BORING? RICH KIDS ONLY? TOO MUCH WORK? Oxford student reacts to Tiktoks about Oxford University!(ad) 

As I said in the video but seems not to be getting across to a lot of people (sad times) - I’m aware oxford isn’t for everyone! It’s a very unique experience in many ways but that doesn’t make it bad. Yes, some of the traditions may seem daunting at first, but the fact students have voted to keep many of them shows they are enjoyed by many! Just because you don’t like the look of them doesn’t make people who do enjoy them horrible. Oxford does have huge access issues, but it is also home to lots of amazing, talented, lovely students who don’t all deserve to be painted with the same negative brush ☺️ x

19:00 - pls make a video abt each college and their stereotypes / the kinds of ppl who go there or like the general atmosphere of each one because college websites don’t give this kind of info, thanks❤️

I’m starting at Oxford in October! This was really fun light-hearted video, Eve, thanks for the insider perspective!

This was such a good video! Thanks for always being real Eve!

1:19 This casetify case is just amazing. They are protective but not bulky, they got soooo many designs to choose 💕totally worth it!

Not sure why people are holding you responsible for the not so great aspects of Oxford when you're literally debunking myths and saying that there's still a lot of work that needs to be done?? Def agree with everything you said -- Oxford takes a while to get used to, but the less questionable traditions definitely do grow on you over time! (Also lol that 'most beautiful colleges' TikTok made me mad too)

aaaa you and ruby always post at the exact same time and it’s always such a choice of who’s to watch first lol

You could say Oxford is as supportive as a broken bed with a 30 year-old mattress!

I love the fact you have traditions!! It would be such a shame to get rid of that stuff, looks amazing Eve :) xx

Ahaha this is so so funny- loved this video!! ❤️❤️

I totally get the work pressure, I go to the University of York and our terms are between 8-10 weeks long so it very much is work hard, play hard xxx

i‘d love to see a video of you talking about the different colleges

Geez. Look at all the comments gunning for Eve! I simply don’t understand it. I think it was a great video and in no way was it intended to show Oxford as a superior university to any other. Eve, Ignore the comments from people who intentionally set out to take offence at every opportunity xx

Could you please make a quick fire assumptions video Oxford based? xx

This was both a good laugh and informative ❤️

I’m applying for Cambridge next year and I’m so so excited just at the thought of going !!

in year 9 i actually went to oxford for a say, honestly its so nice and aesthetic looking!!

As a long time follower Your skin looks amazing right now !! X

Omg you've grown soso much I love you 😍

11:32 YESSSSSSSS nativity that's literally what I thought when it started playing because of that star costume!!!!

This was so much fun!!!

Thanks for the video, loved it!

Love this video Eve xx

I’m just watching this now for the first time and the girl in the tiktok at 11:48 went to my school and was in my year group (and sixth form tutor group). I’d seen that tiktok before but I didn’t expect her to be in this video omg

Nice experience. Presented very skilfully. By the way your presentation skills are awesome.

this was hilarious 😂

Oxford is so dreamy

Rewatched a lot of your old vids with your side parting and then seeing you with a middle parting, you look so different!

To avoid offending people you could do the colleges video in a format where you directly ask people going to each college to debunk the myths and speak the truth on their respective college. In that way you can’t be accused of “shading” other colleges! Just an idea :)

Loved this vid xxx

Not going to Oxford but this video is so funny and Oxford looks so fun! ignore the hate dont understand why people are getting so offended x

Great video!! Keep up the good work. You inspire me to make better videos on my own channel :)

lol 12:34 i saw this tiktok the other day and i was like imagine if eve bennet saw this lmao

Wish our uni had a tradition of trashing. Looks SO fun!

thanks for your content :)

Could you ever post a video explaining each college and what they are known for

HAHAHHAHA the mozart thing was in my (teddy hall) house which is not mertonesque at all

Hey Eve love ur videos, I was wondering if you could do a video about all the oxford colleges??

I really do not get the negative comments. As I am from The Netherlands, I of course don't know everything about English colleges and traditions, but you have traditions everywhere. There are 'drinking societies' at my university here as well. We have elitist - or non-elitist - societies that got in the news for the wrong things, but there are also many positive sides to societies and there are many wonderful societies that include all members and are open and welcoming for everyone. I think we all need to focus a bit more on the positive side of everyone's unique experiences and laugh at this video - as it is very funny. Love it Eve xx

I’m going to Oxford (hopefully) this autumn and I wanted to ask if you could have people stay round overnight (eg. If your siblings come to visit) and how much kitchen access you had in first year at LMH? How dressed up do you get for formal, like full prom dress or just a normal dress? Where do you buy your sub fusc from? I love this video, you really make me excited to go xx

I loveee this video ❤❤🥰

Ad from 0:44. Video starts at 2:00

I absolutely loved this, I took a gap year after my a levels but I'm heading to uni to do forensic psychology this year and this is making me look forward to it (providing corona doesn't ruin it) xx

Also can you do a video rating all the oxford colleges and like what’s good and bad about them ☺️ thanks

This was sooo funny omg! 😂😂 I love you! Btw, might be a silly question, but do Oxford students have lectures or tutorials etc on weekends? Or is it just catching up on work?

Tbf the languages one is 37% AT INTERVIEW so it's around 17% total cos there's so many steps before you get into the interview room

This was such a cool idea!!! I was like omg that’s me

The welfare and term time thing I feel that with Durham we have short terms and the main uni is TRASH, I legit took a year out and moved colleges cause of how bad I found it but my new college is amazing and I’m v happy so it does depend on colleges a lot and no one realises that I feel

When you talked about how the people make a uni good or bad, I 100% agree. I went to a uni located 5h away from my home, because it had such good "reviews" from students about the professors and the staff. I have two uni's two hours away from home but one had a low score in the rankings and the second one is known for literally bullying their students (though they are high in the rankings) so even though I applied and got into all three, I went to the furthest one which I thought would be the best fit for me 😂 love it here though, I have an amazing group and the staff is so nice. They expect you to know everything and more but if you're struggling, they're more than willing to help you. So if someone is making a decision now - I recommend talking to some students at the different uni's that you're considering and asking them about the things that concern you ❤

Just wanted to clarify that your not expected to know latin for Classics at Oxford. They have a four year course where the first year is intensive Latin or Ancient Greek learning (which can be from scratch you just need an aptitude for languages).

This makes me want to go to oxford so bad. My university in New Zealand has like 0 traditions.

I would love a video about college stereotypes because I'm applying this Year

Can you please do an Oxford colleges reputations/stereotypes video?

I saw you in Fever Eve! I was too nervous to come over though😥😥

Hi, great video! Do you think you could do one on the different college stereotypes?

I don’t think I could ever go to oxford I feel like every one is a posh rich kids with sprinkle of ethnics even from the videos and that’s not my background at all I feel like I wouldn’t hv the same types of convos

"academic rigour" IM SO TRIGGERED 😂

‘Sub Fusc’ is short for ‘Sub Fuscus’- it means dark brown in Latin :)

This is such a great video, as always! By the way, are you still given work to do in between terms at University?

Why hate on someone who has obviously worked hard for a large majority of their life and will continue to do so? No matter what their background is it is very clear that she is purely there due to her intelligence, academic background and work ethic. It is possible for anyone to do the same. Even if that path is looking damaged, u can overcome and adapt. So rather than hating on an individual who has achieved more than you, learn from them and ask them questions. We all are blessed as humans, the very people we are. And even if there was a point where she put in a slight “flex” about her past, she damn well has the right to because it wasn’t handed to her. She made it, shaped it, and took it and you can all do the same.

eve - "i sat eight or nine exams.......... It wAs fINe"

OMDS THE PERSON WHO DID THE STEP ON THE BRAKES TIKTOK WENT TO MY SECONDARY SCHOOL!!!

We need a cambridge vs oxford video

Can you maybe do a video on how you actually end up learning to write essays and know what to do at uni? Im going next year and I'm like HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO..!! 😊 ty x

could you please do a video about the college you go to? or any others you know? i'm hopefully going to study French and philosophy and i'd like to know which one is more suited for me! x

I am so jealous. Not because I wanna be at Oxford, but I wanna have that kind of college experience

eve made a good point there 16:09

Can you do a haul? I like any, but stuff like handbags and stuff!

Love this video, Eve! I have a place at Univ College for English and am a bit worried about what you said about the support at Oxford in general not being good - do you know what it's like at Univ? Or if students can use support provision between different colleges? Thanks :) x

Really nice video😊 don't understand why people are hating

I hate how people get offended at everything nowadays. Eve has to keep explaining herself before people get mad😂😭😭

I was at St John's many years ago. I'm nice! Lol xx

If Universities tested INNATE intelligence, not the timidity, conformity and slave like commitment that A Levels show, then there would be no access problem. Uni way better back in the 80s when you didn't even need A Levels, it was based on their own more intelligence based tests. Hope you'll think about this Eve.

Earlyyy! 💓

like the castefy phone cases

This sounds like my kind of school

Are university formals compulsory? Because they seem awful, I'd hate having to go to those formals

7:41 did i just see a young Boris Johnson? LMFAO😂🤣

omg as a French speaker ik nobody says sacre bleu at all

Hiii ♥️

Me watching the prettiest college video like: 👏 where 👏 is 👏 jesus👏

I love your accent

Sos do a part two

pls rate the colleges and tell us the ACTUAL stuff about them plss

OMG I can't believe you have to know LATIN if you do classics! Must be very difficult for international students

Does trashing completely ruin your robes? Like will it wash out?!

wh remebers beauty with eve and revision with eve

not to be like ‘please spill the tea on the colleges’ but like.... i was going to apply to magdalen and your reaction got me scared 😰

Watching all these Tik Toks realising that Cambridge is better 😂

I don't know if is my love for Harry Potter or what but it's kinda my dream?

Anyone else get Mamma Mia vibes at 5:47

lmaoooo they speak latin at them? 😭 so you guys just sit there like 🗿 not understanding anything?

Sub fusc actually means dark brown in latin

💛💛💛

God this depiction looks awful, I literally couldn’t deal with the rich private school mentality / acting like literal children in order to strike some sort of balance? Couldn’t be me, but each to their own I guess!!

Whats iffy about Magdalen? I’m thinking of applying there so please tell me😭
