i am so so so grateful for you, yes you! right now! reading this! you are amazing! have a great day! :)
📚 I just wanted to say thank you for this channel because I'm just entering year 11 and you've given me the power to feel a lot calmer about it!
Zoe Lambert I felt like that after she made it this time last year, year11 was actually really fun! just keep on top of everything and stay positive and you'll be fab :)
I agree. Stay positive and you'll be fine 😊 I've just uploaded a new video on my channel on how to prepare mentally for GCSE. Take a look!
you'll be at oxford or cambridge for real by next september (not to be pressurising or anything but what i mean to say is that you're 100% capable of getting in)
rainytae ARMY❤️❤️❤️😊
She actually studies at Oxford now
Omg watching this makes me miss Ox so much. I just graduated from Trinity and loved it so much. If you're applying, I cannot stress enough - think soooo carefully about which college you apply to, it totally shapes your experience :)
Floral Fantasy I wouldn't say it's about which is 'best'; it really depends what's important to you. They're all so different and vary in a number of factors E.g. Food, accommodation, location, grounds, academic life, reputation, architecture, sports, population, state school/private school, atmosphere etc. I would just say do your research :)
And when I say private/state school I just mean that some colleges tend to have more of a state/private population e.g. Wadham is known for being quite inclusive and diverse but that doesn't mean you can't apply anywhere you like
This is really weird to watch after knowing that you got into LMH and that your 1st year room is right beside the room that you stayed in!! Aghhhh
For people asking about summer schools try the Sutton trust, they have a summer school for a variety of unis for example I went to one for Warwick x
Oh my gosh I did UNIQ last year and watching this video made me so emotional I'm legit crying, I wish I could relive the summer school 100 times over 😢😢
EVE, CAN YOU PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON PERSONAL STATEMENTS PLEASE?? I know you maybe haven't fully completed yours but perhaps from the notes you made at UNIQ and make a tips for personal statement video, would really appreciate this!!
i have to ask, did you make friends there (and was it easy?) or were they people you knew already?
For anyone looking for summer schools that won't get into UNIQ or Sutton Trust: There are Debate Chamber summer schools in central London which are non selective but cost approx £450 (accommodation not included) for 5 days which isn't too bad for central London. The lessons were so interesting, the classes were quite small (15ish), I made lots of friends and most importantly I cannot stress how much I learnt! I did the economics summer school for beginners and it has really helped me with economics a level.
Your time at summer school looked amazing! This has really given me an insight to what summer school is like and has made me even more excited for my summer school in a couple of weeks. Thank you for uploading this and relieving some of my worries about summer school. :)
This is so weird to watch because I'm from Oxford!! And like seeing you walking round my streets is honestly mad😂😂
Heya, I met you in oxford aha on the Friday, and can I just say how pretty and lovely you are gahhhh, I recognised your eyeliner as I walked past I was like 'wait, there's the eyeliner that's getting me through Spanish gcse', glad you like the uni- it's the best ay ay xx
I also did UNIQ this year and it was THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. I am really encouraging everyone to do it next year. It also has encouraged me to apply to Oxford! Glad you enjoyed it x
Kiera Collins Hey is there mainly any grade requirements or any sort of requirements?
I'm hoping to apply for a UNIQ course next year, this video has made me even more interested in going! 💕
I was on a summer school/ doing work experience at the Physics department the same week you were there. I'm still buzzed and feeling very inspired to do a Physics degree (preferably at Oxford now)! I'm glad you had a great week too. P.S. I was making a video for the Physics department during the week so you might see that around soon...
This sounds like something I would be really interested in. Where did you find about it? :)
Keep an eye on this web address... www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/about-us/outreach/schools/work-experience
Moza Ackroyd Ok thanks! How was it?
No worries :)& Really really good. You should definitely apply for next years!
Moza Ackroyd I'm sorry if this is intrusive but what GCSES did you get? I'm worried I'm not gonna get into the uniq physics course 😭
You're so lucky, Oxford looks like such a lovely campus and this was really interesting to watch, I really love finding out and watching videos on stuff like this haha. I'm so happy you're back vlogging, I absolutely love your vlogs and I missed them !
LMH is SO beautiful. I was on UNIQ last year for lit but stayed in Queens, but applied to LMH and all going well on results day I'll be starting in October! So Nostalgic watching this hahah, was one of the best weeks everrr. Good luck with everything!! 💫💫💫
📚 snapchat fam!! Also can you please do a supplies haul for year 12 because I really don't know what to buy for year 12 x
I find out if Im on the 2018 programme tomorrow afternoon - I dont want to get my hopes up but Im so excited!!
As a student transitioning from year 11 to 12, I'm curiously wondering the process in applying for his week? How do you apply? When do you apply?
Scientific Revolutionary check UNIQs website, they have loads of info! The application is all online x
Alex Johnson how much does it cost?
Leya Ali free! They even reimbursed travel costs to Oxford, which was good as some people needed to get a plane in order to go to Oxford as they lived either Ireland or too far away to travel by train. (Well this was last year, I hope nothing has changed!) x
From what I can remember we all had to apply and get our applications in during January (which is like a practise for UCAS- you fill in your gcse grades and write a mini personal statement) and then we got back our results in march as to whether we were in or not.
I'd say apply for it not matter what happens, because it's such an amazing experience! Even if you don't get in just the application process is useful because it makes you feel less panicky about filling in UCAS in the summer. And like what's been said it's completely free, so why not apply? :)
Not sure why I am watching this considering I've just finished my final year of university, but hey ho! This looks like such an amazing experience! Definitely chase your dreams of studying languages, can't stress how important it is to study for a degree that you're passionate about and really enjoy!
Snap squad 📚 waiting since lunch :")) love your vlogs and your revision videos so much!!you inspire me to study ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes please do weekly vlogs 😩, I miss your vlogs so muchhhhh
📚 Yayayayayay love vlogs that are a whole week! Pleeeeaaassseeee do more like this throughout summer!:)))x
Omg i remember watching lolarent in like year 8 in german and the music as she runs everywhere is still stuck in my head 5 years later
📚, love your vlogs & videos; they're so interesting and helpful so thank you ❤
OMG EVE where did you get your yellow flowery trousers from? X
What kinds of things did they tell you in the personal statement and interview talks? I'm so stuck about how to write my personal statement :(
So, are you going to apply for Oxford or Cambridge next year and what was the main selling point? Would you say the summer school was useful in helping you decide?
Also, glad you had a great time :D I want to go on the UNIQ program for sure after seeing this.
(I came from snapchat xD)
This is so cool omg! I'm going into year 11 and I went to an Oxford Pathways day last year and I loved itttt! Have you decided on Spanish with German or English yet?💗
Hey Eve, great video! Are you definitely applying to Oxford instead of Cambridge then?? And for which course? This looked so fun! x
Now I'm devastated I missed the application deadline😢
"There was some weird guy on the escalator." Aha Eve I love you, glad you had a nice time! Xx
Wow that looks brilliant! Oxford has to be one of my fave places, love it so much x
Glad you had such a good time! This video is bringing back so many memories from my time at UNIQ last year. And I absolutely love the maths institute, it's just so beautiful.
Where are the yellow trousers from day 1 from? They're amazing! X
I am actually living on this channel atm because I live in Ireland and I'm in 3rd Year (Year 10) but I have my first set of state exams in June and I'm doomed
I always find it so strange watching vlogs in Oxford as I'm from there 😂
Im attending this summer school for geography next week, I hope I have as much as an amazing time as you ❤️
rah oxford has moneyyy 😂😂
Omg that looks amazing! I really enjoyed this video, could you possibly do a video on how you got into uniq and the application process/your advice/what you did x
Loved the video!! Your makeup is always so on point 😭👌🏻 could you possibly film a makeup tutorial on the makeup you wore in Day 1? 💗😚
📚So will you be applying for Oxford? How are you finding the UCAS process and how is your personal statement coming along? All the best Eve xx (we are all going through the same stressful decisions😩)
EVE BENNETT WHERE ARE THOSE TROUSERS FROM? I need them in my life
📚 this looks amazing omg!! saw your stress about choosing a degree on twitter, i'd say you should go with your gut; what you think you'd enjoy more! correct me if i'm wrong, but since you've previously said that english is your fav a level and that you're not much of a big fan of german lit, it seems as if you'd enjoy spanish and english more (although i may be biased because i want to do french and english) xxxx
This video has been really helpful since I'm leaving for UNIQ on Sunday to do experimental psychology and I was really nervous but this has helped me feel bit more at ease so thank you 😊
This is reminding me of when I did uniq last year! Best week of my life! You guys got to do a lot more than we did- we didn't get to experience rowing (unfortunately) or have a tutorial, and we only got £5 for lunch (Taylor's is the best right?!)! But we had 2 formal dinners and had a bop in a nightclub! Your week looked like it was a lot of fun though. Best of luck in applying :D
I'd love to do this but I'm defo not smart enough to go to oxford or Cambridge 😂😂😂
I’m going to the summer school this year and i am super super nervous! I didn’t really know what to expect but this video has given me some sort of idea... oh gosh i am such an introvert!! Its like 6 months away but i am still vv nervous!!
Me too! Which week are you on?
Hi Eve, loved this vlog by the way! I just wanted to ask you a quick question. Did you do any work/revision in the summer holidays leading up to year 11? And if so how much? Because I'm getting paranoid and feel like I should be doing more, but I don't want to get too stressed and start filling up the time when we're meant to have a rest worrying and cramming things into my brain. Thanks!🙃
+Jasmine Blackwell I did legit nothing at all I just read young adult books and played sims haha
Revision With Eve ok good, thank you!
Jasmine Blackwell Keep in mind her GCSE's were VERY different from yours. The new GCSE's have more content and more difficult content, so if you're aiming for 8 and 9's, definitely do review your notes.
Zahra xx yeah that's a good point, I was thinking of doing about half an hour a day of looking through my notes and just checking I was up to date with everything we've learnt so far :)
My friend went to this Summer School and told me all about watching Love Island outside! That's so cool, maybe you met each other :)
Ibz won't be happy lmao
Please could you do a video about the admissions stuff you learnt? Like especially personal statements because I'm really stuck 🙈😊
Oooh, I really liked your video! I'm at Univ and have never actually had a chance to go to LMH. Looks like you had such a brill week. It's like you got a taster of a college bop at the end tbh :P I wanted to ask you, how do you feel about Oxford after the week? Do you think it's informed your choice to apply to Oxford?
Hey Eve! I went to Uniq week 3 and I couldn't agree more about how life changing it was! I really enjoyed this vlog and it brought back so many amazing memories of the week :) x
Can you please do a video on personal statement!! Would be so helpful ❣️
Me and a bunch of friends applied to do this when we were in year 12 and none of us got accepted, even those predicted top grades, so well done! It's so hard to get into
YESSS I WAS A PART OF WEEK 1 UNIQ! Best time ever📚📚📚
Romana A what course were you on it for?
Did you meet people that had less than the 8a* requirement but had really good personal statements. Because I'm starting as September and i don't think im gonna get exactly 8
📚 been watching for 2 years now, still love your videos as much as I did from the very start (if not more!- lovvveee revision videos) x
I live in Oxford so this is so weird to watch you walking around town haha!
could you PLEASE do a binder organization video ..TIA💙
📚 Was one of the best weeks of my life, glad you thought so too!! It's a gorg place, and the people were fab!! I really miss it watching this back, nice to meet ya!! 💛
I really want to go to this summer school when I can! Looks great!
I say this summer school, I mean one of the science ones because I don't study German 😂
that was the maths institute at the end, i did a UKMT maths challenge there last year :)
I love her accent omg 😍😍😍
I live in oxford.. it's funny watching you there wish I could've seen you ❤️
I loved the vlog but next vlog u don't need to put the music on in the background throughout the video ❤️
Little did you know just over a year later you would be moving in for real just next door 😂💗
weird Q maybe, but where did you get your pants? They're all kinds of rad
I live in oxforddd, wish I bumped into you! Glad u had a fab time!❤️
I've missed these so michhhh ❤🙈❤💗
Ibz be like 'I literally just done a collab video with you and this is how you betray me?' 'Oh my lorrrd!' 😂😭😂😭😂😂😂
This honestly looks like so much fun!
So jealous! I did UNIQ last year, and it was amazing, glad you had a good time! Xx
hi i’m going to uniq in like two days, how big of a suitcase did you take? i’ve got like pretty big one so i’m wondering whether i should buy a smaller one aha
Could you make a video on writing a personal statement please?? It would be extremely useful
Do you have to go to a school in the special postcode areas or will they also let in other applicants? Loved the look of it xxx
Charlotte Gould hey I went on this too and it's mainly aimed at people who are unlikely to go to uni so the places with poorer post codes. GCSEs are also important as they look for a*s
+Steph Thank you! I do go to a state school and will hopefully get the GCSEs they are after but maybe I'll have to look into other summer schools because of my area xxx
Charlotte Gould I think it depends quite heavily on where you live, I go to a state school and had straight A*s at GCSE and didn't get in, but my area was shown as being in the most affluent category
I'm probably in the same situation as you then! Xxx
📚, please do a QnA and more vlogs; I love your vlogs!!
Hi Eve! Loved all your videos for year 11. Btw, where did you get your clear pencil case from because it's super cute and larger than most normal clear ones?? xx
Excellent video. Very helpful for those think about Uni next year. (Currently in yr11 going into yr12).
I wish I could do this but they don't allow students from private schools😭
Tintin Jade that's a shame! It should be inclusive.
Miss Cole the reason it isn't exclusive is because it is aimed at students that aren't likely to be able to get one of these opportunities because of financial reasons! That's why they only let state school into the course :)
Anyone know if you're allowed in if you're from a grammar school?
Iris Blake yeah you are because they count as state schools
Summer school looked so fun I'm jealous. 😂 💜
Ik this is completely out of context of this video but when is the book review video coming for 1984.
They're doing an oxford tour at my school, I really want to get in
Subscribed, you collabed with Ibz as well!! Anyway, I was at UNIQ as well on the same week as you doing psychology. Can't believe I missed you. So will you be applying to Oxford or Cambridge?
Hey Eve, what book are you studying for Spanish? I'm doing Como Agua Para Chocolate, and I hope it's good :)
You look like you had such a good time!
If you applied to oxford which college would u choose and what would u study? It looks so cool
Looks like such an amazing opportunity! Glad you enjoyed it :D
Went to sommerville today at oxford!! would love to go to oxford and glad you enjoyed your time 💗💗💗
Hey eve, from sc!!! When will the berlin vlogs be out?? I'm so excited to visit berlin at the end of August before year 12 😦😂. Any places u enjoyed the most? Xx
You're honestly such an inspiration💗
I went on UNIQ last year and honestly was the best week of my life!!!!
What career are you working towards?
Yay! I have been waiting for this xxx
📚📚 love your videos!!
Where is your pencil case from- the clear one with the pink zip? Xx
Molly-Ann Burnett I second this!! I need this pencil case in my life
Molly-Ann Burnett it's from Sainsbury xx
I'm not sure if it's the same one but Asda do one too
Love your videos so much, youre my fave youtuber, sc fam 📚📚❤❤
I'm going into year 10 after summer and I'm nervous about starting GCSE's and I don't know how to keep my motivation up and how to keep improving
leah hull SAME X
ellie baty glad I'm not the only one 😩xx
honestly don't worry, year 10 is so easy compared to year 11 xx
You’re fine but make sure you concentrate for the whole year and year 11 literally 2 more years get as many A* (8s) as you can. It will be worth it and you can enjoy ur summer holidays. I’m in Year 13 right now and got an offer at Cambridge uni for medicine and I messed about until year 9 and just put my head down at the start of year 10 just do the same and you’ll be fine
This is nice to watch as I live in Oxford
📚 I recently went to a summer school too, but mine wasn't as academic as yours. It's weird to see how different universities run their summer schools. :)) Great video, keep up the good work!
Food - Weep - Translate - Repeat ... it's Eve LOL
Anyone know anything about the linguistics uniq week they offer? Would love to apply to that but I very much doubt my GCSE grades will be up to the standard you need to get on the course - the linguistics uniq week this year only had ten places I think :(
