During my sophomore year (2nd year) at university, my parents sent me a picture with the caption "Look at Dad's new office". It was my bedroom, with everything I owned moved out, Dad's office stuff moved in, and then repainted. I guess my parents knew I wasn't going to go back to live with them ever... which was true but still that was a savage move
I get you.. Like I just received a package with the stuff I "forgot" at my parents house, like toys or postcards from old classmates and my parents love me and stuff, but thats low-key rude
We once held a 90’s themed party at my uni. Everyone was dressing up in 90’s fashion trends, i mean the frosted blue eyeshadow and everything. EXCEPT random suit guy, who dressed up as Harry Potter (still in a suit), because it is set in the 90’s
Jack: Film everything because you will remember and cherish these moments forever. Me, in lockdown since I started university: Sure, I'm just gonna film the zoom meetings and my parents coming in every five seconds. o_o
When I found out Americans don't have kettles I proceeded to ask everyone I knew if they knew that Americans didn't have kettles I was so in shock (Australian btw) like imagine having to wait for water to boil in a pot every time????
I'm american, I know some of my friends have kettles but there's also a good amount of people who don't. personally if I make tea I'll just make a single cup and heat up the water in the microwave
I was one of those people who ignored everyone's advice and started dating one of my flatmates during second year of uni. It should have backfired so badly on us, but we're still together 3 years later. Still pretty solid advice though 😂
Accommodation is seriously important. Ask other students about their experiences etc. as they can help you avoid the really nasty places/landlords. I know from experience that there are some real nasty people out there. A bad place can really mess you up emotionally and physically so take your time, as well as some advice from the old Knight dude at the end of Last Crusade... Choose Wisely!
Most awkward lecture for me was once when I was late and took a seat in the back hoping no one would notice me I got settled and realized that the guy sitting one row ahead of me was watching porn on his laptop.
I started college after corona so watching this is just making me depressed. My first year is over and there is no end line in sight for my country. I started joking about how I'm going to graduate without ever stepping foot in my college but I don't think it's a joke anymore.
Hahaha the h*ndjob one was at my old university - I changed universities after my first year but the lecturer in the video took one of my first year classes and she handled that amazingly 😂
Most people in Australia don’t stay at uni unless they go interstate. They usually live at home. I just went to and from class and the library obsessed with getting good grades and also had undiagnosed Asperger’s syndrome the entire time and wondered why I couldn’t really make friends. Needless to say, my uni years were incredibly lonely. I didn’t have the funny happy memories you see in the second last TikTok. I’m much happier being a working woman.
I feel you. I have Asperger's syndrome too so I spend my entire time studying and being on RUclips instead of with people. I'm also still in school so I don't know if I will be happier working yet. I'm really happy that you're happier now though 😊
Heyyyyy, so the 🦄 unicorn 🦄 TikTok at the beginning was in 🇧🇷Portuguese 🇧🇷and I just translated what it said to all of you - [in baby voice] “Wait a minute, you really saw an alive unicorn?? How was it?? Was it meek??”. Very weird, yes 😂
It's so funny watching this video in may, after you saw exactly what the year was like and that a real "freshers week" is still yet to happen for the 2021 first years
AHH I can't believe we both taught of this! I also filmed a vid like this: COLLEGE STUDENT REACTS TO TIKTOKS ABOUT COLLEGE... but from a CANADIAN PERSPECTIVE! And let me tell you, it was definitely an ambitious crossover aha. Anyways, love your content :)
when the first tiktok started in Portuguese I was quite bamboozled, I actually thought was gonna be like "I decided to learn Portuguese during lockdown, no biggy!"
Peter Whitlock just look up review on like trustpilot or anything like that and you’ll get the gist. Obviously can vary depending on what accommodation but I personally have only known people to have an overpriced but mediocre experience or an awful experience with bad communication issues and lack of any kind of support and issues with plumbing, damp, mould etc that we’re never fixed
I had online MS Teams classes from nine until five fourtyfive today with two fifteen minute breaks and one half hour break. It's so rough. I really need video's like these (and Holland's Next Topmodel) to keep me some kind of optimistic. Especially this week as I am quarantined and waiting until I can finally get tested
I keep forgetting how late UK freshers week is! We've been plunged into lectures two weeks ago so freshers week was three weeks ago. I'm a third year now but I've had to organise some of the events and damn was it depressing, like so few things were offline. The online things were fairly fun but its just not the same 😔
Started uni during 2020. First year, 10 weeks in total on campus with the rest online. Second year, all on campus (before the travel strikes). Third year, might be the most normal year I’ve had (minus the one day there was strikes - improvement to 2nd year)
Hi Jack Edwards I've been following your channel for 2 years and you have provided me with so much information that I just want to say thank you so much. Also I just recieved your Uni guide book the Uni-Verse and I just know its going to help me coordinate and survive my first year of Uni this year. 👍
My brain fried a little bit when the first tik tok started to talk in portuguese... I was like “wait a minute...” then I felt really especial, because I’m one of the few people that understanded that part :)
Whenever I hear the grooving Jack Edwards into/outro music in the next three years when I've finished uni. Fuck me am I going to be unbearably nostalgic.
I used to live in Unite Students when i was studying in London. My building was really REALLY nice . Even tho other ones where kind of small. Well mine was tiny as well but it was modern and really comfortable
*Me in bed at 2am next to my boyfriend who’s been my flatmate since first year* We met in uni accom in first year and yes, the phrase ‘don’t sh*t where you eat was said 3000 times in our flat 🤣
look 1am aint bad, im watching this at 2.38 am and my sister is literally asleep behind me i stay up until 3.30am because i thought it was thursday, and i didnt have school the next day. The LITERAL second i got in bed i realised it was wednesday and i do in fact have school in the morning. but at least in started at 11am, i still managed to log in 10 minutes late tho
In regards to the sharing a house with someone you’re dating - 2 people from my first year halls got together, shared a house with 3 other people and are still together now 3 years on! But yes have heard stories about people who it hasn’t worked out with 😂
I was going to move in with 3 people in Sept 1st Year, but two now decided to move elsewhere - I later found out that they are in a relationship. I was very pleased to be now meeting people possibly not in a relationship just because it's easier to get to know people without being awkward.
In Brazil we don't have half of those things, we just live in our parents house, work a lot (most of time in a shity jobs), get crazy with our federal universities cuz we hate and love them, get drunk and try to get through the year, and if we are lucky enough, we move to our own place during our twenties. Maybe I'm jealous lol
I feel like Unite really varies depending on the city, I'm in an Aberdeen one and honestly it needs some work and is nothing like Jack's. Then again, I'm in the cheapest unite Aberdeen accomodation, others look much better but they're just not affordable for me 😊

damn that hurt.
Doing that without your consent is high key rude tho if you still had all of your shit in it
I'm in the US and we've always used a kettle!! Some sensible ppl over here hahaha
That must have stung. I would’ve gone mad if my parents moved into my room
I get you.. Like I just received a package with the stuff I "forgot" at my parents house, like toys or postcards from old classmates and my parents love me and stuff, but thats low-key rude
jack really started this by saying when Kendall met kylie like they arent sisters lmao
I'm clearly not the right demographic for this video because to me Kylie's sister is Danni Minogue
Becky Day hahahaha love Kylie Minogue as well but he means Kylie Jenner, she’s on the show Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
Well i'm sure they must've met at some point 😂
I thought he was going to say when Kylie met Jason!
And the pure Britishness of ‘When Ant met Dec’ too xD
I honestly feel like I'm doing this uni thing wrong. Like I just show up for classes, go home and that's it?
Same😭
Thought I was the only one :(
Same mate, literally left uni now and not in contact with any of the people I met.
😂😭✋🏻
oh thanks, i dont feel so lonely now
I wasn't expecting something relatable... but the random suit kid exists in Germany too 😂
Österreich genauso 😂
same here in Canada lol
we had one even back in school but got worse in university :D
in Serbia to hahah
I’m determined to be the female version of this when I go to uni
We once held a 90’s themed party at my uni. Everyone was dressing up in 90’s fashion trends, i mean the frosted blue eyeshadow and everything. EXCEPT random suit guy, who dressed up as Harry Potter (still in a suit), because it is set in the 90’s
Maybe it was the only clothes he had lol 😆

@@anggrayson1513 I have asked a handful American friends and their excuse is they "don't drink tea"
wtf. I am british. not having a kettle is just wrong.
I'm from the US and know at least three people who have kettles (I have one too). Maybe it's more of a niche thing in the US
@@gregorarmstrong01 exactly
I'm american, I know some of my friends have kettles but there's also a good amount of people who don't. personally if I make tea I'll just make a single cup and heat up the water in the microwave
The emails about getting emails were something else 😂
In fact I'm still getting them
I hate those emails
I was one of those people who ignored everyone's advice and started dating one of my flatmates during second year of uni. It should have backfired so badly on us, but we're still together 3 years later. Still pretty solid advice though 😂
'they'll probably do a proper fresher week once things reopen' - sweet, naive Jack
😭😭😭✋🏻
"make sure to take a lot of pics and vids" me as a first year uni student that didn't even went to my uni yet due to the pandemic: 👁️💧👄💧👁️
Same same but at least we still have a few more years.. which isn't a great thing cause studying sucks but yeah..
Been there done that. 😭😭😭
Same here. Let's cry together
Same, never stepped foot on campus😢
Same...😭
Something about the soft colourful lights in the background is so visually pleasing👌
Totally!
Billie eilish pics in the background too. 😁

Haha HIMYM love it
Most awkward lecture for me was once when I was late and took a seat in the back hoping no one would notice me I got settled and realized that the guy sitting one row ahead of me was watching porn on his laptop.
My uni has said our fresher's week includes walking dogs and eating doughnuts afterwards. I'm not complaining
Oh I'd give anything to walk & pet doggos. Ours got canceled and i don't think they're gonna open uni anytime soon
I started college after corona so watching this is just making me depressed. My first year is over and there is no end line in sight for my country. I started joking about how I'm going to graduate without ever stepping foot in my college but I don't think it's a joke anymore.
Me too, my first year was over in a flash
This is the same for me but with high school. It's sad.
I really hope things work out. Sorry to hear that mate.

Yes. I am brazilian i can confirm
The suit guy is so relatable.. I had one guy who wore a suit to everything (including chemistry labs and exams!) hahaha
Most of the “suit guys” that I saw in my Uni were all Business school kids who just wanted to look professional at all times.
it's the "we got an email saying that we're gonna get an email" for me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
The first tiktok (that one that scares you) was in portuguese and when i heard it i was like: "did i changed the video? What have i done? " 🤣
I'm literally American and you made me question my sanity by saying we don't have kettles. I personally don't own one, but plenty of people do😂
Thank you for everything Jack, you’ve helped me with so much stuff re school and Mental health and I owe so much to you. Thank you
This comment is so cute. 🥺❤️
@@yinhannasjournal 🥺🥺🥺
It's so funny watching this video in may, after you saw exactly what the year was like and that a real "freshers week" is still yet to happen for the 2021 first years
Ahahaha when u said “we actually have kettles” I genuinely thought u were going to say “we actually have ket”
1:02 - 1:11 For some reasons I loves this scene...How amazing would have it been if you had a twin brother ^-^
this is the motivation i needed for my classes today...... still not that motivated but hey better than nothing
Not me squeezing this video perfectly between two lecture
OMG your room is so aesthetic
My uni didn’t send emails during pandemic 😅 only about returning books back to the library
AHH I can't believe we both taught of this! I also filmed a vid like this: COLLEGE STUDENT REACTS TO TIKTOKS ABOUT COLLEGE... but from a CANADIAN PERSPECTIVE! And let me tell you, it was definitely an ambitious crossover aha. Anyways, love your content :)
I DID THAT WIKIPEDIA THING TOO !! That's a golden tip!
when the first tiktok started in Portuguese I was quite bamboozled, I actually thought was gonna be like "I decided to learn Portuguese during lockdown, no biggy!"
The email thing is so true! Although now that we actually need an email because term is starting soon all we get is our VC on the News YAY
Jack you're officially my favourite youtuber🌙
jack's videos makes me so happy !!
the lighting of this video is _immaculate_
I’ve heard really bad things about Unite Students’s accommodation....
Oh god, what’ve you heard?? I’m moving into a unite students accommodation on Sunday 😂
Peter Whitlock just look up review on like trustpilot or anything like that and you’ll get the gist. Obviously can vary depending on what accommodation but I personally have only known people to have an overpriced but mediocre experience or an awful experience with bad communication issues and lack of any kind of support and issues with plumbing, damp, mould etc that we’re never fixed
student roost ain't great either. that's my accommodation at the moment and the hob doesn't even work.
Yeah they’re awful they currently have a 1.5 rating from hundreds of reviews on trustpilot
@@Jessica-jr2ir mediocre and overpriced is kinda best case when it comes to student accommodation tbf
I miss seeing you at Durham :(
I had online MS Teams classes from nine until five fourtyfive today with two fifteen minute breaks and one half hour break. It's so rough. I really need video's like these (and Holland's Next Topmodel) to keep me some kind of optimistic. Especially this week as I am quarantined and waiting until I can finally get tested
Had me 😭 when fish met chips 😂😭😂
I keep forgetting how late UK freshers week is! We've been plunged into lectures two weeks ago so freshers week was three weeks ago. I'm a third year now but I've had to organise some of the events and damn was it depressing, like so few things were offline. The online things were fairly fun but its just not the same 😔
I royally fucked up today so I really needed this. Thank you!
Mate IM LOSING MY HEAD HAHAHHA. What a dream come true😌thank you for this, flattered to know u found truth in my tik tok ❤️❤️xxxx
'when fish met chips' the most british thing outta his mouth (:
I mouth the words to the Truman quote at the end every single time I just can’t help it
Now this is what I call an original video idea!! Love it!!! :))
I’m so excited my TikTok was featured, I saw you like it a few weeks back and ngl I got super excited
(30 grand in debt outfit one 😂)
SirMarmalade lol I had the same with the chips one
Omg the first video was in Portuguese hahahaha I'm so glad I'm trilingual, it's about moments like this that I don't get to miss
Going into Halls on Sunday and finding out on the news today, that gatherings of more than 6 has thrown a right curve ball.
The tiktok at the end with the broken door - I used to live there lol
The joy of how the british people pronounce uni is bringing me through the week so far. 😉
i was so shocked with the first tiktok 😂 i'm brazilian and i was just listening to the video so i thought it was some random ad
Started uni during 2020. First year, 10 weeks in total on campus with the rest online. Second year, all on campus (before the travel strikes). Third year, might be the most normal year I’ve had (minus the one day there was strikes - improvement to 2nd year)

'you'll get a proper fresher's week later on in the year when things reopen' ... well that went well
their washing machine had a spelling mistake on it omg HAHAHAHHAAH
jack i swear to god if you aren’t making videos in 5 years when i actually go to uni i’m going to cryyy 😂 x
Omg we have a random suit kid too!!!! But he doesn’t wear it every single class but he does to most 😂
so... part 2 soon? thanks Jack :)
Love the little mix song 5:32😂💗💗
There is a 2 month gap between the upload of this video and the first time I watch it and he's right about greeting me at 1 am 😮
currently 3am here, and i couldnt relate more to the intro and lack of a sleep schedule... its not a problem right??
My brain fried a little bit when the first tik tok started to talk in portuguese... I was like “wait a minute...” then I felt really especial, because I’m one of the few people that understanded that part :)
hahhahaha same, but it's still embarrassing
The sponsorship intro was so clever. 😭✋🏻
watching this at 1.40 am, so same
Whenever I hear the grooving Jack Edwards into/outro music in the next three years when I've finished uni. Fuck me am I going to be unbearably nostalgic.
When you actually were there in that lecture... 5:09
Holy- I want to know more- what?
I FOUND YOUR VIDEOS RECENTLY AND I LOVE IT. OH MY GOD 😂
This is the video I never knew I needed😂😂
I used to
live in Unite Students when i was studying in London. My building was really REALLY nice . Even tho other ones where kind of small. Well mine was tiny as well but it was modern and really comfortable
Oh my god, I was in this, mama I’ve made it!!
There's a club in Kiel called Tucholsky where you also stick to the floors and there's so many fights there jeez at least the drinks are cheap haha
Yeah they are still sending uselessly stressful emails at Durham I get like 20 emails a day like leave me alone 😭😭
I live in a Unite Students accommodation its so good!!! I also highly recommend.
*Me in bed at 2am next to my boyfriend who’s been my flatmate since first year*
We met in uni accom in first year and yes, the phrase ‘don’t sh*t where you eat was said 3000 times in our flat 🤣
Just for the record--some Americans have kettles!! Lol my family has always used one for tea and boiling water for pasta etc.
I hope you do a part 2.
At this point I already knew who was the sponsor of this video hahaha
I didn't take any photos or videos of my time at university, but that's fine because I didn't do anything except ace all my courses.
Seeing the sponsor unite students made me cry a little my building has had so many problems this year 🥲xx
When fish met chips😂🙈
"Can you believe american's don't have kettles?"
We do, we just don't use them
The video in portuguese lmao
I was waiting for this comment!
Yeah hahhhahh i got super confused switching languages lol
yes!!1 i was looking for a comment like this
look 1am aint bad, im watching this at 2.38 am and my sister is literally asleep behind me
i stay up until 3.30am because i thought it was thursday, and i didnt have school the next day. The LITERAL second i got in bed i realised it was wednesday and i do in fact have school in the morning.
but at least in started at 11am, i still managed to log in 10 minutes late tho
In regards to the sharing a house with someone you’re dating - 2 people from my first year halls got together, shared a house with 3 other people and are still together now 3 years on! But yes have heard stories about people who it hasn’t worked out with 😂
As an American, I swear we have kettles! Lol
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have one 😂
Omg. 😂
One thing I resonate with at the start of this video is about leaving my things in hostel because I thought we would come back
I was going to move in with 3 people in Sept 1st Year, but two now decided to move elsewhere - I later found out that they are in a relationship. I was very pleased to be now meeting people possibly not in a relationship just because it's easier to get to know people without being awkward.
Jack is the only person that can pull off under eye bags really well
Wow how did you know the exact content of all the emails i receive from my uni 🤯😂
I'm American and I have a kettle
the amount of views on this video is equal to the amount of times jack has said universi-tea
😂😂😂
That one video that used the Doctor Who audio nooooo I was not prepared for that
The Wikipedia tip, so true. I did A Level geography and I got told the colouring joke so much. Living with your partner ain't all shit, Jack.
i LOVE the sudden rant about americans and their refusal to own kettles
In Brazil we don't have half of those things, we just live in our parents house, work a lot (most of time in a shity jobs), get crazy with our federal universities cuz we hate and love them, get drunk and try to get through the year, and if we are lucky enough, we move to our own place during our twenties.
Maybe I'm jealous lol
and we also don't have kettles
I feel like Unite really varies depending on the city, I'm in an Aberdeen one and honestly it needs some work and is nothing like Jack's. Then again, I'm in the cheapest unite Aberdeen accomodation, others look much better but they're just not affordable for me 😊
