Thank you so much for all the videos you make! My son applied to Somerville, got reallocated to Christ Church for interview. Then he got an open offer underwritten by Worcester. He's now in his second year at Jesus. He jokes that "no-one really wanted me" but his admissions process was an object lesson in not getting too attached to any college. Of course he really likes Jesus and has met his tribe. And watching all your videos reassures me that he is in a good place!

This is so detailed and comprehensive, thank you! Would be great if you could make a similar video re postgraduate colleges or at least specify what is the difference between graduate and postgraduate colleges. Many thanks again!

I think, I really shouldn't get my hopes up by watching so many videos about Oxford... xD :'(

[timwright]

These videos are so helpful. Thank you for making everything so accessible and friendly.

Thank you so much, for your outstanding help in all regards and matters. It is so helpful and appreciated, I could not imagine going into my application process next year without having watched your videos on the university and admissions and applications process. Greetings from Somerset/Germany!

[EverWonderWhy]

Really interesting. Maybe you could do one for the graduate colleges?

My Grandad and Mum both went to Oxford Trinity... I am subsequently devastated that it, due to not being in America, doesn't give me any advantage. xD

As an American who’s watched a lot of admissions material from OxBridge, I’m always struck by the degree of class insecurity that is assumed to exist among UK applicants.

Having attended an Ivy League college here (way back in the 1980s), which always do admit a fair number of kids from expensive US prep schools, and coming from a public high school myself, I felt no such intimidation toward my “posh” classmates.

Frankly, it’s sad to me that such an outdated and meaningless class consciousness still exists over there. In the US, 40 years ago, we really did assume that an individual can be whatever they want to be.

Although currently, the US left is trying its hardest to shove everyone back into the old intersectional categories, while the right is trying to fascistically dictate who qualifies as a “true” American.

Our Founding Fathers were right, that it was the individual who counts, and who is fully capable of determining his/her own character and destiny, if simply allowed to do so.

I applaud OxBridge for honoring each student’s individuality, and striving to provide them with the resources to realize their own unique potential.

Thanks a bunch. This is very helpful Sir

[dhivyasivanesan]

Please do a similar video for graduate colleges! Thank you for your contributions.

[andybarton]

St Edmund Hall is mostly called Teddy Hall … 🥳

[willbanyard]

Thanks for the video, an amazing introduction to the colleges! I’m in the midst of applying to a biochemistry based DPhil at Oxford and wondered how colleges come into these kinds of postgraduate studies is there any more sources you could recommend?

[ranaDrakibul]

Incredible video. Beautiful presentation. Can international students (south east Asia) apply as mature student?

I hope to study psychology here one day

[felixreid]

How can I access the college facilities page, it won't let me log in to view it. Do I need a certain type of email address?

[timosler]

Can I get access to the Google Earth college listing please?

[SyamilahHeng]

Why isn't there St Stephen's House Hall?

[dori]

✨Much appreciated for this✨when you say the accommodations are mixed does that mean you have to also live in dorms with a mixed group?

[seanhallahan]

This is a spectacularly awesome and helpful video. I've subscribed. I'll be visiting late summer. Is it possible please to get permission to view your Google Earth presentation? Thank you, so much in advance, regarding my request. Best & cheers, Sean

Although all colleges teach all, is there usually a larger pool of people of one specific topic, do they often band subjects together if they can? thanks.
