Hi Mei-Ying! I have been watching your penpal videos and i really want one! But i dont know how to convince my parents... i havent asked them yet but im scared to do so. Pls can you tell me what to do?

[@soniablaggan]

Do you think this is still applicable for second years students like me, going into year 3? 😩💗

[@meiyingchow]

If your course is 4 years long then definitely but otherwise it’s grad job application time instead - like me haha 💛 you’ve this Sonia!

Can you do a video on flat sharing

[@impactnojoy]

Hey when did you apply for internships? I’m a first year student, just started university. When should I apply for internships?

[@ilinaganeva6766]

How did you apply to Dior! Great video ❤️

[@meiyingchow]

I was sent an email in September saying they had opened their applications - I just had to send in a resume and then an assessment day. I altered my CV quite a bit to fit to their media requirements and I emailed it in to their careers email! The role was to assist the head of E business through supporting E Retail and E commerce strategy! You can ask the careers team to add you to the emailing list when openings occur 💜

[@ilinaganeva6766]

Thank you so much, this was super helpful. I love your channel! 😘

[@meiyingchow]

I’m so glad!! Best of luck with your applications lovely 💕

[@musasalahuddin8722]

Hi, I wanted to know which residence hall you live in now. I know you started of with the UoL College hall but noticed you that you have changed the residence now. Are you planning to change again? Would really appreciate the information:))

[@meiyingchow]

Hey! I did a flat tour back in September when I moved in and did a housing/ accommodation in London video where it explained a bit more but no I got a 2 year contract so will be staying here 🥰

[@musasalahuddin8722]

Sorry to bother you again but is it that you did not like college hall that you had to change it or did you change your accommodation only for the sake of change. Would you please leave a 30 word review about the college hall and your new accommodation and rate them on a scale of ten. Thanks a lot!

[@Charlie0311]

Mei/everyone: I'm going to study law at a top university, do you think it's worth it to pay extra to study in London or study somewhere cheaper outside London. I know it would help to be in London so I can attend open Days and chemes at law firms but could I do the same as easily outside London.

[@aitanaromeo5486]

Do you think is it difficult to apply for an internship in London for someone outside the UK?

[@meiyingchow]

It’s not no! At assessment centres you often get a lot of people who have flown in from different countries. When it comes to grades you just have to convert them sometimes in your online application and there might be some extra steps when it comes to visas but they often welcome applications from anyone in the right year if study and with a passion for what they do! 💪🏼

[@aitanaromeo5486]

Mei-Ying Chow Thank you so much!

[@meiyingchow]

My pleasure 😇 have a great weekend!

[@idk-vk7pm]

[@taniabrt8277]

Do you think they take college students?

[@sdproductions9660]

I really hope you reply to this😭are graduate roles hard to get in the economics/finance sector from your knowledge?

[@pepi99256]

Hi, around what time of the year did you apply for the summer internship? thanks! :)

[@meiyingchow]

I started applying around christmas time - they all close around January often!

[@pepi99256]

Thank you! x

[@rabisingh6102]

Hey Can you apply for internships after you graduate? For example; I will graduate next year in May 2023. Can I start applying for summer internships in April 2023? Do they hire candidates who will be graduated by then?

[@jkrich4754]

i am a last year student at Bangour university, i will graduate my school in May 2021. can i apply to summer internship in Uk now or should i wait till May

[@raatihnr]
