great video, I hope you're used to the london life now. would love an update video if you ever get any free time to make one.

[@lordbaldwin4493]

I am thinking about doing my bachelor's and masters in civil engineering. But the tiution fee Is too much . Is there anyway to get a good scholarships . Which will cover my tiution fee and living cost both

[@jessayyou]

I’ve also tried looking for scholarships but unfortunately it seems that undergrad scholarships in the UK are not so easy to find :( There are some scholarships being offered from Imperial itself but only small amounts. I think you would have better luck getting one from your government or an organisation from your home country. You can also research for organisations from other countries but they’ll likely have conditions like having to work in their country for some number of years. Either way, wish you the best of luck!

@@jessayyou is there any kind of loan available.

[@jessayyou]

I’m so sorry I’m not so familiar with loans as I did not look into them :(

[@AbyssPog]

hallo, what do you think of your accommodation there? And is it easy to get the cheapest room available at Imperial?

[@jessayyou]

I’ve been liking my accommodation, just some heating problems which my hall specifically is infamous for. You’ll have to choose five accommodation preferences and they’ll allocate one out of those five to you, so you can easily choose five options with prices that match your budget! :)

[@victorrodriguez5981]

@@jessayyou any recommendations for accommodations?

[@jessayyou]

I’ve heard Kemp Porter is really nice with a great price, just that you have to rely on public transportation to get to campus and tube strikes here are a common thing. Eastside, Westside and Beit Hall are very close to South Ken campus but quite costly while Wilson House is in the middle in terms of price and is a 30-minute walk away. You’ll have to weigh up your priorities and see which choice is best for you. Hope that helped!

[@victorrodriguez5981]

@@jessayyou thank u so much!

[@jessayyou]

You’re very welcome!

[@akerkezh7828]

Hi! Can I ask about language requirements,could I pass with DET?

[@jessayyou]

Hi there! I’m afraid I’m not familiar with what DET is but you could easily look up Imperial’s English requirements on their website! I myself used my IB English qualification to fulfill the requirement and other English tests such as IELTS and Duolingo can also be used to prove your fluency in English. Hope that helped!

[@catherine1592]

heyyy, Great vid!!!. Is this for your Bachelors degree, and what exams did you write to get in??

[@jessayyou]

Thanks!!😄 I’m doing an integrated master’s degree, and I had to attend an interview with Imperial! Did IB before uni :)

[@susmitamishra7326]

Hey, how did manage the accommodation? Any suggestions for those who are coming in September 2023

[@jessayyou]

Hello! I’m at Wilson and if you’re gonna be at the old building the bathrooms are always out of order and a lot of the radiators don’t work which is misery during winter🥶 Obviously could just use other house’s toilets and get a portable heater but a lot of things are definitely not working quite often which is inconvenient. It is however a walkable distance from campus and not too close to cost a fortune hahaha. Kemp Porter is probably the best hall if you’re fine with travel expenses and risks of transport strikes - I would personally choose KP if I could choose again. If you want somewhere that’s super close to campus you could go for Eastside/Westside/Beit though they’re pretty costly. Hope that helped!

[@jessayyou]

*You can borrow a portable heater from Wilson if your radiator isn’t working

[@mrkanabe]

Keep going 💪

[@Kfjfjdndjxhdjd]

Hey! I was just wondering (if you don’t mind sharing🙈) what IB points you got? I saw somewhere in these comments that you did IB ⭐️

[@jessayyou]

Heyy! Yes I did IB and I got a 43 :)

[@Kfjfjdndjxhdjd]

@@jessayyou woaaah that’s amazing well done💗, what subjects did you do?

[@jessayyou]

Thankss haha! I did MAAHL, Physics HL, Chemistry HL, English A Lang&Lit SL, Economics SL and Indonesian B SL!

[@Kfjfjdndjxhdjd]

@@jessayyou woaaaah maths aa HL🥹. How did you find chem HL? I’ve just started my DP2 year😅. Alsooo how are you finding imperial? And what other unis interested you? Sorry for all the questions 🤣🤣

[@jessayyou]

Chem HL was not so bad for me - might’ve been because I had a really good teacher😅 I’m really enjoying it here in Imperial! Challenging to a good degree and a really diverse community of people here. Wanted to go to a UC(Uni of California) but changed my mind because you know, America. For UK my second choice was UCL👍🏼

[@ilikeemebetter]

hi! im currently doing my 2nd year of ib and i wanted to ask if you have done anything to add on to ur portfolio while doing ur diploma in preparation for uni applications?

[@jessayyou]

Hey there! I was initially aiming for US universities so I did various extracurriculars but UK unis don’t value those as much far as I know. Things you could do though include taking courses, doing projects, being in clubs etc. that are related to your major. Anything I could relate to my major I wrote about in my personal statement! Hope that helps somehow :)

[@jessayyou]

It’s in the music room in Wilson house which is Imperial accommodation!

Are there scholarship?

[@jessayyou]

I believe Imperial awards scholarships but unfortunately not to a big number of students. You can look up scholarships provided by Imperial College - they should have a page for it on their website!

[@0_304]

@@jessayyou Where can I find this website and when can I apply for this scholarship for the year 2024/2024

You can try exploring this website - www.imperial.ac.uk/study/fees-and-funding/scholarships-search/ - for starters. Hope that helps!
