Long time no see... uni work really built up in the last few weeks, so I've only just managed to finish editing this video in 8th week(even though I filmed it in 6th week), but I hope you enjoy it nevertheless. Lockdown has meant we are obviously limited in what we can do, but most of the university buildings/ libraries are still open to students, which is great for those of us who appreciate the dark academia *aesthetic*, and we can still meet one person from another household outside for takeaway food/ hot drinks, although I am looking forward to group gatherings again-bring on Hilary term!

Hello everyone! My name is Sabrina, and I am starting my first year reading Classics at the University of Oxford in October.
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. :)

Habete bonum diem!
kudos for loving the dark academia aesthetic and finding yourself at oxford!
I think I'd be on the floor if I took a shot every time you said Dark Academia 💀💀💀 looks like so much fun though!!! (and if I do get in for next year.... I officially sign up for your revival of the dead poet's society 😉)
Hahahahaha can you tell I’m a bit obsessed... I need to stop making it my only personality trait 🥴(and I am very happy t have you join the soc)
More vlogs please 🙇♂️ I really want to study Classics at Oxford and your videos are a great motivation.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Unfortunately I am currently at home for this term because of English lockdown rules (hence no vlogs because they would be very boring), but hopefully I can film some more next term!
I flipping want to be a classics UA-camr, living vicariously through you!! Also the Greek class shoutout😍
Thank you so much-you should go for it! I would definitely be watching ;)
What Greek textbook is it?
Yessssss!!!! Loved the video!!:)
Just watched this Sabrina - absolutely amazing video and I loved featuring!! Hilary link up? ;)
If I may ask, what book are you using for greek?
How come you’re studying Ancient Greek?
It's a compulsory part of my uni course, so I can learn to read ancient texts first-hand (there's a lot of detail you can miss if you only read a translation)-also pretty useful if I ever in the future want to help decipher the 1000s of pieces of ancient fragments that remain waiting to be translated in museum archives.
@@sabrinatheclassicist sounds fascinating to me!! I’m studying Ancient Greek in my uni and it is compulsory as Greek stems from in a way from ancient Greek
bruh there are so many videos like this that are already made but 10 times better
if you don’t like it, move on. no need to be horrible online.
@@user-ll2pp2jc4h if you think that's horrible, you're in for a fucking world of a suprise. Don't get it twisted this man's a prick just that it seems like nothing.
Ugh men, always rude for no reason
Straight into the bin with you bro. This is a great video. I loved it. You're the best Sabrina!
