Come along with me for my first week at the University of Oxford as a visiting student studying politics!

As someone who struggles in school.. i will always respect a students ability to focus and concentrate both in class and on assignments. All while getting exceptional grades.
ADHD?
@@kv4648 naww not everyone struggling to focus has adhd. there are so many other reasons you may lack focus
@♡︎ Elixter..! [Main] me too
nah its just an asian thing to be that good
@@kv4648 for me yes
is nobody going to talk about how she got accepted to cornell AND oxford? thats really impressive!
ik right
not rlly if you get good grades youre more likely to get into both
@@Spookzydrawsif it was just “good grades” so many more people would have gotten in by now lol. they want so much more than that
@@0seunggf ok but people who get into one are likely to get into the other because they look for the same thing
@@Spookzydrawsthat doesn’t make it any less impressive!!
As someone who's lived in Oxford their whole life and doesn't appreciate it, it's nice seeing other people appreciate its beauty! enjoy your studies!!
really ive traveled there and i thought it was amazing.
@@J0k3rz Moving Into College to go and study more lies, as the whole school system is created by masons. To all who say that they believe all religions and therefore support all narritives of life: Then you all allowing yourselve to be deceived and that willingly: Bible warns and reminds us: BE NOT DECEIVED! Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 1 Corinthians 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. Ezekiel 14:9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. Proverbs 20:1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. Luke 21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. Question the narrative, seek out the real deal aka answers/information and then decide to believe or not to. The Truth About Love - IT JUDGE, ALWAYS JUDGE and righteously thereof.
I’ve lived in Oxford for 9yrs and it is the best!
Why?
I didn't enjoy it here as well. I can feel you
all the architechture, the surrounding, the atmosphere is so sound and charming they give me the harry potter vibes🌈✨
Parts of hogwarts were actually filmed at oxford University. That might be why😅
@@crusader8626 Naah!! it was Harvard University as i recall l.
@@suryaverma2082 it was filmed at the Christ Church college in Oxford uni. The films were all filmed in the uk
@@crusader8626 Ohh thanks letting me know ✌️
There are lots of places in Oxford where Harry Potter scenes were filmed! I've been there and it it so worth it! The whole city gives you Harry Potter feelings and as I remember correctly, most of the film settings are for free visit and not as crowded as you would believe them to be. :)
As someone who lives in London, I've never seen Oxford but seeing how it looks, my heart feels all warmed up. I love seeing people having fun over here because I mostly see American college vlogs. I hope you are having a great time and living your dream happily. If you're staying here over the summer I suggest going to Central London and going on the London Eye. I'm already in love with your vlogs!! Definitely subscribing!
oxford is a different city to london lmao
Aww thank u so much! I will def have to go on the London Eye at least once haha
omg the london eye is amazing the view is SO cool but i waited ages to go on it but it was ALL worth it
@@akos5063 I know. I said I've never seen oxford, I know it's a different city. I was saying it makes my heart all warmed up because it shows a really beautiful side of England, especially since I've never been to Oxford
@@axngie1867 that makes sense, I guess
I love how you aren’t scared to move on to new opportunities and pursue learning it’s so inspiring !
I can't believe this is your first video, it's very calming, comforting and feels like spending a day with a friend. Your editing really conveys the excitement and suspense of a new start in a new place. I wish you a lot of joy and valueable experiences on your journey. Seeing you finding friends and having fun really makes me happy and motivates me to maybe be make more bold choices that may take you out of your comfort zone or what you've been used to😊
its not. she's on douyin. She's second rich, her parents bought her way into this school.
@@usapanda7303she’s literally smarter than you can ever be?
@@whrs I would bet you everything I have that she isn’t 😂😂😂
It's amazing how you are able/ lucky enough to find friends so quickly. Here in my college, most of my classmates seem to lack friendliness
Finally someone who’s documenting Oxford the way it’s supposed to be. X
spitting factsss !!
my dark academia self is absolutely in love :D the editing is so amazing!
Absolutelyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!
I can’t believe this is your first video on this channel! Your editing is soooo good and the video itself is very calming to watch ❤ I wanted to travel abroad to London during my junior year of college, but it never happened :( I’m living through you despite being in my senior year now 😊 I can’t wait to see what else you’ll post!! Edit: oh wow, I wasn't expect this to be my first 1k likes on youtube! Thank you
Thank u so much!! Hopefully ull get the chance to travel to London soon
You sounded like an very informative journalist !!
@@roshawn6928 :o Thank you!! I do have to speak well since I'm majoring in advertising and public relations!!
@@jingsuuu Pastor please pray for the release of curses and magic. Please pray to facilitate the brain and be given intelligence. Please pray to get rid of the disease in the body. Please pray for smooth finances and be given wealth.
WAIT NO WAY i assumed this channel had been here for a while, this video is so good!! @jing you're honestly making me inspired to go to oxford all over again. like i'm sitting here gaping at my laptop, the buildings look so beautiful :')
i love how the section on your first two years of college is such a rollercoaster, it's honestly inspiring how you show change, or even turbulence, is not a bad thing; in fact, it's an opportunity for new exciting events to enter your life. love your vlogs so please keep making them 💖💖
Tips for studying and improving grades in case you also wanna go into a good uni or college: 1. Take notes while in class (make sure your writing is neat and clean to understand it clearly). 2. Review your notes and past test papers multiple times everyday, and then test yourself. 3. Watch videos related to what your struggling with recommend doing and/or learning the basics, before getting to the hard part. 4. Say positive affirmations to not bring your hope and confidence down, remember your grades doesn't define who you are it defines your potential and knowledge throughout the class years. 5. This is just extra but study with the smart person in class so that you can ask questions and for help, depends if they are nice enough and don't forget to tell them about your grades and struggles so they take you seriously.

This is such an amazing vlog and i’m surprised to see it’s your very first one! It’s only so inspiring to me, and it gives me the right push to finish with my applications. As someone’s who’s 19 and just starting university, seeing someone who’s my age yet already starting their junior year is insane. Much respect & admiration!
Can’t tell you how much I’m proud of you. We met many years ago, but ever since then you’ve grown into this amazing young woman. I am so proud to see you succeeding and being the person you’re becoming. Good job, Jing!
I went to UCLA for my master degree and had a fab time there. Now sitting on my office table and after seeing morning patients, I truly enjoy your Univlog. It is so refreshing to see a goal-oriented young lady and chase your dream. I wish you all the best and experiencing life! And yes, thank yourself and parents daily for doing the right things! 👏👏👏
your life goal of being a doctor has been reached, how can you not be refreshed just by that alone??
omg you're so good at storytelling!! loved this video so much 🥰 and can't wait to see the rest of your journey at oxford!
thank u!! that means so much to me

@@jingsuuu That Was So Nice!
I love these kind of vibes, following you instantly! I can't believe this is your first video, you did so good at editing. I can't wait to see all that you have to show ♥

Wish you the best life possible
Thanks for this great video - very generous ! It was good to get a vicarious first week in Oxford and made me reflect on university days in England. Thanks again!
i’m 25 now, having studied a degree and masters at different uni’s. both of them were awful and i never got to have the ‘university’ experience, so i love watching vlogs like this and living vicariously through other people haha. absolutely amazing vlog, congrats on getting so many views and subs on your first vid!🤩❤️
Omg this is so me
Would you like to be friends?
Which universities did you not like?
This was so lovely to watch. Can’t wait for more, need that aesthetic study inspo!
Thank u so much!! More study videos to come hehe
was that you with her in the boat?
@@RaiTechGaming I wish
@@madpixie1000 aawww, you looked like her, but you have glasses like me
i've been a silent viewer for a while, but i'm going to Oxford soon (as a tourist) and i can't stop rewatching your videos, they're so calming and both inspiring for my short trip there! you were so lucky to have the opportunity to study there!
I have similar experience with going to 3 colleges in 3 years. I am studying uni at Hong Kong, then went to exchange at Singapore and the United States. Wonderful experience to see all the school cultures! Glad you are enjoying your life abroad!
i’m surprised this is your first video! the editing skills are so freaking amazing☺️ can’t wait for some more vlogs. good luck at studying!!
thank u so much! I really appreciate it
as someone who has been thinking of college as early as 6th grade, oxford and yale are definitely my dream schools. ive always wanted to see what oxford was like, so this video helps a lot. my parents went to amazing colleges (including yale), so i inspire to follow their path. at the same time, traveling and living somewhere else would be a dream. so when i apply for college, i will apply for oxford because of research and videos like this. thanks a lot! ☺️

As a londoner and someone who has been to oxford, it felt quite refreshing and inspiring to watch a video in a place I remember being, from the book shop to the cafe! I'm so used to watching vids set in America, I love this.
London is my favorite (and in my opinion the best) city in the world. Oxford is so beautiful, I think you captured it amazingly. I loved this video. I also think it is so neat that you’ve wanted to make the most of your college experience and try different schools. What a great idea.
The fact that u made friends in the time span of the first day u were there is amusing to me,as well as ur hard work and patience especially while changing so many schools.I’m sure you’ll go a far way!
Really good to watch. I 'm sure you now realize what a privilege it is to study at Oxford, one of the most famous and prestigious universities in the world. You'll remember it all your life! Study hard, have fun and stay safe and humble.
so lovely! i’m so happy for you that it’s your first vlog and that it got so much views 😮❤
Omg i just finished watching your last vlog and found out this is a new channel! Subscribed for more content ❤ perfect balance of talking and no talking shots and such unique outings. I'm already inspired to do something fun this week
As an Indian student (11th grader) who is willing to study abroad, I'm really very motivated by your vlog! Thanks❤
Same here!! I am an 11th grader from Mexico.
So, mid term ke exams kese jare hain..!
bestie!!!! Which state are you from?
I can't believe it's already been six months! I remember falling in love with the aesthetic immediately.
seeing you live my dream by believe in yourself gives me more motivation to believe in myself more im very young i know but my goal is to be in oxford its been my dream and you really give me hope ❤
aa! you deserve a million subscribers! Oxford has always been my dream. I'm so grateful that i get to feel like i've experienced it! I hope that you enjoy it!
This was lovely❤ I'm hoping to be at Oxford myself next year and this made me feel like I was already there
As someone who's British, I'm glad that you came here and you are enjoying it. :) Hope you have fun here, and congrats on getting in!

I've also recently moved from America to England, though not for school, and I can vouch for the superiority of British berries. ;) I'm already in love ❤ with your channel and Oxford from just this one video. you're are a natural on camera and your editing skills are amazing. Can't wait to see more vlogs, and I'll definitely be liking and subscribing!

I had the opportunity to study at Oxford this summer and absolutely loved the school and city. How lucky you are to spend an entire year there! I highly recommend checking out Shezan for great Indian food and Thaikhun for Thai, they were two of my favorite places to eat :)
Absolutely love the the vibe of the video. Hope you have a wonderful year at Oxford
Aww thank u so much! I really appreciate it
enjoy a lot watching your video and London that your camera take! Calm, relaxing, and chilly. Can’t wait to see your next shot!

you adjusted so well, smoothly and easily according to me and it shocked meee omg
Coming back here after watching the last episode of oxford diaries is so refreshing...
I’m so happy that you are enjoying it at Oxford! My school is taking some of us to the Lady Margret hall soon for a chance to look around and I am super excited!
Your vlogs inspired me to learn and be happy 💕💕
Ahh thank you for filming and making this video! I studied at the Oxford Brookes Uni and been missing Oxford so much! Seeing the roads, buildings, bridges, cafe brought so many fond memories. Watching this really warms my heart :) All the best in your studies and I will keep watching your videos :D
太酷啦！知道自己想要什么并且努力地争取，真的很勇敢！
It gives this old warm castle vibe! I love it
I felt the cosines and even though I watched your videos for the first time, I’m happy for you. I hope I can spend at least a year in Oxford too. I wish you a big success in your career.
Seus vídeos são tão bons e trazem uma sensação tão reconfortante ☺️ vou acompanhar todos
ahhh this vlog made it to my KZhead recommendations (I'm based in Spain). A storyteller, everyone! Can't wait to watch more of your videos.
your choice of music in the background love the vibe like a old soul experiencing new begining s and living life with no regret
dude...watching this video feels like a dream😭💗💕
Well done. Tuck shop is something a boarding school has in the UK and sometimes day schools. It is treat foods for children. A delicatesson (deli) is a general word for a shop selling things like sliced meats. The Tuck Shop on the video has just chosen that name as its own business/brand name. A dorm is a dormitory often in a UK boarding school. University does not have dorm rooms because students usually do not share a room with lots of others so it would just be called your "room". Enjoy Oxford. I have a relative there are present who is having a very good time.
I am in love with this vlog bestie, and the episode named '' Pilot '' was so cute. I cant wait for more vlogs aaa
omg THANK U BESTIE
the video and the intro gives such a cosy light macadamia vibe I love it!
So very peacefull, love the libraries. Wish you all the best for your work!
That's incredible. I usually look for short study inspo videos , that's how I got your channel, it's awesome. Appreciate the hardwork you put in it. But it would be good if the videos were under 10 mins. Just a thought, you're amazing by the way! ✨✨🦋
Wow! This is such a great video. You look like you're having such a fun time! 🎉🎉🎉
Wow! Thank u Vincent!!
this really made me want to go to colleges like these, thank you for sharing ur experience! hope you’ll have the best time there :) also I was shocked to hear a laufey song at the end ahhh
this is giving those korean cafe vibe videos and im living for it
I cant describe how good this vlog is 👌💚💚
Aww thank uuu
that library spot is insaneeee
I'm in love with your vlogs!!Definitely subscribe!
Enjoy it.. can't believe I'm 40 already. Time flies and those moments are one of a kind. Can't be replicated even in grad school lol.
I am an Oxford native. It's a beautiful city but the Westgate is our only modern attraction. The history, museums and art are sooo good though. I love the art cafe if you go you need to try the vanilla iced latte. Oxford is hella aesthetic too, very picture worthy and pretty close to London, btw I'm a student at Jesus college but I have lived here pretty much my entire life, since about three.
Omg I love your aesthetic! I have a friend who's also studying abroad rn, and I've always wanted to go to Europe, so this is literally my dream 🥺🥺
Awww thank you so much!
I hope you get to study abroad in Europe :)
me living in england and wanting to go nyc 😂
got to know both the 'town' side and the 'gown' side of Oxford. Such a difference in what it is like to actually live there, as opposed to student years. Enjoy your time in Oxford!
everything feels like a dream! i love it sm~
Reminds me of my days studying in London at Regent's University, I've been all over but never made it to Oxford and it's so beautiful, looking forward to more!
