+ To be honest I expected that the standard of accommodation especially for Magdalen College would be much better then I thought. I am really disappointed. Graduated student from Food Science and Human Nutrition.

[@SimonClark]

Excellent work!

[@monstercolorfunco4391]

Jamoe, the accomodation and catering are the least fascinating topic of the video, and the most fascinating is the old architecture, rooms, walk ways and gardens. It zooms through those and that's all i wanted to see in the video, Magdalen college, the hostorical monument. It would be awesome if you could send out a slow version of the walk around the quads and any other historically informative video. Thanks

[@carolinewyatt9552]

Thank you for this! I got an offer from Magdalen today (didn't apply there - applied to Worcester) and, although I saw a little of it when I was interviewed there (didn't take much in though as I was too busy shaking!!) I'd actually never seen it before (somehow never made it that far on open day), and so this video was really helpful for me :) it looks amazing and I've fallen in love with it :)

[@rjhogarth]

I second that a video on managing money at Oxford would be incredibly useful.

[@stumbling]

I was expecting much more lavish accommodation. A student is a student, I guess.

[@Jamoe]

+CowLunch I still think it is the nicest place I've ever called home. There was a deer park outside my window! I doubt that will ever be true again :P

[@acatcalledronald]

This video is awesome! I want to go to Magdalen now :)

[@sasha730]

This was incredibly helpful- thank you!

[@lizziebennet7675]

thank you!! I'll be looking forward to seeing it! I think it will help a lot of us!!! :))

I was a student at a much less grand college (Exeter), but the accommodation was far better than this.

[@jonathanpyle1807]

Exeter is grand as well, that dining hall tho 🔥

[@emmajay5084]

this accomm is literally fine??? can't see any issue tbh

[@patlynch1202]

i’ve received an offer from jesus college and there’s an open day for offer holders approaching. is it possible, considering it’s term time, to visit magdalen at the end of the day, i’d be interested to see the deer and the college’s architecture. would this be free or need to be payed for it possible?

[@naheenakter3305]

My dream Oxford University

[@jasksingh2492]

Yo Anthony it's lit af!

[@mohannadislaieh3009]

Super gorgeous!

[@Loughyhy6n07]

[@ankurwadhwa7227]

[@draculanova6548]

Too bad, i'll never get in

[@BelligerentStyle]

Could you share some recipes?

[@experiencebg]

Great video, thanks. :)

[@Jamoe]

In the pipeline :)

[@noneone.............]

These Buildings are a classical European Architecture that combine Gothic and Traditional medieval age ! Insya Allah, I'll learn to this university " Oxford university", M'i dream too fabolous to be achieved ? Give me "NO" yeah ! 🇬🇧🌐♥️💷❗

[@corserine]

What a dump. Like most Oxford colleges it all top show. Lovely mellow limestone buildings but in reality, the wonderful facades conceal a third-rate facility.

[@jonathanpyle1807]

Shut up you salty reject

[@MrMidnight4]

Looks horrible

[@houmicha]

My offer was for Magdalen too! I'm getting really excited now, hopefully everything goes well :)

[@jonathanpyle1807]

Bit late now :) but did you get the grades and if so, what was it like😁

[@houmicha]

Jono Pyle 5 years later! Thanks for still commenting though, hahaha! I didn’t get the offer in the end though, but I ended up going to manchester and graduated 2 years ago.

[@nanashi7779]

@@houmicha Well done.

[@Jamoe]

Free gym and swimming membership, squash courts, field for informal ball games and I believe somewhere to play tennis.

[@lizziebennet7675]

can you make a video on your advice on going to university and how you should manage your money and how you adjusted to university life in oxford?????? :) it wud be much appreciated :D

[@すわこ-l2b]

歴史を感じる建物ばかり！！さすが英国ですね🌹

[@Jamoe]

Yep! There are two, one is a movie room and the other is more a games room. Better yet, they are getting refurbished for next term. Rumour has it it'll feature a pool table, table tennis, table football, a lovely new TV... Oh and there is a Wii :)

[@turmoil9]

the student i was shadowing belonged to this collage! :')

[@KeiraGilleechi]

Amazing video, thanks for making this!!

[@neondaba_]

How is the student financial support at Magdalene? Is it at good as St. John’s?

[@Jamoe]

Ah you did the shadowing scheme! What subject were you shadowing for?

[@turmoil9]

I'm applying for E&M, but I got matched up with a student doing applied Maths. Not complaining though, it still was brilliant!

[@eveilola6693]

Thanks for this and all your other fantastic videos!! I'm considering applying to Magdalen but I've been getting slightly mixed messages about the atmosphere of the college. How did you find it (socially and academically)?

[@josie6291]

the absolute most beautiful college :)

[@lukasrussell5905]

i was a chorister there

[@amybrown3780]

Any ensuing bathrooms?

[@maxryder9321]

Sainsbury’s is still going strong

[@viniciuscoelho2180]

Poeta Vinícius de Moraes estudou aí

[@TiresiasPrufrock]

Hello ! Thank you for the very nicely crafted video. I have a question, though. Do you know where the lectors are supposed to live ? Thank you in advance for any reply you may give me.

[@jonahhowe4114]

TiresiasPrufrock lol uve been waiting for 7 years for an answer sorry 😂

[@versatilechicken]

Did you ever consider Merton? It's nearby Magdalen isn't it ?

[@jonathanpyle1807]

Not really, merton is south, magdalen is east

[@bentownsend4017]

True but it's also nearby
