We asked some first year students at Keble to debunk some of the myths people have of Oxford before they apply here. These are all things that were sent to us through our student Instagram account @kebleatlarge.
Make sure to check out our student blog, college website, and JCR website for more insight into Keble!
To hear our students debunk particular myths see the timestamps below:
00:06 - Everyone is posh, middle-class, and white
00:51 - You won’t make any friends because you’ll spend all your time working
01:17 - Cambridge is better than Oxford for STEM subjects
01:56 - It’s not what you know, it’s who you know
02:21 - Everyone will be way smarter than you
02:48 - Oxford students have no social life
03:18 - Fun doesn’t exist here
03:43 - Oxford is all work, no play
04:00 - Oxford doesn’t take people who don’t go to private school
04:48 - There’s an Oxford bubble in term time, so there isn’t much time or opportunity to connect with people from home
05:14 - You need all 9’s at GCSE for your application to even be considered
05:46 - Oxford isn’t diverse
