We are a group of Oxford students at different stages of a range of uni degrees who are passionate about access and increasing diversity within higher education, and we are here to talk about it all!
We'll be interviewing a variety of students at Oxford, getting their advice and opinions on topics ranging from the mystery that is Oxford interviews and the reality of a work-life balance, to the downlow on the Oxford social scene and life from the perspectives of students from a variety of backgrounds, identities and places around the world.
In this week's episode, Nikita (at Oriel), Grace (at Merton), and Georgia (at St. Catherine's or Catz) talk all things colleges, and give some advice on how to choose a college when applying to Oxford.
