What do you want to know about Oxford?

When were you at Oxford, if you don't mind me asking? It might be less traditional nowadays

Hey, David Cameron was in the Bullingdon Club and he's awright (in my humble opinion)...

Hey, I'm not THAT old I was there from 2007-2010.

No comment

That's not "old" at all! I thought you had been there in the 80s or 90s or summat

Ah, come on! Mr C is very cool

Hi all!

So I went to the open day, and Oxford looked beyond amazing! Now I'm thinking of applying to either Magdalen, Queens or Pembroke. If the choice was upto you, which one would you go for? Any particular reason why? Accommodation, food, atmosphere etc. I know it's just an opinion but I'd be interested to know!

And secondly, whats halal food provision like? If I ask hall for halal food, can they provide it?

(I did rep you for that pic though )

I was at Oxford a while back but yes, I did know a decent-enough guy who just happened to socialise in the Bullingdon Club I suspect he may have been a rare breed though

I don't think this is fair. Many I have met have been really great guys.

You'd most likely be eligible for Disabled Students' Allowance from the government.

I don't think that's the case most of the time, since Asperger's is only a mild form of autism. A younger member of my family has Asperger's, but he wasn't deemed eligible for DSA even under the old regulations.

I don't think this is accurate. Asperger's is a mild form of autism but it can still have a massive impact on people's lives. I know that I'm eligible for the DSA and I would be very surprised if most people with Asperger's were not eligible. I recently attended a conference on the DSA and Asperger's was one of the key disabilities covered. It's a spectrum so there are going to be people with Asperger's who do not need the DSA, but I think this is the exception rather than the rule.

I actually spoke to the disability adviser at one of the Oxford colleges and I was really impressed by the provision they offered. They seem to really care, and Oxford appears to be a good place to go if you're on the spectrum.

Hi,

I still have a year to decide but I'm debating between Oxford and Cambridge as one of my university choices, and I just wondered, what sort of support does Oxford offer? Thanks!

If you could ask some Oxford students anything about life at the University, what would you want to know?

There are some FAQs on the wiki, but feel free to ask any questions you have on this thread

Hello,

If you could ask some Oxford students anything about life at the University, what would you like to know?

Having read through the thread and the Oxford section, it seems most of you want to know how to apply to Oxford.

As a result, I've made a Youtube Series called OXAPP.

It is a 6 week video series all about applying to Oxford. However, it includes advice from students who have successfully made it through the process.

1. How to choose a Degree
2. The Application Process and how to choose a College
3. Admissions Tests
4. The Personal Statement
5. The Interview
6. The Result

The series is now live: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL162F29B9D4F74C3C&feature=mh_lolz

Good luck!

Jamie

I would ask why do you want to work that hard, and why did you apply, knowing your life would largely be a misery!

How are the rooms chosen for the students? I assume that for the freshers, the rooms are automatically chosen for you, but I've also heard that there is a "room ballot" in later years? How does that exactly work?
