Ibz Mo Oxbridge is definitely reallyyyyyyyy good mainly cus of the people that go there, drawn to it cus of the hype it has, especially due its history and prestige. But for me, I'd say it's overrated but still great. Just what i feel, coming from a college student.

or how its super idolized so people who don't have the ability to go would feel eh

@Sanjith Hegde I've heard someone say that sadly

I agree. I was one of em

@Sanjith Hegde Only the people who haven't been to university say that. Once you graduate you're just like everyone else, except those with powerful networks. The difference is that Oxford has smarter people to network with so they're more likely to have economically valuable skills.

Sorry, but I didn't understand what do you mean with anyone can do. Do you think thaht also poor people can go and study at that kind of universitiy?

Saida Azzaoui Yes, of course

@@JayJay-np5dv I' m pretty courius about that, sorry if I borther you, but how can poor people go to study at Oxford or Cambridge? How they can make it possible?

@@justarandomname7217 Financial support is available to low income students. www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/fees-and-finance/financial-support

Saida Azzaoui It really depends on your situation but I'm sure the financial aid is there! I doubt they'd ever want to turn any great minds away📚🎓

the way I'm doing the same exact thing right now

or put some kind of image and upload as a voice over

He has already done one. Good luck!

It's just a podcast so visuals aren't too important. People a more comfortable if the camera insta in their face

Oh shit I’m not.

To be fair, sometimes it does grind my gear when people say "Its good when you go to a good Uni because it makes you even more likely to get hired by employers" yeah graduating from either an Oxbridge Uni or a Russial group one is nice and leaves you a good impression, but why should it be different from those ordinary Uni's, Uni's shouldn't have a class to them just because they have higher or lower entry requirements than each other, it still is a Uni at the end of the day, why should it be addressed in a way that all the russial group uni's be known as the superior ones with all the intelligent people, it would annoy me to think employers will reject someone for a job just because they may have not gone to a good Uni A friend of mine sparked this frame in mind which I thought was quite interesting, he said "Although the younger generation may be getting smarter, they may not be as successful compared to the older generation" I feel like in some way society is now putting more pressure on children to do well in their GCSE's like I see at my school kids from year 7-11 are now doing after school sessions to improve in their subjects and now get helpful resources like Hegarty Maths, I feel like yes it is important to strive for the good grades, but kids now are not getting an insight to the working life enough now since it is all focussing on academia right now. It feels as if they are robots and they are being assigned to do only this one task and that is to get 9's and 8's I think when it comes to the working world, it's your passion and commitment into getting into that job and how much you are willing to work for it and how hard you work that matters rather than your GCSE's, yeah it is good that you come out with 9's 8's and 7's, but how is that going to determine whether are you going to do well in that job, you may have the knowledge, but the practical skills matter more than a paper of numbers that somehow label you as a person. Sorry that this is so long, when it comes to these type of topics, I really love to vent about these. There is so much more I want to say, but this will do for the time being

@@harrietho8336 I really don't think many employers will look at your education to determine how knowledgeable you are. Education helps to show that you are a hard worker and how well you can learn/ understand new skills. Employers like it if you have a degree from a Russel Group University as those universities have to have a certain standard of work rate to be a part of the group, so graduating from one shows you are a hard worker. Yes, some people may be harder workers than Russel Group graduates, but that's harder for employers to see.

Harriet Ho my thoughts exactly

Callum Clear you got a point I understand but I still think everyone could be working just as hard as eachother and the uni’s with a better name will likely get recognised.

Callum Clear Yeah, I understand. Sometimes I believe that whether you are a graduate at a Russel group or not, it still determines that everyone has worked hard to get to that point. Yeah I get that the difference is the work load you get between oxbridge, Russel group and the ordinary uni's, but still we would of all worked hard despite that. I don't know tbh I'm just saying what I think, I'm only in year 13 and haven't experienced uni life yet

did you get in?!

this year?

yeaaaaa bc I'm an American student and want to go there one day

Yeah, I felt a bit uncomfortable when Ibz said that Oxbridge students work harder. I know they do to an extent but that's because of the (ridiculously short) 8 week terms, but I don't think its fair to imply that other students at other universities have an easy life. I'm applying for Oxford - good luck in your Cambridge application!

louise riley good luck to you too!
