarm bells. Firstly why on earth is a girl with straight A*s even entertaining a foundation course? and the names of these "subjects" sound like Scientology tiers. She said it herself, 'it sounds super vague and super weird." - it's almost like a cult! This institution is so young there's only ONE graduated class, apparently they're all doing silicon valley related jobs, that's hugely suspicious. I'm just so on edge, I genuinely want whats best for Jade and it seems like all the other (incredibly informed) commenters expressing concern do too.
@@petitmeowmeow not to defend the course or anything, but the foundation year thing is common in all US degrees, where they take a basics course in the first year and only choose their major at the end of the first year. They then spend the next 3 years doing classes related to their course of choice. Still think its mad shady though.
@@Msbouncy456 yes foundation courses are there at the US because the school system is a 12 year one, Jade's is 13 hence the UK does not have any. Another issue with the school is even if you transfer you still have to do those courses, people have moved there from ivy leagues and needed to do all four years. red flag
@@Msbouncy456 I didn't know that! So all US courses are minimum of 4 years long? In the UK a foundation year is typically only taken if there's any gaps in your qualifications
Livvy yup U.S university is always 4 years long. However you can take more classes and graduate earlier. And in most schools, freshman are required to take mandatory foundation classes like a inquiry or analysis of sorts.
Just wanted to say that this summer I went backpacking for the first time ever by myself and I'm 20 and had been to 2 countries before that so it was literally life changing and you're the one who pushed me to do it so thank you Jade 💛 Anyone who is thinking of going just do it! And don't worry if you want to cancel the whole thing the day before because of anxiety (like me- almost cancelled the whole thing), as soon as you're on that first bus or train or plane you will be absolutely fine!
A university has to get its reputation from somewhere but I personally wouldn’t go for this even if I had money I’d rather go to a recognised university that will give you a degree. This all seems a bit sketch
Jade, I am getting so overwhelmed just watching this vlog! Please remember to take good care of yourself, mentally and physically. Your health comes first☺️
Kadi nope, just a scam basically taking all your money for you to have a “degree” at the end that is not accepted my most companies and real universities.
I'm in class right now but i PROMISE i'll come back later to watch this (': It's been fun coming along on your experience in Uni via social media!! looks like you've been enjoying it and i'm so happy for you!
I gotta say that the workload feels pretty standard to me though, my first years in uni I had stuff from 8 through 5 with an hour lunch, plus reports etc. And I was - as you - one of the lucky ones that did not have go take an additional job.
ambroseblakeevents it’s her foundation year so obviously there’s not going to be as much anyway but she does do work, as she said, three hour lessons a day with two hours of pre class work for each class
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU AND SO HAPPY FOR YOU literally crying along with you in the intro! glad you're having fun and really hope you keep enjoying it :') keep on living your best life gal x
The work load seems pretty standard to uni... At uni I had assignments every Friday and about 60 pages of reading for each class and pre work... Just takes time to settle into routine
I hope you're enjoying your time Jade. But I'm also worried about you. I hope you're getting enough sleep and rest. I hope the work load doesn't stress you out. Please take care of your mental and physical health too. Lots of love ❤️❤️❤️
I'VE MISSED JADE SO MUCH. Also, can confirm that uni is intense and crazy in busy, but remember: you're not meant (and you physically CANNOT) do everything or take all the opportunities that there are. Commit to a few and you'll experience more of a reward. ❤️
Moving to another country is always difficult. I've experienced this as well (going abroad for further studies is never fun!) But the opportunities that come your way, and the situations that you face, are things that will build you up for the better. All the best Jade! 😍😍
Your videos have been such an inspiration as I’m about to start school. It’s so amazing to watch you grow as a person. As an incoming freshman to uni honestly it makes me so excited to see where I’ll be in four years
I love this video!! I have just started university and it makes me so happy that I can follow your journey at the same time. You always inspire me to be more mindful and focussed in my studies! Can't wait for more videos, I hope you're having a fab time in San Fransisco!! xx
I think it sounds pretty good. Traditional degrees focus so much on exams and assignments, learning minute details that we will soon forget. Seems quite pointless.
@@Sam-oo1uo from the looks of it, minerva students spend most of their time studying and doing homework. In "traditional" universities, you have more free time and don't have a lot of set assignments - it's up to you how much time you put in, no more hand-holding. Also, most university degrees aren't only theoretical anymore and there's loads of travel options. It just all seems like a weird scam tbh.
Same. I’m such a home body and burn out of energy quickly even just by spending a whole day around people I then need a whole day of break away from them
@@KateCameron1 i wouldn't be able to share a room with someone ... i need to be alone, and if i couldn't even be alone in my room i would probably end up sitting in the wardrobe
@@KateCameron1 This is me. If I spend a few hours around people then I need some alone time to recover. I wish I was more social but I just cannot force myself to be, no matter how much I try.
@@KateCameron1 same, also I'd be a horrible roommate given I'm super tidy, organised, quiet, need my space, and cannot stand sharing a living area with anybody that's the opposite of that lol
I loved the editing at the beginning wow! Loved the energy and vibes...reminded me so much of the Australia vlogs! Remember to take time for yourself! xxx
Hello! I've missed this beautiful online space too 😌 I'm good! I'm finally feeling settled. I have a (kinda) routine and the class content has been so interesting, even if it's a lot! I went to The Golden Gate Bridge recently and saw the city light up over the water. So so beautiful and glowy! How are you? How is life? x
Oh wow, the nostalgia vibes in this. This was the last happening year in SF. The drummer guy you showed past away. RIP Bucket Man Larry. Only 2 restaurants left in the Galleria, and the AWS loft closed permanently. But, as a lazy beach town, with hippy stores, I’ve been enjoying SF. Thank you, algorithm.
I would definitely go to Minerva if it was more prestigious! It looks amazing, I just have to think of my future tho... I want a law degree and doing it in Bristol would look better on my CV than doing it an a uni no one has heard of. I wish you all the best, Jade.
Minerva is prestigious, people that now go to Oxford got rejected from there, you have to be really really smart to go, the entrance aptitude tests require you to have an IQ of near genius, so no offence but its not likely you would get in as the acceptance rate is lower than Harvard.
@@maneskinnnnn7190 The acceptance rate is only low because of Minerva cheating potential students by including incomplete admissions as admissions. This shows Minerva has reckless staff members. People that go to Oxford get rejected from there, but that doesn't mean it's a prestigious university. It means it has a bad selection process, as Oxford is one of the best universities in the world and for Minerva to not take note of that despite Minervas awful reputation, it just shows Minervas not even run as a good business, let alone a good educational institute. You don't need to have an IQ of a near genius to get into Minerva. If so, there would be many geniuses in Minerva. We know there aren't because there are no reports of Minerva graduates becoming Elon Musk type figures. There are no recognisable names that come out of Minerva. Yes, only one cohort has graduated, but if they were geniuses they would have, oh, I don't know, done something reputable that contributes to the world? You are either a troll or one of the people Minerva pays to write fake/good reviews about. It's obvious Minerva recruits people to bully those who see the university as it is: utter shite, apart from its travelling.
Minerva may not be prestigious (yet at least) but I disagree with your comment. Employers are looking for people that are different, they often don’t want 5 different people that have all taken their GCSEs, done A-Levels then gone to Bristol Uni. They now want you to have something unique or have done other things that aren’t “usual”. Just following the basic education system isn’t enough for most higher paid jobs these days. 🤷🏽♀️
@@Charlotte-iq8hk You're not being realistic. Employers want something different but they believe education is extremely significant. You can't be 'different' with education. You either have it, or you don't. At some places you can get a better education. That's why those universities have higher graduate employment rates than unis that aren't so prestigious, like Minerva. I don't know what company you're referring to that would prefer someone who travelled to lots of countries and got an online education than someone who did it at a traditional university. Traditional universities work, they are reliable and produce the best candidates. Smaller companies might be willing to hire Minerva graduates, but bigger companies will want hard working people, like the people who worked hard to get a place in a good university. I'm not saying people at Minerva aren't hard working, they just don't give the right impression.
Honestly, as a current college senior I totally feel that freshman struggle. The transition is really difficult but it gets better. You learn to skim, just read the important bits of chapters, etc. it’s the only way to survive college!! All the best love to u!
Jade genuinely inspires me.so much, we're exactly the same age and even though I started uni last year, my course is a weird one too because it's five years, three years in London and two in Beijing! So we will finish at the same time! Jade you're kinda like my companion through this crazy journey! KEEP WORKING I BELIEVE IN YOU lol
Yay!!! Omg hang in there. I remember my first year at Minerva, wondering how to deal with my hectic life! It doesn't get that much less hectic but you will find that you find your own ways to adjust and make it through. And so proud of all you at the climate strikes :')
I’ve been keeping up with your insta stories and it looks like such a fun experience!!! also your motivation and work ethic is inspiring 💖 excited for your future videos!! I’m also a uni student and the work load is eugh but watching you get through it is motivating 🌞💫
Jade(an extremely intelligent human being): *doesn’t get in to Oxford, which is extremely difficult Jade: “Ite, ima have to get someone to teach me how to think”
Amazing job Jade! I enjoyed the video very much! :D I am also doing my foundation year and it has really been hectic for me as well. I admire your work ethic and the fact that you're still doing youtube is crazy. Cheers to you!!
Jade!! I've just started a new sixth form and life is HECTIC and STRESSFUL but you made me feel so wonderful about it all thank you and I hope you have the best time ever :)
I'm so happy n proud of u jade actually I'm watching ur videos abt 2 years I think n u re an inspiration 💙 whenever I'm feeling down , happy , needing some productivity or whatever I jump into ur channel and watch u .. You have something special n we love u girl keep it up n enjoy ur new experience 💃💪
Yaaay.....The Jade is back...missed you & also your fellow Jaders. How is your brother doing? No You Tube from him. Anyway...I am so happy you settled into your Minerva family.You look so happy 2😁😁😁👌🏾👍🏾 I'm sure you will smash those assignments👩🏼💻📚📏📐🖋✏ & keep up with all the coursework.... Remember your study with me videos & your early 6am start. You are an ambassador 4 us all Jade. Keep on doing what your doing & look after you. 🛏 Awaiting your next vlog. 🎬 Best wishes J..Judi xxx💐
When you said dollar it felt so weird, but you seem like you’re having a lot of fun! Can you show us a little more about how it was like meeting new people and being so away from your family, and also what America is like for those of us who have never been
Ayyyyy our favorite gal uploaded again!!! 💛 Love to see how happy you are, even though it is tough. I'm in my first year of uni now and I'm honestly loving it sooo much wow!
i love how your room at minerva has bunk beds and is so like the rooms you stayed in when you were travelling ..! I always wanted to go to America. My brother moved to san francisco 10 years ago when he left school and none of my family or me have seen him since, he still lives in san francisco, he used to live near Robin williams and used to meet him in his local shop all the time.
I missed your videos so much, just seeing your face makes me smile and feel more positive haha I hope your having a great time even though it seems like it's a lot of work!
I’m 100% doing this no matter what. Your truly inspirational thank you so much for your channel. It’s made me realise a normal public school British girl like me can really travel and study and achieve what I put my mind to
So happy to see this vlog! I know you've been super busy (I follow you on Instagram as well) so seeing this vlog in my subscription box made me so happy. But don't forget to prioritizes yourself, uni is a lot but also absolutely amazing. You got this Jade
Loved the vid! I’m really happy for you Jade, it seems like you’re enjoying your time in San Fran despite all the work. The city and the people seem very nice and quite up your street!! Have funn ❤️
Hi Jade! It's fascinating learning about your university- I am actually studying higher education policy + how universities and colleges are run for my PhD (think administration, how students are supported) so I'm very excited to follow your journey. Your video also made me feel better about the amount of work I have to do right now. All the best for the upcoming week!
Live very near SF and with all due respect, I've never heard of Minerva. I feel like Jade could've easily gotten into school's in the area like UC Berkeley, UCSF, and SFSU with her amazing grades. Hope everything goes well.
I can really relate with the feeling that you can’t stop crying. I also started uni this year and I remember my mum coming down all the way to London even though I live about 2 hours away on a train away, and all day all I did was cry. I couldn’t stop and it was like that for days, but luckily after a while it went away ☺️💜
Omg I was coming back to rewatch your motivation video Because I was feeling like I was slacking.. And I see that you uploaded 4 minutes ago♥️♥️ had to watch

The best tip I got when I started uni was “the rule of thirds”:
8 hours of sleep, 8 hours of study and 8 hours of life. Stay as balanced as possible!
a day ?
@@tomiwa1910 yeah, Ibz Mo made a video about it too
Lol 8 hours of sleep
Thank you for this! Omg
8 hours a day of work is certainly a significant amount more then you need when starting uni

@@oysterhunter276 oh you're back. Have you got nothing better to do that hate on jade?? jealousy gets you no where.
@@maneskinnnnn7190 The acceptance rate is only low because of Minerva cheating potential students by including incomplete admissions as admissions. This shows Minerva has reckless staff members.
People that go to Oxford get rejected from there, but that doesn't mean it's a prestigious university. It means it has a bad selection process, as Oxford is one of the best universities in the world and for Minerva to not take note of that despite Minervas awful reputation, it just shows Minervas not even run as a good business, let alone a good educational institute.
You don't need to have an IQ of a near genius to get into Minerva. If so, there would be many geniuses in Minerva. We know there aren't because there are no reports of Minerva graduates becoming Elon Musk type figures. There are no recognisable names that come out of Minerva. Yes, only one cohort has graduated, but if they were geniuses they would have, oh, I don't know, done something reputable that contributes to the world?
You are either a troll or one of the people Minerva pays to write fake/good reviews about. It's obvious Minerva recruits people to bully those who see the university as it is: utter shite, apart from its travelling.
Minerva may not be prestigious (yet at least) but I disagree with your comment. Employers are looking for people that are different, they often don’t want 5 different people that have all taken their GCSEs, done A-Levels then gone to Bristol Uni. They now want you to have something unique or have done other things that aren’t “usual”. Just following the basic education system isn’t enough for most higher paid jobs these days. 🤷🏽♀️
@@Charlotte-iq8hk You're not being realistic. Employers want something different but they believe education is extremely significant. You can't be 'different' with education. You either have it, or you don't. At some places you can get a better education. That's why those universities have higher graduate employment rates than unis that aren't so prestigious, like Minerva. I don't know what company you're referring to that would prefer someone who travelled to lots of countries and got an online education than someone who did it at a traditional university. Traditional universities work, they are reliable and produce the best candidates. Smaller companies might be willing to hire Minerva graduates, but bigger companies will want hard working people, like the people who worked hard to get a place in a good university. I'm not saying people at Minerva aren't hard working, they just don't give the right impression.
Honestly, as a current college senior I totally feel that freshman struggle. The transition is really difficult but it gets better. You learn to skim, just read the important bits of chapters, etc. it’s the only way to survive college!! All the best love to u!
Jade genuinely inspires me.so much, we're exactly the same age and even though I started uni last year, my course is a weird one too because it's five years, three years in London and two in Beijing! So we will finish at the same time! Jade you're kinda like my companion through this crazy journey! KEEP WORKING I BELIEVE IN YOU lol
thank you jade for your positive energy! i always leave your videos feeling inspired and determined. 💜
so proud of you jade!! such an inspirational girl x
Yay!!! Omg hang in there. I remember my first year at Minerva, wondering how to deal with my hectic life! It doesn't get that much less hectic but you will find that you find your own ways to adjust and make it through. And so proud of all you at the climate strikes :')
Sadie DeCoste why support going to climate strikes?
Ahhh this is soooo exciting! Hope you have a wonderful time 😍😍
I’ve been keeping up with your insta stories and it looks like such a fun experience!!! also your motivation and work ethic is inspiring 💖 excited for your future videos!! I’m also a uni student and the work load is eugh but watching you get through it is motivating 🌞💫
im so glad you’re out there living your best life! u deserve this jade xx
We love you Jade!! Keep being the amazing wonderful human being that you are ❤️🌻
By simply watching what you did, you make us feel proud, I'm sure you're going to rock this uni yr!
Jade(an extremely intelligent human being): *doesn’t get in to Oxford, which is extremely difficult
Jade: “Ite, ima have to get someone to teach me how to think”
@F D you've got this completely spot on.
Wdym?
I look up Minerva online and the acceptance rate is lower then Oxford but I would refer Oxford 😂😂
@@megannicdhonnchadha4845 Minerva's acceptance rate count people who didn't finish their applicatio though so it's barely as low as it says.
i dont get this
this seems so exciting! so happy for you
Amazing job Jade! I enjoyed the video very much! :D I am also doing my foundation year and it has really been hectic for me as well. I admire your work ethic and the fact that you're still doing youtube is crazy. Cheers to you!!
Thank you so much for this...considering how busy you are it's nice of you doing this.we missed you but it's worth it
Jade!! I've just started a new sixth form and life is HECTIC and STRESSFUL but you made me feel so wonderful about it all thank you and I hope you have the best time ever :)

Was waiting for your uni vlogs for very long...finally. Love u jade!!!
When you said dollar it felt so weird, but you seem like you’re having a lot of fun! Can you show us a little more about how it was like meeting new people and being so away from your family, and also what America is like for those of us who have never been
so glad everything worked out for her after not getting into oxford, its not rejection its redirection x
Yesss jaddddeee FINALLY. Well done!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you have an amazing next week😊
Ayyyyy our favorite gal uploaded again!!! 💛 Love to see how happy you are, even though it is tough. I'm in my first year of uni now and I'm honestly loving it sooo much wow!
i remember when i first watched your oxford rejection video! seeing how far you’ve come makes me smile, proud of you jade :)
I love this! I love how jade is so grateful for her experience
i love how your room at minerva has bunk beds and is so like the rooms you stayed in when you were travelling ..! I always wanted to go to America. My brother moved to san francisco 10 years ago when he left school and none of my family or me have seen him since, he still lives in san francisco, he used to live near Robin williams and used to meet him in his local shop all the time.
I missed your videos so much, just seeing your face makes me smile and feel more positive haha I hope your having a great time even though it seems like it's a lot of work!
I love you jade!! You are a walking inspiration💕 All the best for uni life!!🌹
JADE I AM SO EXCITED FOR ALL YOUR MINERVA VLOGS AHHHHH
I’m 100% doing this no matter what. Your truly inspirational thank you so much for your channel. It’s made me realise a normal public school British girl like me can really travel and study and achieve what I put my mind to
Yayyyyy so happy you made a video 😊💘 super proud you made such a big step in your life ✨
It looks like you're really enjoying your time and meeting some amazing new people! Can't wait to continue watching you on your journey xx
I was just thinking of you! Glad to see this upload this morning and that you're settling into uni and the US 🥰
girl this uni sounds like a scam
It ended up fine I think
@@reigen4030yh she’s graduated now
I’m sure you’ll love it, jade 💘 wishing you all the best 💘💘💘💘
Not to be shady but it seems kinda hypocritical to vlog the climate strike while showing Amazon in such a positive manner
The vlog was really cool apart from that :)
Thought the same :/
I think she's taking everything in. It's a little unfair to criticise her exploration of her surroundings and I dont think she did it on purpose.
@@zoemupfumira2177 Lol
And buying a fake plant...
WOW! You're doing great, Jade! Good luck to your journey! Can't wait to see more vids
So happy to see this vlog! I know you've been super busy (I follow you on Instagram as well) so seeing this vlog in my subscription box made me so happy. But don't forget to prioritizes yourself, uni is a lot but also absolutely amazing. You got this Jade
Yes so excited for another uni vid xxx this is so great x
I'm soooo happy for you Jade! You deserve all of this and more!
Minerva looks incredible
I’ve been following your adventures on Instagram and it just seems like such a valuable experience
Loved the vid! I’m really happy for you Jade, it seems like you’re enjoying your time in San Fran despite all the work. The city and the people seem very nice and quite up your street!! Have funn ❤️
I’m a Middle Schooler - I love your vlogs and use them to inspire me to work harder at school and on my TH-cam channels.
Good Luck Jade!⭐💕You'll do fab! The amount of effort you put into videos is amazing gal!😝
Wow Jade, you are such an inspiration to everyone you come across ❤️
I am a huge fan of yours and am from Brazil, I am so happy you got to meet someone from my country! Brazilians are the best kind of people
Hi Jade! It's fascinating learning about your university- I am actually studying higher education policy + how universities and colleges are run for my PhD (think administration, how students are supported) so I'm very excited to follow your journey. Your video also made me feel better about the amount of work I have to do right now. All the best for the upcoming week!
Live very near SF and with all due respect, I've never heard of Minerva. I feel like Jade could've easily gotten into school's in the area like UC Berkeley, UCSF, and SFSU with her amazing grades. Hope everything goes well.
Aww u’ve done so well, good to see you’ve settled in well
I can really relate with the feeling that you can’t stop crying. I also started uni this year and I remember my mum coming down all the way to London even though I live about 2 hours away on a train away, and all day all I did was cry. I couldn’t stop and it was like that for days, but luckily after a while it went away ☺️💜
Why is everyone hating? I am so proud of jade well done for doing what you love
Just because her uni is not like ur uni does not mean it’s a scam. Alternative schooling is a thing and it’s her money.
I’m so freakin happy for you! You deserve this❤️💚
Omg I was coming back to rewatch your motivation video
Because I was feeling like I was slacking..
And I see that you uploaded 4 minutes ago♥️♥️ had to watch
the drum sounds in the background really add to the chaotic energy when your explaining what's going on lol
HAHAHA
this video was amazing!! wishing u all the best jade!! 💗😭
