a REALISTIC day in my life at Cambridge University (in the lab)

What's it like to study at the University of Cambridge?
Here's a REALISTIC day in the life of me, a Biology Master's student at Jesus College.

🙋‍♂️ About me:
I'm a student at the University of Cambridge who studied Natural Sciences and now an MPhil in biology, and I make videos that can help you with studying and applying to universities such as Oxbridge.

👨‍🏫 I also offer tutoring for subjects including biology, chemistry, maths as well as the NSAA (Natural Sciences entrance exam). Get in touch via website.

My tech + more:

My shooting gear:

A-level revision books I used (check the examboard):

dude this was by far the realest day in my life i've ever seen. Where things are a mess, you suddenly crack the best jokes to make up for excuses to not have cleaned the room, envious of juniors' skills and talents, and being yourself. Nothing pretentious. Things shouldn't always have to be all aesthetic and nice. This was such a breath of fresh air.

I don't know how or why this was recommended to me, but I haven't laughed this much in a while. What an interesting research topic! Your sense of humor is gold.

Hey! Can't tell you how enteratining this video was on two accounts: firstly, your commentary and editing style is hilarious and I hope to see more of it but more importantly, it was very insightful, especially as I am (hopefully) starting my undergraduate degree for Biology at Oxford this October!

I still get that moment of illogical horror when I start an old centrifuge and it just starts clattering like there’s no tomorrow. Even though I know I balanced everything perfectly, I still sometimes get the irrational fear that it’ll just up and explode in my face

[MarioFabelo]

Really interesting to see your day-to-day, Ilya! I haven’t had Biology since Y9 and feel like I have learned a lot from this video! Biology looks cool ngl : o

Wow! This is so cool and amazingly realistic. Thanks for this! Going to Cambridge is my absolute dream and I can’t imagine how amazing it must be.

[aymz]

you gotta upload more day in the life videos bro! watching you do lab work really makes me want to study biology too, i hope i get into my dream uni.

[AllanLovezGaming]

Woah cool video! I just wanted to say that your editing is amazing and it's really engaging.

[ifunanyamolokwu]

Don’t know why this was recommended to me but it was amazing to watch! Really engaging, funny and interesting! -From a first year philosophy undergraduate at Cam who’s rarely interested in anything science lol

[jojomooc]

An upgrade from the stick insect video!
Jokes aside, great video, glad you’re back! :)

[SailingwithSharvani]

this commentary was so entertaining haha!

[tomoldaker]

Yeah actually a great video icl I hate when ppl do day in the life’s but it’s so fake I love how you’ve done it w the jokes and everything. Also love to see that ppl at oxbridge can be normal and have social lives that’s not something u see everyday

[lilmzlondon]

this is incredible thank you so much for sharing your stories

[namm-uoro]

Passing out while trying to work at night after three parties is literally so real

[MaximShvetsov]

Nice editing man! Interesting to watch!

[AceTac]

Ive been there and its massive! Its pretty cool to see right inside it!

[memoali]

Great video! i have PTSD from my undergrad biomed research project working with HeLa cells haha. I'm now in biomedical engineering for my masters.

[Gabrielowns]

I did my bsc in biology and decided to avoid wet lab for masters so I’m now doing bioinformatics. Interesting to see wet lab life, also funny cos I also climb after uni

[TashaPeak]

"Well anyway, my cells look leng!" LMAO!
