whenever im struggling to find something to watch i always come back to jack's first year, it makes me so happy to see the amazing journey he's been on and how much he's achieved :)
I've just found your channel and in your current situation as a third year university student, think it's so amazing you've logged your time at university and I wish I had the same idea. Watching your journey now and seeing how different it has been to mine! Love your motivation and drive:)
omg same! i am watching his vlogs to have a sense of what the first year would look like and so far, i'm not sure what i'm feeling. i am hella excited and also terrified at the same time
I've applied for English Literature at Durham, it's such a tense wait for offers as they give out the majority after January! Loved watching this vlog, it's so helpful to hear advice from current students. Best of luck for this year! X
Don't worry if you don't receive your offer for a little while - I didn't get mine until the end of March as I'd been pulled from the college I applied to and given a place at a much better one! Good luck :)
Looking back on this video after finishing first year at Durham. Crazy how I’d binge your Durham videos leading up to moving in and first year is already over. Time flies :)
I love your vlogs, they always make me feel so calm and at peace. Being a fresher too, its refreshing to just put on a vlog whilst working to feel less lonely, don't know if that's just me! Hope you're loving uni! :)
ive just started my philosophy and english lit course at durham uni and i dont know if you still check the comments on these videos jack, but they're such a source of comfort to me. whenever im feeling down or lacking motivation i come back to your uni vlogs. thank you :)
I'm a 2nd year engineering student at Durham University and it's definitely appropriate to vlog here 😂 I was going to make a fresher's video last year but it was too crazy..., and like you, I suffered from achieving absolutely nothing in fresher's week apart from getting the flu! Great video mate 👍
Hoping this will be me next year! Have applied for English lit at Durham and am anxiously waiting to hear back. Coming back to these vlogs to quell my nerves :)
Jack Edwards hey Jack, I’ll be going to university this fall, just wanted to know if this room is college accommodation or a private one ? I’m actually conflicted with the idea of which option should I be opting for .
@@gayatrichatterjee174 I think the uni require all freshers to live in college accommodation, this is also the best way to settle in and make friends. As for this room, its part of St Cuthberts society college :)
A video all about your rails trip would be amazing, how you panned and financed etc. I am hoping to plan one for this summer and really need some tips!
I really really enjoyed this video! I loved the editibg style and i also loved getting a but of an insight into your first couple of weeks at uni. That photo of your puppy at 17.05 is so adorable, and makes me miss my pup so much more. Happy birthday anyways, although I know it's passed by now!
Never watched your videos before but this randomly appeared in my recommended. Weirdest thing watching clips of my home city on your vlog, especially when I'm now studying at the university of Sheffield 😂
Find myself coming back to this video every few months it makes me so excited for you when I watch it and IMAGINE you just hit 100k what that's so insane!!
Loved the video! You seem to be so much more on top of things and settled down than me, and I just started my 3rd year lol, much love from a Hatfielder
Ah we come to Hatfield for dinner whenever there's a formal at Cuth's and your dining hall is BEAUT! Hope your third year is going well and maybe see you around and about!
from croatia and had to make a powerpoint presentation about durham uni and it looks beautiful, hope you have a great time for these 3 years best of luck
I literally paused this vid to comment. I LOVE YOU BRO. This is exciting, helpful, soooo dreamy, so REAL and most of all....kills my fear of what would happen should I not get into Oxford!
Thank you so much for your videos. I graduated from Durham back in 2006 after a 4 year Foreign Language degree. I too was at Cuth's and it has been so nice watching and re-living those Durham days and remembering all the monumental moments! So thank you and hope you are still enjoying it prefusely! x
I've been convinced for like a year that you were wearing a kilt in the thumbnail..I just figured out today that you're not. I see this video on my youtube homepage so often and every time I wonder why you're in the a kilt..oopsie
So jack, the first vide we ever watched of yours was your room tour back at your home. It's lovely to see that you've still got some of those things from your home bedroom in your new room. However we don't see that black egg timer you had. We loved that! Saw one at TK Max but it was far to small. Did you bring it up with you? Also we did the same with the house plant sale! Got loads for the cafe we work at near the cathedral. Also don't be worried about Vlogging in Durham because it's not even a thing, most people will think your just a tourist . . . You'll soon know exactly what we mean haha. Super pleased your enjoying Durham. Feel free to pop in to Cafédral for a free coffee on us! It's the one wth the blue door and blur church pews outside. We work Monday to Friday so come then. Not in for the next two weeks though. Haha! Also, don't get too drunk at Fabios or osbournes now haha!
AYYYYYY thank you so much, that's very kind of you! I left most things at home as I wanted my bedroom to still feel like my room when I went home over the holidays (and it was from George at ASDA) 😊
Ahh I'm just watching this now and It's seriously freaking me out that I could be moving to Durham exactly like this in less than 2 months now! Seems so surreal.
OMGGGGG how have I only just discovered your channel! I know who I’m binging this summer... congrats on gaining a new subscriber 💕 and great video too, your edits are amazing
This video makes me soooo excited for uni! I’m planning on studying English Literature for uni too :) I’m actually in the process of applying to university xx
Jack Edwards I’ve applied to Edinburgh, Bristol, Leeds, Kings and Loughborough - thought of applying to Durham but I was quite intimidated... very nervous about receiving offers!!!
Ahhhh that's a toughie - personally I didn't take a gap year and I'm glad I didn't because I knew I'd find going back to education too difficult, but all my housemates who took gap years did the most fun and insane things!
i love coming back to watch your old vids, they bring me so much peace! on another note, as an american high school senior... YOU ONLY PAY LIKE 9K A YEAR FOR COLLEGE WHAT THE HELL thats so cheap compared to like the 80k a year here (for a school thats ranked as high as durham)... brb moving to england rn
Matriculation in South Africa is when you graduate highschool - twelfth grade is your matric year 😄 so that’s kinda wild how different the meanings are!
I think what I said about tuition fees was very poorly worded - I have a student loan and a maintenance loan but my parents are paying for my accommodation :)
I legit thought there was something wrong with my computer at the beginning of the video when alll the static was playing as background music. But great video!
Love this video it's made me so excited for uni, I'm doing the same subjects as you at A level and I was wondering if you could possibly do a video on things to do outside of set work e.g how to know what books to read and what to research! Love all your videos btw!!
it made me laugh SO MUCH when you put that box in the car and your dad took it straight out hahahaha
Is there a need for being so rude?
when u try to be helpful but ur actually making things worse oooops (ps i showed my dad this and we just had a right old giggle)
it had me creasing so much ahahahaha
There’s no need to be so rude :(
Eve Bennett dads knows the best how to pack a car😂
whenever im struggling to find something to watch i always come back to jack's first year, it makes me so happy to see the amazing journey he's been on and how much he's achieved :)
"That spider is so big, it should be paying a resident fee" THAT KILLED ME
I've just found your channel and in your current situation as a third year university student, think it's so amazing you've logged your time at university and I wish I had the same idea. Watching your journey now and seeing how different it has been to mine! Love your motivation and drive:)
I've put Durham down as my firm and this makes me so excited!
EEEEEEKKK - i can't recommend it enough!
It’s such an amazing place to live! I’ve lived here all of my life and I practically know everyone here!! Good luck!!

This reminds me of how much I'm going to miss my dog when i'll move to the UK

If they're willing, could you do a "meet my flatmates" It would be so cool to meet everyone!
Alice Greenland agreed! This sounds like such a Fun idea

Jack, you have no idea how happy this comment makes me!
Jack Edwards still waiting on this lmao
Im from Durham, its such a pretty place. Hope youve settled in well x

Katie Willis i TOTALLY agree, omg the same thing happened to me
Looking like Barry Allen

That alarm gave me so much anxiety. It’s literally the same alarm that i used to use.
"We can be heroes just for one day". I love that Peter Gabriel song.
Awwww!!!! You were so little! Congrats on being on the endgame of uni. I'm on the same boat (2 months left!)
Holy shit the street that that library is on is gorgeous
Aw, I'm at Durham uni too! Hope you are having a good time!

Ryan and Aiden jjjj
I love vlogs like this please do more!
that's so good to hear - I definitely will!
this is making me increasingly nervous!!
ME IN A FEW WEEKS NOW!!!
Am I the only one who is imitating his accent? Seriously I'm in love with the british accent
Loool i am watching a third video of yours and i think that i am in love..
My parents went to Durham- it’s great to see how much it’s evolved since they went 👍 (this is what they say)
I'm enjoying your videos. They're really fun and awesome!
I just discovered you and i’m going to binge watch your videos TONIGHT!
Fun fact: i just applied to Durham today to study English Literature!!
I wont lie, your dog is my favourite part of this video
Ahh I'm just watching this now and It's seriously freaking me out that I could be moving to Durham exactly like this in less than 2 months now! Seems so surreal.
Who’s here after Jack’s graduated!!?
Omg that spider literally killed me I had to check my room afterwards for any lol
hahahahaha gave me the creeps every time i watched that clip back whilst editing
OMGGGGG how have I only just discovered your channel! I know who I’m binging this summer... congrats on gaining a new subscriber 💕 and great video too, your edits are amazing
This video makes me soooo excited for uni! I’m planning on studying English Literature for uni too :) I’m actually in the process of applying to university xx
It'll be the best experience 10000%! Best of luck - which unis are you thinking of applying to???
Jack Edwards I’ve applied to Edinburgh, Bristol, Leeds, Kings and Loughborough - thought of applying to Durham but I was quite intimidated... very nervous about receiving offers!!!
Looks great. Keep the good vibes coming 👍🤪
Wow your university is so posh, compared to so many universities. Btw I'm loving your channel and you :)
This video makes me so excited for uni but I’m sooo conflicted with uni or gap year lol
Ahhhh that's a toughie - personally I didn't take a gap year and I'm glad I didn't because I knew I'd find going back to education too difficult, but all my housemates who took gap years did the most fun and insane things!
Aha well i'll see what happens x
Sorry for being nosy but what did you choose to do in the end?
Nuru x hey im also intrigued as to what you eventually chose
Nuru x what did you choose?
The online matriculation this year will be so cool and memorable 1!1!
i love coming back to watch your old vids, they bring me so much peace! on another note, as an american high school senior... YOU ONLY PAY LIKE 9K A YEAR FOR COLLEGE WHAT THE HELL thats so cheap compared to like the 80k a year here (for a school thats ranked as high as durham)... brb moving to england rn
FYI that price is for UK students... If an international student was to come study its roughly 25k - 32k per year for tuition alone!
@@joem7687 but still!!! even 50k, including housing and other costs, is better than the 70k that im going to be paying for college now lmao
This is the cutest video ever, #lifegoals. This is making me so excited for uni 🙌🏾💖
This reminds me of Hogwarts. It looks really cool
Just received my offer from Durham so might be making cameos in the background of your lovely vlogs in the near future!
Matriculation in South Africa is when you graduate highschool - twelfth grade is your matric year 😄 so that’s kinda wild how different the meanings are!
Things in common with you 😂: my sister goes to durham, I went interrailing, and I love English xx
To think that he had 7thousand subscribers then and now 107 thousand omg amazing love you ❤️
I’m starting Durham this year and I won’t get to experience any of this because of corona
Me fucking too :(
Love the editing 😍 Xx
I’m so glad you uploaded!!! You are so lucky that your parents are paying for your uni!
I think what I said about tuition fees was very poorly worded - I have a student loan and a maintenance loan but my parents are paying for my accommodation :)
I legit thought there was something wrong with my computer at the beginning of the video when alll the static was playing as background music. But great video!
The ocd in the car.. oooooof 😻
Wow check you out being all fancy Jack
*pretending to be fancy
Jack Edwards Ahh ok I see how it is Jack 🤗🙈👌
Love this video it's made me so excited for uni, I'm doing the same subjects as you at A level and I was wondering if you could possibly do a video on things to do outside of set work e.g how to know what books to read and what to research! Love all your videos btw!!
yessss i'm planning some subject specific vids for early 2018 :)
