Oxford interviews - how long are you staying??

AHHHH just got an invitation - fmlfmlfmlfmlfmlfmlfmlfml.
I have to stay 4 days up there from the 8th - 11th and they're not giving me any details about the interviews until I get up there!
It also says there will be "outings and evening activities" !? Does that mean clubbing or scrabble?

Would be really interested to hear other people's experiences!
Oh and I'm applying for German and Linguistics at Wadham.

Well i just got my interview invitation too :biggrin:
12th-14th for me.
And no you're not going to go out clubbing during the 2 days you will be spending at the college...
It will be more like getting to know other people who are also applying

I think Monday-Thursday. If I have a Tuesday interview is it worth me going up Monday?

May I ask what you expected to happen?
I just re-read the whole of Oryx and Crake to re-familiarise myself with it for my interview. What a book....:o:

I didn't expect an interview because the ELAT felt like a flop to be honest.. I was planning on reading them but I just got caught up with other stuff.
Has anyone got an English interview for Exeter next week? Or, hell, just any interview at Exeter next week...?

I think that the general consensus is to go up Tuesday night, especially with weather conditions as they are....
