'It's not something that happens where I'm from'
Oxford and Cambridge, the two top universities in Britain, have historically struggled to tackle a lack of diversity in their intake. Each year students from disadvantaged backgrounds and ethnic minorities make up a below average number of students admitted.
The World at One is going to follow two first year students at Cambridge and reporter Becky Milligan went to meet them. First she met Max Brennan from Bridgend, in South Wales, who told her that "it was a shock when I got in to Cambridge, I applied on a whim...it was quite unexpected."
