    Your video about CERN was really well put together, nice and simple Just thought I'd let you know

    Could you do a video dismissing all of the stereotypes people get about Oxford? I know you've hinted at them in previous videos (like the interview one) but I thought it'd be a nice thing to talk about :yes:

    Thanks

    And cool, do you have any myths in particular you would like me to dispel/look into?

    I once heard that everyone in Oxford speaks latin...

    A lot of the general ones like:

    1) everyone is stuck up therefore I won't fit in
    2) it's full to the brim of private school pupils (which is a poor generalisation which links to being stuck up)
    3) It'd be impossible to afford it

    Those sort of things.

    Then there are the weirder ones like throwing bricks out of windows to impress examiners :lol:

    sorry, I thought I had a lot more... I don't know where they've all gone :dontknow: maybe you could ask your friends what they thought Oxford would be like before joining.

    Keep up the good work

    Maybe, talk about the negatives of Oxbridge... ie the high work load pressure etc.

    If your A levels were better than expected, apply if you weren't before! You have nothing to lose.
