- How to pick the PERFECT university and course for you, featuring the queen of studytube... UNJADED JADE! We chatted all about finding a university, which type of uni accommodation is best, sports facilities, our experience applying to Oxbridge, whether you should pick a city or campus uni and SO. MUCH. MORE. If you're applying to uni in 2018 or 2019, this video is for you!
Thank you so much to the amazing UnJaded Jade for being on my channel! We also filmed a video over on her channel which you can watch here: • BRITISH SECONDARY SCHO...

My favourite Oxford rejects.
waheeeeeeeeeeyyyyyy
Oxford will regret not getting these gems! ❤❤
Same😍😍
Ouch haha
Is that a compliment???
ROUND OF APPLAUSE for Jack who cut a 40 minute video to 12 minutes! 👏👏
This was so so fun to film, as was finally meeting you in person! Despite the fact I had to read the notes off your phone because of those missing glasses, I'd say this was some pretty sound UnJaded Jack advice 😉
omg 40 minutes well spent though 🙌🏼
Jack, if you pin Jade's comment it will always stay at the top, even when comments are sorted by newest first. Well done to both of you.
UnJaded Jade er
proud to be an oxford reject alongside you guys! this collab was so worth the wait!
WAHEEEEEY OXBRIDGE REJECTS UNITE
LOOOOOOOOOLLLL
Jack Edwards

hayat x it’s oxbridge (Cambridge and Oxford) Xx
“Go to open days” ..... open days cancelled due to Coronavirus 🤦♀️🤦♀️😞
A lot of university's give virtual open days. They aren't as good as the real ones to be honest because you don't get a sense of direction
Same 😭, fortunately the uni I want to go to did virtual seminars about the different majors.
lol
Exactly......And I got 20 days to decide which courses I'm going to do.👁👄👁
I got no clue whatsoever of what should I choose. Should I choose engineering or physics with computer or chemistry or stats (maths courses)??? Or something I want but is completely different from the subjects I did?? At this point it is better I don't go. But then again 😑😑😑
Sorry for ranting... I'm soo frustrated and stressed out.
Oxford does not know what it’s missing
oh they do now
In year 12, my Maths teacher told me "nothing good has ever come out of Horsham, be the one to change that" and though it's cliché, it's stuck with me and I think about what she told me most days and it motivates me so much. :)
PROVE. HER. WRONG.
Like, RIGHT NOW.
Have you proven her wrong yet?
How about now, have you proven her wrong?
now? was she proven wrong already?
Have you yet?
Open days
Corona: “am I a joke to you?”
We should get corona privileges
Same I am struggling for open days
Jade 2018: Didn't want to study in Scotland because it's too far away
Jade now: Studying at an international uni, living in different countries every year
watching this 2 years later - wow imagine being able to go to an open day... :((((
Currently in first year at Warwick and have never ever been to Warwick 😂
'I know where all the good coffeeshops are' gets a whole different meaning when you're Dutch
hahahahaha very very true
Jack and jade : a perfect combination!
💙💙💙💙
This collab makes me so happy 😂😭 love this so much! 🔥💕✨
aw that's the nicest thing ever, it makes me so happy too because it was ridiculously fun to film!
Jack Edwards it was super fun to watch! Glad you both had a fab day ☺️
jack is so freaking cute
right are you flirting with me
Jack Edwards they're just speaking the truth
Jack Edwards jack Edwards being the legend we never knew we needed
"I thought it was too far"
Me, thinking about going to uni in Scotland from Spain: *laughs nervously*
CONSIDER SCOTTISH UNIS! The four year course is honestly amazing, so much less pressure in the first year and the breathing space of second year. Only the 3rd/4th year course count to final degree in most cases
ohhhhhh that sounds incredible!
YES! I'm going into my third year at Edinburgh and I couldn't recommend it highly enough. Also Scottish unis give you the flexibility within your course to DO A MODULE WHICH IS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR DEGREE due to the credit rating system of courses! Plus if you - like me - have a meltdown in the first week of first year and realise that you no longer want to study the degree you applied for, as long as you have the required grades you can change courses to wherever there's spaces! I switched from Chemistry to Law in my first week of first year and it was the best decision I've ever made.
Please don’t 😭😭😭 I’ve been rejected by both Scottish unis and I was so devastated 😢 unfortunately, especially for EU, Scottish unis are so damn competitive... Still don’t know why I was rejected by one of them cause my grades exceeded their typical offer requirement, I had experience in the field etc. So yeah, one month passed and I’m still heartbroken 💔
callmerka could you please tell me which Scottish unis you applied to and what subjects? I'm a not-UK person considering studying there so I'm very curious!
kittycatalysis and how are the accents? English isn't my first language and I'm scared I won't understand all the accents (teachers, other students, even doctors or shop assistants)
Whattttt I was literally gonna request this video to be made and it’s been made thank you so much for this
Waheeeeeeeey always one step ahead (complete fluke)
Jade: the ideal distance is two and a half hours away.
*Goes to an international university*
I'm so happy for her though that she's found the best place for her. She deserves all the success.
Also a BA English @ Oxford reject! I'm in year 13 and really love English (going to study it at uni) so I'd love it if you filmed a video on what it's like studying English at university!
I didn't apply to Durham (because I stupidly thought it'd be too far from home) but I think it'd still be really interesting to see what the course is like from your POV! Love these videos :)
I'd LOVE to film this! Might do it in the next couple of weeks before exams!
I’m a Surrey gal who’s just accepted my place at St Andrews, so the comment about distance is so helpful! Love the video and advice ☺️
AHHHHH HOW EXCITING! St Andrews looks amaaaaazing
Jack the entire video: Open days are everything, you need to go to every open day
Me, during covid and self isolating: Oh
Mood
Why am I watched this I haven't even done my GCSEs...
Vince and his Hair same
Hahahahahah now THAT is true dedication, thank you!
samee im literally so excited for uni
Vince and his Hair don’t worry about that bro, you Can do self study your own read books learn some vocabulary everyday, understand thats all
Same I'm in yr 10
'I can see the cathedral from my bedroom'. That means the cathedral can see your bedroom. Right?
Wait weren't you in one of the vlogs???????????? #MYpresident
Jack looks so cute in this video omg
you FLIRT!
I can’t believe I found my two favorite RUclipsrs collabing 4yrs ago! This is so cute!!!
i would also recommend considering universities abroad! many courses are taught in English, and they could be perfect for you (it also helps if you like language learning, but don't want to study it at uni)
YESSSSS studying abroad would be incredible!
Im only in middle school and not anywhere close to college...yet I love ur videos!!!
Aw I really appreciate that - thank you!
My favourite two RUclipsrs in terms of education are in one video!!!! 😳😳😳
Watching this, literally only in year 10, not even needing to revise, but it’s Jack and THEN Jade too so I’m all here for it!
Deciding on a uni in the UK seems so stressful! In Australia, the open days aren’t amazing and it’s literally not a big deal, you kinda easily decide which uni you want, as there’s not too much choice here ahah! Also you two seem like you’ve been friends for ages, even tho you just met in person! Would love more videos of you together in the future❣️
Ahhh that's so interesting! Do most people stay close to home then???
Was SO much fun to film this - hopefully we'll be able to do it again :)
Jack Edwards Jack Edwards Pretty much!! Unless you’re from the Northern Territory, where there’s nothing good, people move haha but generally most people stay at home! There are some, of course, that move to Sydney or Melbourne, depending on their preferred course and atar, but it’s not a big deal thinking about accomodation and things like that! (Atar is like our A level results)😊
Honestly I think you’re reading my mind. I was just sitting here agonising on how I was going to choose between Edinburgh and Exeter for psychology 😂 (plus loving the collab with Jade)
Tasia Sparks i’m currently at Exeter; my best friend studies Psychology and she loves it! The university campus and the city itself is beautiful, and from what my friend has told me modules choices are really broad, especially into year 2&3!
Tasia Sparks what job do you want to do with psychology?
Ahh thank you Isabelle, that’s really reassuring to hear. I went to the open days and loved the city. Its definitely somewhere I can see myself living. The people were lovely as well. I’m just putting off making the commitment.
I’m not sure Agata, I can’t decide if I want to go into forensics or marketing/ management 😂. What about you??
Tasia Sparks im still deciding ahah i really have no clue
Honestly, yours and Jades vlog both are open side by side and i cannot contain my excitement. GETTING DOUBLE THE TREAT xx
WAHEEEEEY this makes me SO happy!
Jack Edwards and here it comes back again whoops. Sorry not sorry 🙏🏻
This came at the right time, I'm pushing towards the end of year 12 and the teachers are breathing down my neck about mentally picking a top 5 and going to visit them. I was so hesitant about going to Durham because of the reputation it has as the home for Oxbridge rejects but speaking to a girl who came to represent Durham at my career fair really opened up my mind to the idea of going there.
Kaliyah Bower I felt the same way about Durham but I stayed at one of the colleges over the Easter holidays and it’s amazing! The lecturers are so passionate about what they teach
Honestly Durham is SUCH a nice place and everyone here is lovely!
NOOOOOO WAAAAY! FINALLY, It’s about time u guys collab 😇😇
WAHEEEEEEY thank you for watching!!!!
This was an incredibly helpful video! I'm considering applying to Edinburgh next year and as a student from outside of the UK this was SO helpful! I hope you both enjoy your respective unis and have a great day!
Jade: "Did you not help out jack?"
Jack: " uhh I have things to do"
That is so lowkey me!!!! Lollll!
hahahaha A MOOD
Really wasn’t having a great day until I watched this, thank you both for putting a smile on my face and radiating them positive vibes🌈⭐️☀️X
Aw thank you for watching! 💙💙
That is so amazing that two of my favourite RUclipsrs collabrate together!
THIS COLLAB FINALLY HAPPENED AYYY 🙌
BUZZING!!! So much fun to film!
"find a youtuber doing your subject" is literally why I started watching Jack ngl
I ship it🙌
Watching this after seeing the video on UnJaded Jade! I'm in year 11 but i looked round a couple of different Universities last year as the course I want to do (music computing) is not done in many places (there's like 2 or 3 places that do it i think!) I think looking round really helped me prove to myself that that is something I love because GCSE computing at my school has been tough with problems with teaching etc. but whilst most of my class have given up i'm still putting in the work to make sure I can get on to the a level course. I would definitely recommend to anyone to look round early because it may help with a level options etc as well and it's just nice to see where your current exams etc. could lead you to!
This is SUCH amazing advice - good on you for pursuing your passion no matter what! Wishing you aaaaall the luck in the world (although it doesn't sound like you need it) - I guarantee you'll smash it!
Jack Edwards thank you so much!! The exam is in just under 3 weeks (my first one) so hopefully I’ll get the grade I need for next year!
Yay! So excited for this, I’m applying to uni next year! This video was definitely helpful, thanks so much to both of you! Xxx
Also, I’m doing English Lit, History and Media. I have to say English is definitely what I enjoy most.
AHHHH all my favourite things! Where abouts are you hoping to study??
Jack Edwards Well, University of Birmingham is definitely my first choice! Thank you for replying!!
loved watching this even though I'm already in my fourth year of uni hahaha. it's just so interesting to see how different it all is in other countries (I'm from Belgium!)
This is such a helpful video for my studies I watched both of you and looked up to your interest in studies. Thank you Jade and Jack for this helpful advice Much appreciated😊
gahhhhh i love you both so much!! year 11 going on 12 atm, can't wait for the hype of a levels and then uni!
eeeeekkk good luck with your exams this year!!!
Jack Edwards thanks jack!
I'm so glad I'm only about two hours from home because I was so homesick in my first term, my parents or grandparents were always visiting. I don't need as many visits now but I wouldn't have made it through first term if I'd been too far way to be visited.
Ahhhh thank you for sharing this, I suppose because I haven't felt homesick at all I couldn't really express both sides of it! Hope all is going well for you! 💙💙
Thanks for replying! Everything is indeed going well, but yeah I just never predicted I'd be homesick so I thought it might be worth bearing in mind for some people
i wanted this soooo bad .. u guys are my two fave youtubers in the entire planet
Aw this made my day! Thank you for watching!
I love Jade talking about studytubers being gold dust because I’m going into second year Literature at York which makes you my perfect studytuber!
Oh my goodness, the greatest collaboration ever!!!
Aw thank you - was so so so much fun to film!
Ive just been stressing to hell about choosing a course and a uni so this is a blessing!
My main advice is pick something you love and then uni will be the best thing EVER!
Jack Edwards Thank you! I'm torn between Chemistry or Medicine. I'm super excited for Uni though!
Ive been struggling to decide between Aberdeen and Heriot Watt for Geography and the past few days have been even harder and im considering taking a year out! this was so helpful for me and really enjoyed watching you two together! xx
I'd say definitely pick one now if you're not sure because you can always defer further down the line (especially once you already have the qualifications!)
good luck with it all! wishing you all the best 💙💙
Jack Edwards okay that makes sense! thank you so much! 💚
Aww Jack's smile is so cute!
this made me smile even more ☺️☺️☺️☺️
Unjaded jack will rise!
I think its really great advice to go to open days before you pick your A level choices! something people forget although some courses are flexible in what A levels you've taken others aren't and that can be really disheartening if you find out too late. I've been to university for one degree and am returning to another university to study another degree in september and Its so interesting the difference in the choices and reasoning that I made the first time around in comparision to now, Great video!
A collab of a lifetime! this is what I'm talking about! Y A Z
💙💙💙💙💙💙
Hahah yes vote 1 for Jack Edwards- mayor of Durham! ❤️❤️❤️
Much appreciated - my manifesto will be published next week x
Two of my favourite study tubers!!! What could be better
WHAT a collab
also i just choked on my drink at jade's owen wilson 'wow' at the end HAHA
ahhhhhhh St Andrew's looks INSANE - so so so annoyed I ruled it out :(
I have three years left until I need to start considering Uni’s but it’s never too early to START LOOKING am i right? ALSO LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!
(YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING FIT BTW XXXXX)
HAHAHAHAH WE LOVE YOU SKY!!! Never ever too early :)
Honesty i’m an international student who is going to apply to the UK for uni this December , and I am really nervous about fitting in and fining friends who are similar to me but watching this video I am more hopeful. Hopefully I meet with people like you guys in my uni
What are the annual experiences in the UK and unis if it isn't a secret do you have a part-time job?? 😊😊
Love the way I’m watching this even though I firmed last week 😅😅
Hahaha now THAT is dedication
loved thisss, please collab again! You actually make the perfect duo, I can defo see you two as presenting pair! question though, roughly how many unis did you visit when looking ? in year 12 rn and currently trying to organise the logistic nightmare of visiting all these unis. Thank uu x
ahhhh that'd be amazing!
i visited 6 but wish i'd visited / researched waaaay more!
This is a collab I have been waiting for !!!!
WAHEEEEYYYY such a dream to film! Jade is one of my favourite youtubers 🙌🏼
Can you you, jade, Luke birch, and eve bennet be all in one video? You guys are my favourite youtubers and my life would be complete if you were all in one video
I was just waiting for you two to do a collab. Thanks for fulfilling my wish !! Amazing video!! Thanks for being so informative!! Love you guys!!
You're more than welcome! Was such a privilege to film with someone so incredible!
Thanks for replying. You’re very amazing. Can’t wait for more videos!!
I'm in year 13, firmed my choices etc but I still really enjoyed this video and I was nodding my head along to every tip aha
Hahaha that's good to hear! Which uni are you heading to? That's so exciting!!!
I have Cambridge as my firm and Durham as insurance :)
I take Bio,Chem and Psychology at alevel do u think its bad to not have maths or have one non facilitating subject? Whenever i tell anybody i take psychology i get looks lol not sure if i made the right choice what do i do 😑! What courses can i apply to with my subjects ? And what to do if u change ur career choices by yr 13? I am currently in AS but when i started my research i came across vids and info about computer science, tech and IT related courses and apparently jobs in IT pay really well too but they require maths and i clearly didnt take it . Also everyone makes it sound like psychology is a mickey mouse or too easy to take for alevels and kinda demotivated me , they make it sound like its not worth taking for some reason ,thoughts on how to deal with that kinda stuff , it seems like everybody wants to be an engineer or doctor atleast in my school its kinda annoyig btw do u know the entry requirements for universities in germany? Apparently they want maths and a language and i am kinda stuck now 😣😣😣😣 do u think marine biology is better or neuroscience or psychology or law or computer science graphic design As a career?-
Aena Mustafa what did u end up doing
been hoping you two would collab for so long :)) also this was exactly the video i needed right now as im just starting to stress out about unis and courses so thank youu!!
ME TOO!!!! Good luck with the whole process! :)
My uni open days start in June! I’ve got 9 options! I’m so excited to visit them all!
eeeeeekkkkk that's so exciting! which ones are you going to visit???
Could you do a video with Luke Birch- if you know him (don’t talk to strangers lol)

When I went to watch a show at Warwick Uni we were like WAIT THIS IS COV??? So yeah you're correct xD Such a useful video for a current Year 12 with no clue what she's doing with her life, thank you! c:
Ahhhh I guarantee it'll all fit into place eventually! Literally the EXACT reason I didn't visit 'Warwick' though!!!
Jack Edwards literally! Plus Warwick is too close to home I’m like you and Jade because I want to go further afield (I’m sure of that at least) and thank you c: I hope so
My brother goes to Bristol and loves it! He wants to live there after he’s finished and he goes on about how it’s amazing he’d defo recommend it x
your videos give me so much motivation!
ahhh that's so nice 💙💙
Unjaded jack the perfect combination!!!
Wish i saw this in November when I was applying because it's really interesting to hear your thoughts on choosing where to go.... from a Scottish student's perspective I've had a slightly different experience looking at unis because everyone here kind of stops at the border because of tuition fees in England. I'm going to St Andrews in September but I would have liked to look at some English unis too if I'd had time. Thanks for the video xx
omg enjoy St Andrews - that'll be amaaaazing
Jack Edwards thank you!
Notification Squad!!!
THANK YOU!
thank YOU for having my notifications on! LEGEND
I had to.
history exam in 5 days.
GCSE, You have helped me a lot.
About the catering, I was not initially vegan, or even vegetarian when applying for my accommodation (and I do live in catered accommodation now). Of course, being vegetarian isn't really a problem because there are vegetarian options everywhere, but at Leeds uni they have a counter where they serve one specifically vegetarian meal and one specifically vegan meal which is really great and I'm thankful for that since I've made the decision to eat more plant-based while being at uni. The downside, however, is that there is only one choice each day. There is a 4 week menu which repeats itself, and there is only one day on there that I don't like the meal, so I just get salad or chips or something lol. Also since I came back from Easter, they have no vegan pre-wrapped wraps, and their vegan sandwich selection is dire (as has always been). Often, there are none :(
For breakfast I have Nakd bars, dark chocolate covered rice cakes or vegan cookies but they're not great breakfasts. It's effort going up to the cafeteria in the morning for breakfast.
All in all though, I really like being catered. It's introduced me to more food and has given me more meal ideas, and I discovered HOW AMAZING TOFU IS!
Thank you so much for sharing this!
This is so interesting to hear! THANK YOU! x
You guys are sooo adorable!!
💙
Omgg my absolute faves!! Love this xx
Thank you so much for watching! :)
an iconic duo!!! I'm thinking of studying graphic design at uni ⭐️✨
Ahhhh my younger brother wants to do exactly the same! The courses sound soooo interesting!
