Can you confirm or deny my suspicion that Henry is actually a time traveller from the Victorian era who stumbled upon a portal whilst exploring a tomb in Egypt, and has now befriended a group of physics students in the hope that they can help him return home? ;)
You do like to fantasise don't you?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAA THIS IS THE BEST COMMENT I'VE EVER SEEN AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAHH
I was thinking the same thing oh my goodness
Lol
Will is so chilled about everything😂
Respect to Ella for not giving up after hearing so much negativity about her interest in physics.
You mean criticism that was probably warranted? Just because something works out doesn't mean it was the right decision. Those teachers likely have seen 10 similar situations in which the person failed to get in and ruined their chances for their uni of choice, give them a little bit of a break.
@Michael-mh2tw Nobody knows for sure. If you feel strongly about something despite the negativity, you should try. No such thing as ruin your chance of a uni places. We have many years to live and the universities will still be there. Try it again next year if you make a mistake. I started doing a math degree at nearly 50.
@@Michael-mh2tw Who says it was? 10 other similar situations doesn't make the 11th the same. Teachers need to do better and not get away with negativity so much. They are really ruining dreams for what? Some people would give up while clearly they could have made it. Always believe in yourself, and don't listen to negative teachers who tell you not to do stuff.
Henry is an A-class legend
...who now has his own CZcams channel! czcams.com/channels/JVJzkchIL1YmquX_ZOJqTw.html
I would go back to uni and start it all over again JUST to meet people like him so yeah 😂🙏🏻
How are you guys able to score well, study so many hours, join extra curricular activities, go to so many classes, watch so much Netflix, maintain so many friends and go clubbing? :0
Bea Tan natural ability cuts down revision time
Hmm... well just enjoy your life with deep sadness and seem-like despair...
They have 48 hours in a day....
Generally highly academic people struggle socially so have more time to study
And don't need work as they have rich parents to bail them out
I'm presuming Will's the alcoholic of the group?!
You're all such sweet kids and such inspiration for a 46 yrs old mother that has gone back to school for a (seriously belated) masters degree in computer engineering!
OK CAN EVERYONE SEE THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN PAIGE AND ED?!?!? Adorable! x
SAME I SHIP THEM SO MUCH
Francy Chavez EXACTLY!!
I shipppp (ik this comment is like a year old, but whatevs ;) )
YES ♡
I ship them too.
I LOVE DAN'S HAIR
Hey jin
What an amazing group of friends you have! they all seem lovely and so supportive!
Genuinely love your friends. I've not even applied to Cambridge but just love your vids.
You all rock, and it makes me happy to see you all applying yourselves to learn something that will help you help society in some way shape or form. Also, I think entertainment has some art form to it and requires English majors so props to the English majors in this video as well. Encouragement from a west coast college student majoring in medicine and engineering.
Love this! So, wonderful to hear about Cambridge and the experience of living there, getting accepted, etc., from your friends! Lovely folks there! Love your videos! :)
more of Henry please!
Henry is an adorable person! I'd like to see more of him in your vlogs :) Also i really like this new kind of video. Keep going !!
Can we have more of Astrid in future please?? She's cute as heck
She has her own CZcams channel
This was one of the best videos!!! Please, do more of these!
Thank you very much for this video. It's so interesting to hear about other student's study life and how they cope with it. Especially because they have different degrees. :)
I love watching your videos!! I am starting my masters in social work this September, and your videos are really getting me motivated for the start of term:) thanks for sharing and good luck with your second year.
My mum went to Jesus College to study Law and she loved it! It’s great to get some other opinions on the college I would love to go to x
Study break right here ❤️ how to get away with murder is my fav too. This video is very interesting it’s nice to get to know Cambridge more :)
YASSS!!!!! Another update!!!! Keep up the good work Paige!! Hope you have a great day!!! xoxo grace
Aw I love this so much I need to see more !! All of your friends are such lovely people ! X
Thanks so much for posting this 😊 it was really helpful as an upcoming fresher
I loved the video! Kept smiling throughout 😊
Please make more videos like this where your friends are in involved! I really enjoy watching your videos, they make me feel productive idk why😅
love your videos, as always!! AND YAY FOR BACK TO THE FUTURE ED!!!!! also, could you do a "how i make my flashcards" kind of videos please? i'd love to see it!
no, there's not.
You realise how old you are when people start talking about how they are watching friends for the first time...... I liked hearing from some 'new' people I don't think we'd seen before like Dan, Henry, Jacob and Emma. Very interesting. Coming from New Zealand I still find it nuts that you guys in the UK have to sit 12 or 13 subjects for GCSE, that just seems insane to me, I did 6 at the equivalent age and it was hard enough!
I am sooo hooked on watching your vids!! I now have a life goal....to get through all your videos! :)
Loving Henrys jokes - especially the one about points systems haha having a points card makes me feel 100X more grown-up.
You’re all adorable!! 😇😇 not only smart, but funny. You’re all my inspiration! ❤️
I'm trying to get into Cambridge for 2020 and your videos are honestly helping me so much! I'm going for law though, so the subjects are obviously quite different ahah :)
Love your videos🙌🏻❤️
that was sooooo nice!!!! thank you so much!
Henry is a top chap. Definitely went to Eton like a respectable fellow should.
Your videos have been very insightful. I have personally been offered a place at Cambridge and just need to get A*AA at A Levels.
“I WOULD go out more.. But my friends are all physicists” 😂🙏🏻😂🙏🏻😂🙏🏻
Jacob is the cutest!!
Hearing their gcse results , realising there’s no way I’m ever going to get into Cambridge
ibz mo got in with D's at GCSE
They dont look at GCSEs
It's Oxford that looks at GCSEs
Jacob is a future Brian Cox
okay the exam results are terrifying haha
this made me smile so hard omg ty for this its beautiful
As always....u r awesome 💕
I don't know why but I ship you and Ed, Paige 😆
Ed reminds me of Jake Wright for some reason.
Kabir Keswani I second it
I ship him with will
i third that
Kabir Keswani sameeee
When Henry and Dan are the odd ones out😂 ALSO HOW CUTE ARE ED AND PAIGE OMGGGGGG
Ella is well-spoken and seems fun!
Henry is adorable!!
Amo a Dan y a Ed!! Son tan hermosos y nerds ❤️
Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Hey Paige! I don't know if you'll see this but would you mind asking Henry what his Classics interviews were like? I also have three in one day (and one the day after) so I really don't know what to expect haha
Perfect🔝🔥❄ as usual👌
can you do a video specifically about studying physics at uni and the difference in it from school, what you can do with it
Hey thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed reply. I'm actually in my first year at Bristol studying computer science but I'm not sure whether I've chosen the right course so I have been considering other options. I enjoyed maths and physics at A-Level and have missed studying it, but it wasn't my strongest point (I got a B) so I'm not sure if I would struggle too much with it at university level. I'm not sure whether to just stick with computer science, and potentially do a masters in something slightly more physics related (if that's even possible), or to transfer degree. Also, what kind of maths do you do in a physics degree? Is it more applied maths? In computer science it's a lot of logic and a bit of pure math as well such as group theory, and I'm not great at this type of maths.
i’m in year 10 and i’m getting 1s and 2s , there’s no way a will ever be able to get into a university like this
what are the chances that henry used to go to eton?
I subscribe because your videos motivate in every second of the day.. I am now enrolled for environment sciences (MAsters)
hahaha Ed and Will 😂😂
Ed and will, the sitcom!
Paige, don’t mind I love you BUT tell Ella that I love her the most !!! Like she is literally like a celebrity to me and I don’t know why lol but I just like her personality !
I have a question if anybody could please answer. Cambridge follows the "term" system wherein there are three 8-week terms. So that's hardly 24 weeks wherein most of the best US , Indian ,etc universities take atleast 9-10 months time of their students on campus. In that respect, isn't a US student getting a much better experience and interaction with their respective environments and obviously there's more time to explore a lot of other stuff too(very important in my opinion for maths, related stuff which I'm aspiring towards). Potentially at Cambridge I'll hardly be spending 1.5 years while at US unis it'll be 3.5 years. ( Also I am a sucker for going into deep mathematical concepts, whilst not sacrificing the breadth so on that respect Cambridge course structure seems appropriate)
This video is so funny and useful, I love it! ❤️ How did you choose your college? x
Hello Paige! I have to admit that I discovered your channel just a few days ago and really love your videos. I am currently 15 years old and in the future I would like to be able to go to Cambridge to study veterinary ... Any advice you can give me to help me with the application?
Ed's opinion was really different and funny😂😂🤣🤣.
I love Ella’s voice
Kind of like Florence Pugh’s.
this was so wholesome i stg
When you talking about work, do you mean the hours that you're studying or +the hours that you're on the lectures?
At first, i thought they meant 40hrs without lectures and i was like wow...
How much preparation did you do you your entrance exam/interview? Thank you !
Joe O'Carroll at my sixth form college my tutor advised us that we shouldn't waste too much time worrying about and prepping for interview, so I only really thought about it in the week or so leading up to it. I revised my a level syllabus for each subject and answered a few mock interview questions with a student in the year above who had just started at Cambridge at the time and was helping out. As for the entrance exam, I just prepared by attempted the specimen paper they had online. The trick for both the exam and interview is just to know your a level courses well.
PaigeY oh really? I was worried that I would have to dedicate lots of time to it. Thank you for replying and helping out. I love your videos!!
I love this!
say to ed and jacob is so cute
"I have sworn of clubbing until Friday" that is some real commitment there! 😂
Thank you! ☺️♥️
i do not know what college i want to apply to at all, if you don't get into a college do you get pooled and get taken in anyway? I'm quite confused lol
Will trying to drop the Rick and Morty copypaste ahaha.
Gotta love Ed! Haha
will is a mood
I just love all of you 😅
Great questions 👍
“Do you suffer with stress...” *nervous laugh* haha
Can you make a type of Study With me video please? They are mostly so motivational!! ❤️
TheRenaissanceman65 oh i know i’ve seen it!! I meant she should do more or the next video could be something like that :):)
You both look so pretty in the thumbnail!!xx
What college at Cambridge do you attend? I had no idea there were 31!!!!
I Love your Videos!
Emma is very cool-headed😁
2:47 that's the most posh person I've seen in your vlogs 🤣🤣
Did my masters in engineering there. You need to study all day if you wanna get a first-class. No free-time at all for engineering and maths students.
Can you suggest a decent place to stay in Cambridge with fully furnished apartment/flat/home, for single/couple, without paying to agency?
All of your friends are so cute seem so much fun
creative video(love)!!!! ;)
Dan looks like young Martin from Depeche Mode!
Will you still make videos when your not at uni ? X
Me being an Indian college students
We have 35 hrs on a good week if a teacher decides to go out to eat
From 8 am to 4 pm
Ed's birthday is also my birthday woahh
You can literally see which of them is really clever
Dan seems pretty cool. I’d chill with him
How can students from India get there?
You are sooo pretty😍😍
Jacob reminds me of Sam from GOT 😂 I think it’s the facial expressions
Emma’s articles are so sweet
really informative video! out of interest, how many came from private / state / grammar schools? x
Lizzy you can tell from accents the majority went to really good schools lol
Lizzy of the 9 people I interviewed, I think it's 2 from private schools and 7 from state schools, but to be honest with you I'm not entirely sure 😂
I love Ed
really cool video
what to do you mean by 'jesus college'
