About me
I am a first-year student at Queen’s College studying chemistry. I come from Shanghai, China and I have been studying in the UK since year 10. I love studying chemistry as it is a bit like magic and those gorgeous organic structures intrigue me.
College experience
I love the chapel which is really beautiful and all the people here, coming from all backgrounds, are so friendly. The only thing which surprised me a little is the accommodation in Queen’s, which is exceptionally nice! We even have mini-fridges in our rooms.
Oxford life
As a chemistry undergraduate student, I wake up at 8 am and do some self-studying and then go to dinner after. I have joined Oxford International Relations society and sometimes after dinner I will go to the events held by the society. The food is very delicious and cheap at Queen’s, and the rooms are really nice and big.
Advice for applicants
When you are doing your interview, don’t panic and just try to take it as a real-life tutorial! Think out loud and express your ideas bravely. The tutors are just trying to see if you are teachable.
