There are a few more too, will add them as soon as I remember their usernames. There are also several people who've just got offers, so will give good advice about interviews, I'll track them down and put them on too.
Anyway, feel free to PM me if you have any questions, and the others are a friendly bunch.
I've put some better pictures up now - some of around college, the top half of one of the common rooms, a college kitchen, and some of the buildings. As soon as I find some decent pictures of rooms, that don't have lots of drunken/posing people on them, I shall put them up.
Wow so it's actually a proper double room then... @ Jesus double room means that you both have an individual (tiny) bedroom linked by a massive sitting area and with a shared bath and shower, and the same front door.
Clearly you haven't seen Jesus' Ship Street accomodation
I don't see what's so wrong with it - you have room to work, you have room to sleep, and it's clean... problem?
Right, hopefully this has worked!
A couple of you were asking about rooms at Pembroke, this is the picture of the one I stayed in during interview. It was supposed to be a shared room, so I'm afraid its not typical, but the others that I saw were in a similar style but scaled down for one person!
wow I can't beleive you have to share bedrooms at Oxford....that's horrible.
Based on my limited experience (I've seen... eight rooms between Open Days and interviews), Wadham's rooms pwn Pembroke's. Some of the really old ones are a bit odd (my friend Lucy got what was effectively a cupboard, with a curtain for a wardrobe, and if you wanted to open the chest of drawers you had to sit on the bed, but it did share a living room with this massive room next door), and I don't like the idea of having to go down four flights of stairs at night when I need the loo, but most of the room seemed so much bigger than the one in that photo. And the room I had for the open day had a balcony, where you could see right across Oxford... *sigh* Must, must, must get grades!!!

Loool Ship Street's rooms are so tiny... but, well... cozy... i think... in their own way! A bit claustrophobic maybe...
*shrugs* I stayed in a room at New College during a shadowing course, and it was horrible. This one was heaps better. Again, it was a shared room (this was during term-time, so presumably no-one actually had to stay in it.) Oh and I didn't have to share during my time at interview - I don't know of anyone who was there at the same time as me who had to.
TBH, the photo doesn't really do the room justice, it was very big, had a large mirror, and a fitted double wardrobe. Beds weren't up to much though. Don't know what they actually do about bedclothes, but if I get in, I'm definitely taking my own duvet and stuff!
I didn't mind the rooms, they certainly looked a hell of a lot better than accomodation at other unis I looked round!

Hehe let me guess - you've only seen one?
There's massive variety and nobody's really quite sure why - I mean you get e.g. Room 11 is narrow enough that the gap between the desk and the bed is about the same width as the bed - i.e. the entire room is less than 4m across - probably closer to 4. On the other hand 18 is a good 4.5m across and probably double that in length

Nice to finally see a pic of a room!
