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.
