Cambridge Vlog 14 | Long Days, Supervisions & Cocktails

[@jackthorpe1589]

Hey Jake, I'm a budding Comp sci/Engineer from France and I was wondering a few things - Should I apply for Comp sci or engineering? What college is the best for Land economy? Which operating system is preferred by the International, History students of Christ college? How do I possibly prevent RSI when using a laptop? Thank you.

[@jakewrightnet]

This made me laugh :)

its to nice to see people actually walking the streets and riding bikes to get where they need to go. i live in florida, i once saw someone slowly driving a pick up truck with an obese man in the back holding the leash attached to his dog while the dog was walking behind the truck... so seeing people actually going places without the use of a machine is amazing to me. it makes me feel normal that i walk to the store.

Thanks Jake! Cool to see your weekly (or whatever interval...) snippet of life at Cambridge!

[@harrybaals358]

Ok so I am a high school student in the US, and I'm trying to get ready for college in about two years. I really like how you show your life. Also I love how you vlog over a few days. Your videos are surprisingly high quality. Keep up the great vids :)

[@jamaic1aboy2]

Very interesting Jake!

[@zokamars]

Love these vlogs.

Great VLOG yet again Jake, Its great to see education beyond GCSE which is where I am at currently, and a fellow "northerners" opinions on things down south !

[@soleimananwary2741]

+Jake Wright your vlogs are awesome!

[@BAMitsLOR]

Love your videos, especially the vlogs! :)

[@lewisthomas3893]

Hi Jake, i shall try to avoid asking a stupid question, haha! What apps do you have on your mac? You seem like the kind of person to dislike a crowded system so the ones you have must be essential? I have been following your videos from the start, such a great addition to the pre-cambridge experience!

[@jakewrightnet]

I have 121 items in my Applications folder so it's not that minimal haha. The apps I have open everyday are Safari, Mail, Spotify, Final Cut and Twitter.

[@wowrogue192]

Thanks for the upload my friend, I'm from the North of England (Newcastle) and i think i can hear a hint of Northerner in you :D Were are you from?

[@chiefcookiez9829]

wowrogue192 where from in Newcastle

[@Hopsonn]

What language is that at 2:26?

[@yazoo178]

I recently completed a Computer Science degree and I am curious why you were made to focus on Prolog? I found it really difficult to adapt to after having familiarity with Java, C and C#.

[@fransisson9911]

How can you live without gravy?! It must be a northern thing, school meals where I am are 10% food 90% gravy!!!:D

[@anpadhjaatplays]

I am watching all your vlogs now in 2020 :) I like your videos keep going man

[@FinleysTk]

Hello Jake, I was wondering whether you have had any jobs, apprenticeships or internships, and if so what were they, as i am considering getting a job in 6th form and don't know whether to or not as it may effect my grades, but i think getting a job with the extra money will be useful

[@jakewrightnet]

I did work experience when I was about 16 at a software development company and then went back to the same place 2 more times over the two summers before uni. This was good experience and great for my personal statement. It's quite common to get internships once you've started uni but I haven't yet. I think that while you're at sixth form it's really good to just get experience to help get into uni, but I've seen people balance a part time job and A Levels.

[@yey96]

What happens when your late to a lecture or supervision?

[@jakewrightnet]

Nothing. Lecturers don't seem to care about people wandering in late and a supervisor probably wouldn't do much either. If you're consistently late to supervisions you might end up with an angry director of studies chasing you.

[@IDxWeeksy]

Would a level maths, further maths, physics and french be ok for a cs degree?

[@jakewrightnet]

Sounds pretty good to me

[@IDxWeeksy]

Thanks, I am a massive fan of your videos keep up the good work. You're an inspiration to many of us

[@arjunnagarajan8736]

What UMS did you get for all of your A-Levels?

[@jakewrightnet]

My average was about 95 but I can't quite remember

[@vi5264]

Hi Jake, how much knowledge (programming) wise do you recommend you need before starting comp sci at uni? I've heard people who've never programmed struggle so just wanted to know :)

[@jakewrightnet]

Yeah, it's useful to have some knowledge, and I found it helpful to know about object oriented programming in advance. You don't need to be an expert because it'll all be taught on the course but just knowing the basics will prevent you from getting confused straight away in lectures.

[@vi5264]

Jake Wright Cool, Thanks :D

[@paravervideos2127]

what was your grade in the GCSE?

[@jakewrightnet]

I got 5 A*s and 3 As at GCSE

[@paravervideos2127]

im in argentina, so i have the IGCSE in october, im 14 and i dont know how to study. I watched your video on how to dtudy effectively, but it did not helped me. Any other hints?

[@justgames123]

Paravervideos Lol,revision tips can only go so far,its all up to you....

[@paravervideos2127]

yeah, shit

[@toofargonenow7217]

My house has the best furniture. Obviously :D

[@alfie637]

If your making an laser line up could you use python to do the code?

[@sowmyag5142]

Jake most of the time you are alone in your room.why??????????

[@vi5264]
