Oxford University vlog : An honest recount of student life

Aesthetic, relaxing vlog where I'm walking down a memory lane as an Oxford University graduate. As romantic as studying there seems on the outside, Oxford is not for everyone... I had to wipe my tears a few times editing this video, so I hope you enjoy it!
As always, thank you so much for watching...

I am a current Oxford student and watching this made me imagine how I might feel 10 years after I graduate.. I will definitely miss Oxford..

[@neska1348]

Hope you are enjoying your time at Oxford!

Hi, I was just wondering what getting a “special diploma” from the University of Oxford means. Is it the same as getting a College Degree and is it enough for someone to get a Master’s at Wharton University?

[@JESUSistheTRUTH-ROBLOX]

JESUS CHRIST is LORD. the Gospel is simple, salvation is too. by grace through faith, no works will do. give your [entire] life to Him Who loved you and died for you. repent ye of your sins and be saved.

i'm currently attending oxford, and you're making this all feel like a dream again

[@neska1348]

Glad to hear that 😂! I hope you’re having a great time!

This is visual storytelling at its best!

Thanks so much!!!

Hi Neska - It was great to see some of the highlights of Oxford, I absolutely loved visiting there, it certainly is special. It must have felt very surreal being back, I know those who have attended Oxford University and while rewarding it was a very intense experience. Well Done on taking time out when you needed to, there is no shame in that and it takes great courage to do what is right by you. We can be grateful and thankful for our experiences and yet not want to go back and relive them. We take what we can from them and move forward with our lives. Wishing you all the best with your dreams x :-) stay safe and well

[@neska1348]

Aw thank you so much! Your comment made me tear up 🙂. Yes, I had a very love-hate relationship with Oxford. It was beautiful but quite stressful. Through all that experience, I became a happier and wiser person in the end though!

[@zeinareads4978]

Thank you so much for sharing your oxford experience with us. I went to a similar academic institution which is also highly ranked in my country and I have very similar sentiments to you. As rewarding and nostalgic as it seems in the hindsight, I will never forget how anxiety-inducing and stressful the actual experience was.

[@neska1348]

Thank you so much for your comment! I’m glad my story resonated with you ❤️. The experience also made me into the resilient person I am today, and I hope you feel the same way!

[@matteo5399]

This was a beautiful video! I also have suspended from Oxford for a year, and was wondering how it felt coming back? Do you have any advice or tips on settling back in, or any new mindsets you tried to implement thatt helped?

[@neska1348]

Thanks so much! Hope you’re resting well during your year out. What I thought helped me was VERY casually prepping for exams in advance, like making notes etc. I was put on antidepressants for a while which helped too. As for mindsets, I focused on trying my best every day by sticking to a reasonable routine rather than results. Also, please know that suspension is more common than talked about and there is an FB group for suspended students, to help you feel less alone. Wishing you all the best ❤️

[@allie9023]

Thank you for making this. I know you made it a while ago but I came across it today. I have an offer from oxford but I'm not sure if I want to take it up. I have another good option which I always imagined I would go to but since getting an offer from oxford I find it hard to think of turning it down. At the same time oxford has always scared me because I fear it will have a really bad impact on my mental health.

[@neska1348]

Hi Allie, thanks for your comment and congrats on getting an offer! I would ask myself whether I would regret not taking the offer at some point in my life and decide based on that 😊… But to answer that question, I would also factor in whether a degree specifically from Oxford would help me achieve what I want after graduating. After all, formal education is there to help us get the career we want 😅.

[@finn1532]

Hi! I also got an offer and have similar fears. Oxford was always an unlikely outcome, so I prepared for rejection, and now I don't know what to do. I totally get it! xxx

[@aksharamalliswaran9220]

Hello!! The vlog was beautiful for me and nostalgic for you I guess...Could you please say some tips about giving away a personal statement and other entry requirements as I am a young aspirant hoping to study at Oxford...

[@neska1348]

Heyo! Thanks for the comment! Entry requirements depend on the course and can be found on the Oxford website. www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/courses/admission-requirements As for personal statement tips; passion for the subject needs to come through and should be evidenced e.g. quote books you’ve read, any extracurricular projects you’ve done, or any related internships. Also, it is read by professors that read hundreds of them daily so I would suggest you make it personal :) - e.g. tell an interesting story on what inspired you to apply for this particular subject at Oxford, and what you aspire to do with the degree after! Hope this helps!

Amazing film! I really enjoy it. I have a question about vlogging in Oxford: do you need any permission for filming at university/Oxford city?

[@neska1348]

Thank you!!! As for the permission, I really don’t think so. There are loads of tourists filming/taking photos all the time.

[@kkiky4]

You should watch in 1080p resolution....,😎

I agree!

its so strange seeing how oxford is romanticised when I live/work here and its been nothing but hell and construction XD PS. patisserie Valerie closed down because the owners went bankrupt, they shut that brand down in 2018

Oooh! I didn’t know! Now it makes sense why I haven’t seen any of their branches in London either recently… Haha learning something new every day 😂

I was. I graduated a while back.

@@neska1348 how had you enrolled yourself?

[@neska1348]

Through the UCAS website which processes applications to UK universities. I would also suggest you visit the Oxford university website to check the admission criteria and other course details etc.

[@dominicreisenbichler912]

Hi. I‘m from Austria and wanna help some students here to start studying in Oxford because a lot of them are smart and wanna study there. Would it be possible to have a short call, Video-Call, connect on Social Media or something to answer some questions? Would be nice and thank you for sharing your vlogs. They are very interesting. :-)

[@neska1348]

Hi, I don’t do calls. But if you drop me an email on [e-mail], I’d be happy to answer your questions there. That being said, it’s been a while since I graduated and even longer since I applied so some processes may now be different. I would suggest maybe finding some reddit groups with current Oxford students that could answer your questions with more up to date information.
