About me:
My name's Paige and I have just finished my second year studying Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge. I am a member of Jesus College and make regular vlogs of my day to day life at uni, including lectures, supervisions, and social activities.

[@PaigeY]

I knowww, I look around my lecture theatres and I’m like where are all the girls at?! 😢

[@Ellie-bk1zw]

PaigeY it’s definitely the opposite for me at uni - it’s probably a 40:60 split of girls and boys doing physics (though in my college there are 4 girls and like 12 boys 🙄)

[@PaigeY]

That 1 B is a lucky charm, don’t you worry 😉

[@_godsl4yer_]

I've heard that unless it's a really competitive course like medicine, they don't really care about your GCSEs. Obviously a decent set with passes in Maths and English, but what you get in A Levels are more important. Plus they normally have their own admissions test for subjects. With the personal statement, this leaves GCSEs with little value as it is a weak indicator for success.

[@_godsl4yer_]

[@al-mahaal-thani5323]

Where I'm from, most universities are predominantly female and there is a huge national initiative towards education and female in STEM fields.

[@remlatzargonix1329]

I would not worry about negative assumptions.....it's the internet.......although most people are great.....there will always be some super negative trolls. Also, without knowing a person, I would think that it would be difficult to make accurate assumptions about someone you see for a few moments on KZbin. I think to do well in many UK universities, you have to be both very bright and work hard......because most of the students are bright...so, going the extra mile is a way to distinguish one from the rest.

[@millyrobinson5757]

You inspire me so much!! I want to become a facial reconstructive surgeon, and I really want to go to Cambridge to achieve that!!

[@lenasyona2834]

I completely stand by your side with the things you don't want to share online. If I am a KZbinr I consider relationship is my privacy, and I would never share that to my viewers. I am introvert most of the time--but I enjoy socializing as well. I know that it takes courage to do this video. Love you Paige!

[@eugeniahanniffy2724]

Study something that you know will always have your interest. Something that will leave you curious, and let you grow as a person. When I was in school, I loved studying and learning, but hated homework and subjects I did not understand. In university I found fields that were of interest to me and my work ethic improved, all due to enthusiasm for the subject. I grew more in the sense that I became more patient with myself and kept trying when something was not going my way. It is all about wanting it. Hope it helps xx

Hi PaigeY! Just subscribed :D I have a question for you and it's related to the first question you answered in this video. I want to start a 5 year integrated master in Maths/Physics the coming fall, however I have very little faith in my own intelligence. I don't think I'm an idiot or anything, in fact most people seem to think I'm an intelligent person (I don't see it myself but there you go). But I just don't know. So I'm basically wondering if you think I can get through a physics degree on hard work and discipline (and passion!! so much passion) alone? Thank you!
