As the first week of Michaelmas/ Winter term fast approaches (next week!), I thought that for today's video (whilst I finish editing Athens Vlog 2 and try to get through my mock exams), I would run through some of my personal top tips and advice for all the new students starting at Oxford this year and in the future. Rather than focusing on giving generic advice about starting university as a fresher (there are already so many other great university advice videos out there!), this video is deliberately niche and specific, with the hope that it will cover some points that are usually missed out when talking about starting at Oxbridge.
If you find this video helpful/have any more specific questions about starting at Oxford please let me know down below!

Hello everyone! My name is Sabrina, and I am in my 4th year reading Classics at the University of Oxford.
Following in the giant footsteps of Ibz Mo, Viola Helen, Vee, Eve Bennett and Sam from the legendary Oxcentric channel, I aim to help demystify Oxbridge and its application process, broaden access for Classics/Ancient History/related subjects and have fun documenting my university experience!
Feel free to subscribe and join me on my university journey. :)

Always nice to watch your videos in preparation to advise my kids (5 and 0.8 YO😅) when the time comes
this was super helpful! also surreal to go from watching all your application advice videos last year to this now lol
That's awesome! Congratulations on your offer, I hope you have an amazing first year!
Salve Sabrina! I love your channel and you’ve actually inspired me to learn Latin properly after dipping in and out casually for many years. I’m enjoying Duolingo and using other books and resources to self-teach. I wondered on your opinion of Duolingo as a friend of mine completed it and said he was disappointed that it only covered the present tense and found it limited?
I imagine you must be very busy in your final year but I do so enjoy your videos and hope you are planning on continuing to make them? Jay 😊
In a future video, could you do a walkthrough Study-with-me video on how you read a translation (Greek preferred) in preparation for next day tutorials?
In other words, when preparing for a session going over a translation passaged you are assigned to cover, how do you prepare? Do you write the whole text down word per word or just a gloss of the meaning or ____?
Thanks.
