I remember watching this girl open her GCSE results. Time really flies
The drinking society thing makes so much sense! I'm at Cambridge and talking to a girl at Newcastle and I mentioned both captains of our rowing team didn't drink and she said 'how did they become captains if they don't drink?' Like because we pick our captains because they're the best, not because they can drink the most. Apparently this isn't the way it's done in some other places😂
Hahahahha so true
My best friend just started studying at Oxford, she moved a week ago. I already miss her, this video came at a perfect time :)
Cute!!!
I’m 26, never went to Uni but I enjoyed hearing you all chat about it 🙌
Thank you!!! X
I went at 28 and had the-knowledge-behind me so to speak.
Even so i loved it what with the better, easier access to books (13 maximum then, apparently (also pre Covid)
39 now!) etcetera, and my previous immersion in my own choice study course.. History of Ideas with honours.
Them 2 dislikes are obviously from Cambridge
Lmaooooo
Omg she repliedddd
I agree probably those who hate oxford go to cambridge
@@RevisionWithEve how many A levels do you need to get into oxford university
37 for Cambridge......
1.9k for oxford.....
I love the interaction and involvement of others! loved this discussion, rlly interesting.
I am so glad you liked it!
I actually can’t wait for uni videos like this gets me so excited!
I hope you enjoy! X
This video is so cool, I LOVE the format!! It's so SO important to address the stereotypes of Oxford that could put people off applying - this is such a helpful and informative video!!
Thank you so much!
Yep this video is cool
I'm literally applying to Oxford in a few days!!! This is making me so EXCITED!!!
Good luck!!!
Good luck 💫🍀💫
Me too! What are you applying for?
Me too, i'm sooo excited!
Me too!! What are you applying for?
omg i didn’t realise i was this early i thought this was an older video 😭😭 but hii eve!! if you even see this, you’re literally helping me through my gcses and i just wanted to say thank youuu x
Hahahahha nope brand new! Thank you xxx
my friends and i were just talking about this and i told them about u!! perfect timing
Enjoy! X
Um I am really worried I am in y8 I’m worried that me and my best friend don’t get into Oxford we do everything together and I really want to be able to study wiv her :(
@@J.526 If your in year 8, you don’t need to worry about uni. You have got a long time until then. You have got like 5/6 years before you go, so you have a long time to sort things out. Besides when you get into year 9, your main focus to do with studies should be GCSE’s. And then after GCSE’s, you mainly focus on A-Levels but you take the subjects at A-Levels that you need for the course you want to do at Uni. But for now just chill. People start being serious about things from year 9 - year 11 for GCSE’s and obviously year 12 - year 13 for A-Levels 👍
Love the aesthetic intro. Great editing skills. Love the content keep it up!!
Thanks so much!
Ngl im actually grateful for ur vids....it reduced my stress levels on applying to Oxford
Caecilius is in the garden, what a throwback 😂
Hahahaha I literally spent four years studying latin and that is the single sentence that I can remember :-)
@@racheldavies3276 me too!! love the horto x
Your videos have really inspired me and I’ve just applied for modern languages at LMH! X
Absolutely love all your videos so much. Lots of love from London
Thank you 💓

Ahhhhhh that makes me so happy!
Loving your content recently x
Thank you so much 💓
I absolutely love this video! I didn’t even want to look at applying to oxford because of some of these misconceptions but this has made me think again ❣️
I’m so glad 💓
please do give it a go! I'm a first year at Oxford (just arrived) and it is gorgeous, there's lovely people.
I LOVE this format!!
I really enjoyed it too!!!
Loved this format!!
I really enjoyed the format of this video! ❤️
Ahhhhh I am so glad x
the mushroom tagliatelle from m&s slaps hard and this was a really interesting video as someone who goes to one of the worst academic rated unis in the whole of the UK (apart from its one of the highest for wellbeing reasons!)
Well-being is the most important!
Eve Bennett it was for me anyways I go to the uni of Cumbria which is only half an hour away from home and the mental health side was so important for me in choosing a uni as I have ocd-bipolar comorbidity disorder and my counsellor is the loveliest woman ever ! and I’ve gone through five or six now lol
I found this so interesting! I’m from Oxford so interesting to see other people’s views on the city and the uni
So glad you liked it x
Hii Eve! I'm italian and I study languages too here in Venice🥰
I love your videos they help me a lot with my english!!
Love from Italy💌
I’m legit applying in 2 days to Oxford!!! THANK YOUUU FOR MAKING THIS ❤️
You’re welcome x
cant believe i watched all eves vids before and during my gcses... and now im on an eve binge, about to start law at oxford :')
I'm a freshers at Oxford! (MSc student) Kind of sad that I'm experiencing the uni during COVID when I can't take in the full range of opportunities that Oxford has to offer, but very informative video! Maybe I'll run into you in the streets :)
Enjoy your year!

Hope it helps!!!
Well apply to oxford if that is what you want to do
Thanks Eve, was great fun filming with you and discussing an important topic, as well as playing the weird Oxford words game we did on our channel🙌❤️
Thank you for filming with me!!!!😊
Yep thanks eve this is a great video
If you get time Eve, would you please make a video talking generally about Oxford that is work, free time, the compressed time table, the study time and the hanging out time. Please I’ll be very grateful to you.🥺
Will do!
Thank you very much. I can’t express my gratitude to you right now. I will be patiently waiting for this video cause I have future plans.... you know what I mean. It’s also a great thing for me that you replied to me.😇
Can I just say the aesthetic in the intro was MAD
thinking of applying to oxford this video was so helpful!!
I just applied for computer science at LMH (mainly bc you seem to love it so much lol) so this video was really helpful!!
Omg i was litterally thinking about whether or not to apply the other day ahah xx
You should!

Hope you enjoy!!! X
@@RevisionWithEve I will definitelyyyyyyy!! xxxx
i really want to study econ and management at oxford, i love your channel eve :)
That's what Cam studied! best of luck!
@@AverageBlokesShow tysm!!!
After watching "Morse" and "Lewis" I assume that there are many murders at Oxford and either the victim or the villain has a PhD.
I love assumptions videos
I’ve just applied to Exeter college for History and English! So nervous and excited about the next few months
Gooood luck xx
Eve Bennett thank you!
I am also going to apply for Exeter college in Earth Sciences, but I need to finish my personal statement quickly because the deadline is in a few days
Great College! That's where the two of us go, let us know if you have any questions about the process. Best of luck!
@@Clara-un4bq Lots of our Friends at Exeter study Earth Sciences and love it so best of luck in your application!
I needed this! I’m thinking of applying to study languages
Good luck if you do x
Theres no Waitrose in Oxford City Center. There’s a Waitrose in Headington and one on the Botley Road, which is on the bus route. There must be more but they won’t be anywhere near the city. 4 Sainsburrys + 1 in Summertown. 1 M&S in the city + 1 in Summertown.
Great to see you Eve! Hope Berlin is treating you well and you are still making the most of that non-Oxford pressure time. 😀 One thing I find odd with the whole are you able to work? Having done almost all my studies in America, the idea of not working whilst studying just doesn’t cross most of our minds. Most atudents have at least some form of a job, whether on campus or off, or in my case - both. Living off a loan 💵 you HAVE to oay back means most American students not only work during their studies, but worked before their studies and during every break as well. I don’t remember a time between 16 (legal working age in the U.S.) and 21 (average age of completing an undergraduate degree) in which I and my friends were not working at least half time. I DID study in Oxford for a while as well (the kids’ father did his D.Phil there) and even then I worked as well. Throughout graduate school (again in America) I worked full time. So I find the whole Oxford doesn’t want you to work weird because how else are you going to take care of yourself?? I’m glad they let you work like this - or else we wouldn’t enjoy spending time with you as much as we are able - but I think Oxford needs to get with the times. Students need to not just earn but to learn early on how to gain the skills to keep them employed long term and the value of working whilst also carrying out a life as well.
It's a Waitrose in Headington (up the hill) :)
If it’s up a hill I ain’t going hahahah
I spent a year at Oxford for my masters many years ago now, it sounds like nothing much has altered. It's a different experience for the undergraduates though. I met many good people regardless of background who are still friends now. Cowley Rd Tesco for my caffeine rushes was a highlight of my time there.
I submitted my Oxford application the other day, this video was very reassuring.
Good luck xxx
Eve Bennett Thank you 😊
Good luck, what are applying for?
@@ellieboughey760 Thank you, I'm applying for English Language and Literature :)
@@beth5476 Coool, I'm applying for Classical Archaeology and Ancient History, I hope I'll see you there ☺️
Off topic but u look amazing with long hair!
Loved the intro
Could you possibly comment on how much studying you need to do during vacations as a modern language student?
Lmao as a local I got so triggered when you said that if it’s beyond the train station it’s not Oxford 😂 But I guess that’s the same for students in any uni city 😂 Love the vid and the fact that it was more conversational between you and the guys xx
Thank you! And hahahaha sorry
Was an honour coming onto the channel to chat about Oxford!
I just arrived in Oxford on the 4th for my semester abroad!! Will you be back on campus on the 25th? If so, I would love to meet a full-time student!
Really, you can start classics in Oxford without any pre-knowledge in Latin?
I started studying Latin in Austria and I had to have written my A-levels in Latin in order to start my studies🤔
I would recommend watching Viola Helen’s videos because she just graduated with a degree in classics from Oxford.
Most schools in the UK don't teach Latin so it would be a little unfair for them to ask for it, as far as I know they teach it to you from whichever level you need
I literally this year applied to Exeter College Oxford :)) I can't wait (if I get in)
That's where we go! Best of luck!
@@AverageBlokesShow Thank you!!
don't know why i'm watching this sat at lmh anyway...
Hahahahaha I love that
4 weeks into my post grad at Oxford and I am dying :))))
wow what are you studying?
u look so beautifulll!!!!🥰
I wonder does their food taste good? like I know that their formal dinners have good food but is it just their formal dinners that have good food or every day they serve food that tastes good.
just sent my ucas application off and this came up haha
Well I hope it helps anyway - good luck!
SAME! what are you applying for?
So did I, good luck!
GOOD VIDEO!!!
Josh looks like tennis player Diego Schwartzman!
Wait til you do Finals. Then you'll know what 24/7 means.
No Waitrose in Oxford!? M&S tho, so it still can be expensive/on the higher end of quality
I prefer M&S as well tbh !
There’s a Waitrose in Botley (town next to the city centre, maybe 10 minutes on a bus) which is a really good size. There are definitely way more M&S stores than Waitrose. I’m a Sainsburrys gal myself heheh
Sometimes always seldom maybe.
Just wanna know your living my DREAM
Me toooo
If you don't drink, how would you be able to fit in and socialise and stuff?
For sure!
Either go to none acholix adverts or go out clubbing and have a lamande
Lots of societies at College and University level that don't involve drinking whatsoever
@@AverageBlokesShow yep I agree not that I would john any socistise at colege I do youtube my channel is called slick jumped over the lazy dog don't foget to like comment and subscribe
A centralised Welfare Unit “manned” by appropriately qualified “carers” would be a good idea. Some students would prefer having their problems aired and resolved in a space away from their college. Such a space would perhaps be beneficial to lonely students, who could meet up with other lonely students to whom they might relate.
Myth-wise, I applied to Oxford in the late 70s (Spanish and French papers for a place in Law, which I didn’t secure - should have stuck to languages!). At that time, Historians had to have studied or be prepared to study German. Is that still the case?
My uncle went to Baliol college Oxford and ened up teaching at Stanford University in California
ngl it sounds quite fun drinking port and arguing with tories if you're allowed as a non-tory
Lmao mood
KAm could get ITTT
Yeah
anyone applying for oriental studies 2021?? I'm hoping to study Chinese
Jeje, I just know Oxford because of CosmicSkeptic
Do you think Oxford is better than Cabridge? Did you ever consider Cambridge?
I prefer the city of Oxford but can’t really comment on the teaching!
May I ask why oxford is a famous school? Idk the background of that school but im really interested.
Basically it’s super old and is seen as one of the best universities in the world
“As the oldest university in the English-speaking world, Oxford is a unique and historic institution. There is no clear date of foundation, but teaching existed at Oxford in some form in 1096 and developed rapidly from 1167, when Henry II banned English students from attending the University of Paris.”
It’s extremely old and prestigious
But honesty why the heck would you need to know latin 😂😂
True hahaha
Some courses it's more useful to know Latin than others
I’m choosing to go for German over Latin, but I’m going to learn specialist Latin outside of school because of certain personal and (hopeful) occupational reasons.
If you do classics you have to, and if you do CAAH (as I am) you can and it’s useful Because you are studying the Roman world knowing the language is kinda important. Also if you do philology it’s needed.
I mean for any random degree that doesn't include language or history.
I’m a year 12 and want to apply for Oxford law, but I didn’t get amazing GCSE grades, I got 3 7s, a couple 6s, 1 5 and 1 4 from teacher assessed grades. I’m doing really well at sixth form and I’m aiming for top A- level grades. Lots of people have been telling me that Oxford want the top gcse grades for law so I’m scared I won’t get an interview, is this true or do I stand a chance?
From what I heard, Oxford looks at GCSE results more than Cambridge does, especially for the law course, so it might be wise for you to apply to Cambridge instead. Cambridge is said to focus more on AS, although GCSEs still matter. Basically, most universities only glimpse at GCSEs but the exceptions are Oxbridge medicine and law (plus the most competitive courses from some of the other Russel group universities like UCL, LSE etc). Your GCSEs aren't horrible though - in fact, assuming the rest of your grades were 8s and/or 9s (or even if they're not) , they are perfectly good enough for some prestigious universities including Newcastle, Manchester, Durham... you will find out when you research :)
Consider also applying to Leeds University - friendly teaching staff, smart modern Law Faculty building, Law library in the iconic Parkinson Building, very active student union: all in a large vibrant city.
Did you get in?
Which college did you go to?
How many A levels do you need to get into oxford university
I had 3, and 1 AS level - Cam
How do A levels/GSCE work? I’m a US student here and we only have ACT/SAT/AP....😆
@@jessicaeddy8376 hey Jess I’m not too sure on SAT’s, but I’m sure on the internet there’s a converter in terms of what the equivalents are to A-Levels!
Hope u enjoy university Oxford big place
It’s great thanks!

Do people get discriminated based on their political views?
@Eli House how do you know? do you go to oxford uni?
I got a question how do I apply and pay for oxford if I'm from the US lol just realized that I'm 12 and asking this but what can I say it's my dream 😂🤩🥰❤️
Are most students sexually active or does that go without saying?
Apparently you get into more debt going to Oxford? Is that true?
Don’t think so!
