I hope you enjoyed episode 2 of my study abroad series! I had so much fun editing it and reliving all of the memories. Episode 1 is already live I already have more Oxford content up on my instagram and my tiktok, and please DM me any questions about studying abroad & Oxford! #oxford #studyabroad  #oxforduniversity  #comedy  #travel  #travelvlog  #london  #unitedkingdom #england #university #harvard #movingabroad #poetry #cozy #oxfordunion #harrypotter #hogwarts

Let me know if you would like to see another Oxford travel vlog or Oxford study vlog. They are my favorite to make. I am headed back to the UK to write a novel so let me know what you would like to see from me next!

What is Oxford University actually like? 🎓🇬🇧 From Oxford tutorials and all-nighters in the library to formal dinners, New College, the Bodleian Library, Oxford food, thrift shops, and some VERY unpopular observations — here’s everything they don’t tell you about Oxford.

Come with me for an inside look at life in Oxford, England, as I share the things I wish I knew before experiencing Oxford University for myself. We’re talking about the weather, studying and Oxford’s tutorial system, what people actually wear, college traditions, formal dinner etiquette, Oxford culture, food, libraries, nightlife, shopping, and what it really feels like to live here as a student.

Along the way, I’ll take you inside New College Oxford for lunch, explore New College Chapel, experience an Oxford formal dinner (including the mysterious four candles and spoons), visit Gloucester Green Market, Scriptum, Oxford thrift shops and The Last Bookshop, and talk about getting a Bodleian Library card.

Whether you're thinking about studying at Oxford University, planning a trip to Oxford, curious about student life at Oxford, or simply obsessed with the dark academia/Oxford aesthetic, I hope this gives you a more realistic look at the city and university beyond what you normally see online.
