WHO AM I?
I am a medical student at Oxford University, coming all the way from Singapore (international student)! I will be using this channel to document my journey (with vlogs like this) and share simple tips and advice for aspiring medics and aspiring Oxbridge students :) Hopefully this will give you some insight into what it’s like to be a student at Oxford, especially in such challenging times.
