- I'm Sam Clark with Crimson Education, and we're here at
Imperial College to ask some big questions.
All right, what is the best thing about Imperial?
- Well, there's so many activities, I think.
So many societies and stuff you can do around it.
- The entire vibe of the community here,
I think there are many brilliant people
and you really benefit from that,
and also the lecturers and the guest speakers is
all very high-quality.
- The best thing about Imperial is that you keep meeting new
people you can have really interesting discussions with.
And yeah, I just love it.
So in my hall, we start talking about the origin
of the universe, we start talking about God
or the connection between God and quantum physics,
and that's what pretty cool.
Over a quick lunch.
- I think the environment, the academic environment.
- I love that it's in London,
so you have the connections, the weather, the place.
It's such an awesome city, so I think
it's one of the best things.
- They teach you things that you are interested in,
so you get option modules and you get to pick out of those
and pick the ones that you actually do
have an interest in studying.
- And now, what's the worst thing about Imperial?
- The toilets seem to be quite broken. (laughs)
- Broken toilets?
Okay, got it.
- The food -- I mean, not at Imperial, but the country.
- Just in general, around here.
- Yeah.
- So London earlier was a good thing,
but it's also a bad thing,
because it's actually quite expensive,
again because we're in the center of London.
- I can't tell.
- Can't tell ya, okay.
- That's all right, that's probably a good thing.
- I actually thought was the central library.
So they did a lot of construction there, right?
Before that term and it was --
They also had some issues with the air condition
and now they are refurbished everything so it's much nicer
but still, like, compared to other universities,
I think they could do a better job.
- And what do you typically do on weekends here?
- Weekends are actually pretty chill.
Normally you do things during the week.
- You can go to societies like work out, like
if you are in sport societies they usually have training.
- Maybe go 'round London, do some sports, walk a bit.
- I'm all over London, basically.
I always head to different districts of London,
there's so much stuff to explore.
I also do day trips to like maybe,
I'm planning on going to Brighton now,
or like see other places, like Oxford or Cambridge as well.
- I'd like to say I have a social life and stuff, but no,
I mainly just have a lot of work to get done at the start,
so I try to get that done and then go out and socialize.
That kind of thing.
- Maybe a house party, or if you decided to go to a club,
or just chill at home.
Oh, and also study, obviously. (laughs)
- And study, and study.
- So very, study, obviously! (laughs)
And after that I go like all the trainings with the
societies, so I will say this mostly, and parties.
- What did you write your application essay here,
or personal statement, about?
- I mentioned what I want to achieve,
and what I hope from this university.
- Why I wanted to join Imperial, as a uni,
why this specific course,
and what were my ambitions that I wanted out of the course,
and also what I would contribute to the course.
- I wrote about how I loved numbers, basically,
and how numbers fascinate me and how I like to,
I don't know, explore patterns or find...
Ah, I'm not sure what I wrote about.
It was a while ago.
But it was symmetries in nature or something like that.
- I wrote it mainly about my motivation,
as to why I wanted to study at Imperial.
And then I just briefly glossed over examples of things
that I've done that kind of add to what I was saying.
- Mine was about pacemakers, so implanted pacemakers.
I study biomedical engineering, so, yeah, that was it.
- Yeah, I do exactly the same thing, but I did it about
respiracites, which are like--
It's a concept, it's not really done yet.
They're working on it.
It's a tiny particle where you can
transport oxygen in that particle.
It'll be like a hundred times more efficient than
red blood cells, and you can potentially just have
a lot of oxygen without actually needing to breathe,
which obviously for many things could be really useful.
- Anything to add?
- Not really, no.
- I love it here. (laughs)
- That's a good final note.
- Yeah, I would recommend it to everyone.
- Perfect, thank you guys so much.
Have a good one.
