Moving to University Vlog (Room Tour + Matriculation) | Jack Edwards | AD

I moved to Durham University! Follow me around in this moving vlog (as in 'moving out', not deeply, emotionally moving), documenting Freshers' Week, matriculation, a room tour, and my new life in Durham! Special shoutout to Panasonic for kindly sponsoring this video, and to my wonderful flat-mates who have made my uni experience incredible so far.

[@jordan-rk3by]

Is there a need for being so rude?

[@jack_edwards]

when u try to be helpful but ur actually making things worse oooops (ps i showed my dad this and we just had a right old giggle)

EEEEEEKKK - i can't recommend it enough!

[@elliewalton6357]

It’s such an amazing place to live! I’ve lived here all of my life and I practically know everyone here!! Good luck!!

[@zeynep5090]

omg same! i am watching his vlogs to have a sense of what the first year would look like and so far, i'm not sure what i'm feeling. i am hella excited and also terrified at the same time

[@rachelbrown2185]

I've just found your channel and in your current situation as a third year university student, think it's so amazing you've logged your time at university and I wish I had the same idea. Watching your journey now and seeing how different it has been to mine! Love your motivation and drive:)

[@eri4030]

You have great eyebrows

[@jack_edwards]

Haha thank you very much, I grew them myself 😉

[@auniawfiyah9116]

Ouh kinky

[@1giane]

bro your glasses are mad zoomed in

[@laurengood774]

I've applied for English Literature at Durham, it's such a tense wait for offers as they give out the majority after January! Loved watching this vlog, it's so helpful to hear advice from current students. Best of luck for this year! X

[@jack_edwards]

Don't worry if you don't receive your offer for a little while - I didn't get mine until the end of March as I'd been pulled from the college I applied to and given a place at a much better one! Good luck :)

[@laurengood774]

Thank you so much, I'm crossing my fingers! :)

[@maximusfbu]

Do you know what’s weird? My brother moved into that room after you

23 minute video and a hot chocolate? PERFECT END TO MY DAY

[@jack_edwards]

THIS MAKES ME VERY HAPPY

[@niallersnandosxo]

I love your vlogs, they always make me feel so calm and at peace. Being a fresher too, its refreshing to just put on a vlog whilst working to feel less lonely, don't know if that's just me! Hope you're loving uni! :)

[@jack_edwards]

aw i love that - thank you! hope you're enjoying uni too x

[@alicegreenland9277]

If they're willing, could you do a "meet my flatmates" It would be so cool to meet everyone!

[@amandamakesstuff1383]

Alice Greenland agreed! This sounds like such a Fun idea

[@jack_edwards]

you just made ten peoples' day with this suggestion, they're VERY MUCH down for this idea hahaha

hahaha thank you very much for watching!

[@richasarma9281]

Jack Edwards hey

[@angelmay9860]

Looking back on this video after finishing first year at Durham. Crazy how I’d binge your Durham videos leading up to moving in and first year is already over. Time flies :)

[@LiamBushrod]

I'm a 2nd year engineering student at Durham University and it's definitely appropriate to vlog here 😂 I was going to make a fresher's video last year but it was too crazy..., and like you, I suffered from achieving absolutely nothing in fresher's week apart from getting the flu! Great video mate 👍

[@amylumsden466]

Never watched your videos before but this randomly appeared in my recommended. Weirdest thing watching clips of my home city on your vlog, especially when I'm now studying at the university of Sheffield 😂

[@jack_edwards]

Ah thank you so much for stumbling upon my little corner of the internet! Hope you're enjoying uni!

[@declanpatrickgorman7107]

Jack Edwards what’s Sheffiled uni like?

I AM SO SORRY I EDITED THIS WITHOUT WEARING HEADPHONES MY BAD

[@jsullo22]

Thanks for the warning! Saved me !

[@gojomybiasfr]

OMFG THANK YOUUUUUUU

[@RyanandAiden]

So jack, the first vide we ever watched of yours was your room tour back at your home. It's lovely to see that you've still got some of those things from your home bedroom in your new room. However we don't see that black egg timer you had. We loved that! Saw one at TK Max but it was far to small. Did you bring it up with you? Also we did the same with the house plant sale! Got loads for the cafe we work at near the cathedral. Also don't be worried about Vlogging in Durham because it's not even a thing, most people will think your just a tourist . . . You'll soon know exactly what we mean haha. Super pleased your enjoying Durham. Feel free to pop in to Cafédral for a free coffee on us! It's the one wth the blue door and blur church pews outside. We work Monday to Friday so come then. Not in for the next two weeks though. Haha! Also, don't get too drunk at Fabios or osbournes now haha!

[@jack_edwards]

AYYYYYY thank you so much, that's very kind of you! I left most things at home as I wanted my bedroom to still feel like my room when I went home over the holidays (and it was from George at ASDA) 😊

[@SuperAshraf89]

Biggg up Durham!

[@jack_edwards]

Just had a peak at your channel and I'm very excited to have a big ol' binge of your videos tonight!!!

ah lucky you - it's so beaut! i'm loving it here so far ☺️

[@gayatrichatterjee174]

Jack Edwards hey Jack, I’ll be going to university this fall, just wanted to know if this room is college accommodation or a private one ? I’m actually conflicted with the idea of which option should I be opting for .

[@molly.louise]

@@gayatrichatterjee174 I think the uni require all freshers to live in college accommodation, this is also the best way to settle in and make friends. As for this room, its part of St Cuthberts society college :)

How the hell did you fit that all in the flipping boot

[@tillycollard]

Hoping this will be me next year! Have applied for English lit at Durham and am anxiously waiting to hear back. Coming back to these vlogs to quell my nerves :)

[@mogy7331]

how did you get on?

[@amandamakesstuff1383]

I really really enjoyed this video! I loved the editibg style and i also loved getting a but of an insight into your first couple of weeks at uni. That photo of your puppy at 17.05 is so adorable, and makes me miss my pup so much more. Happy birthday anyways, although I know it's passed by now!

[@jack_edwards]

Thank you very much! omg I knoooow I miss my pup ridiculous amounts :(

[@faginnyc]

How did you navigate being a first year and a vlogger at your uni?? I'm planning on filming vlogs and videos for my college but don't know if it is "socially acceptable either" and am lowkey terrified of coming off as egotistical or social media obsessed. I want to represent the queer community in higher education whilst filming my college experience.

[@ameliamullins8915]

Your channel makes me smile, I love it so much, love the little jokes or puns even when they don't work out. Thank you for all the happiness! (:

[@neiveynoo]

Woo!! I've just applied to do English Lit next year so this is quite useful!! Also the sunset on the end screen ummmmm wow

[@jack_edwards]

ahhhhh how exciting! which college did you apply for? hopefully i'll see you next year!!!

This may well be most favourite vlog I’ve ever watched!

[@komal8633]

That alarm gave me so much anxiety. It’s literally the same alarm that i used to use.

[@daisyrainbow900]

I've been convinced for like a year that you were wearing a kilt in the thumbnail..I just figured out today that you're not. I see this video on my youtube homepage so often and every time I wonder why you're in the a kilt..oopsie

[@romaiobrown-senior8602]

Phew, not just me who thought that

[@vladislavslasinskis6677]

Omg that spider literally killed me I had to check my room afterwards for any lol

I was waiting for this video 😃hope you're having an amazing time at university

[@jack_edwards]

yessss i loooove it! thank you for watching!

My first choice is between Durham and Warwick, so I am binge watching your channel to help me decide. Thanks!

A video all about your rails trip would be amazing, how you panned and financed etc. I am hoping to plan one for this summer and really need some tips!

[@jack_edwards]

On it like a car bonnet - will probably upload this in like Feb / March kinda time ???

[@KrisFD]

Find myself coming back to this video every few months it makes me so excited for you when I watch it and IMAGINE you just hit 100k what that's so insane!!

[@caitlinkinney1164]

currently waiting for an offer from durham and it's killing me! also bc i'm an international student this vid was super helpful! thank you x :-)

[@jack_edwards]

ahhhh good luck!!! they notoriously send out offers really really late at Durham - i didn't get mine until March!

That room is so perfect OMG

Not going to uni for a few years but why are these videos so addicting?

What college are you in btw? I got into Castle and I’m so exciteddd

Ahhhh that's a toughie - personally I didn't take a gap year and I'm glad I didn't because I knew I'd find going back to education too difficult, but all my housemates who took gap years did the most fun and insane things!

Thank you so much for your videos. I graduated from Durham back in 2006 after a 4 year Foreign Language degree. I too was at Cuth's and it has been so nice watching and re-living those Durham days and remembering all the monumental moments! So thank you and hope you are still enjoying it prefusely! x

[@nishtanandakumar4412]

i love coming back to watch your old vids, they bring me so much peace! on another note, as an american high school senior... YOU ONLY PAY LIKE 9K A YEAR FOR COLLEGE WHAT THE HELL thats so cheap compared to like the 80k a year here (for a school thats ranked as high as durham)... brb moving to england rn

[@joem7687]

FYI that price is for UK students... If an international student was to come study its roughly 25k - 32k per year for tuition alone!

[@nishtanandakumar4412]

@@joem7687 but still!!! even 50k, including housing and other costs, is better than the 70k that im going to be paying for college now lmao
