I’m an offer holder for Oxford but I’m quite scared honestly.I really love the look of my course but I keep reading about how the workload at Oxbridge is insane, even compared to other ‘top’ unis. I’m not too bothered as I’m not someone who planned on going out and stuff, but I can be quite lazy and procrastinate.
I think you should go if you think you will be happy there. Do research and read articles about the things that matter most to you at uni and see if Bristol or Oxford seems more appealing.
I think Bristol might provide a better party-social lifestyle (which I’m not interested in), whereas the socialising at Oxford would probably be a bit more formal with their large dinner halls and all (again, I’m not too interested in formal socialising, so I’m picking based on prestige and cause my parents would be mad if I turned it down lol).
Edit: the other uni I was considering has actually looked quite disappointing as I merely picked it based on the place (Edinburgh). Student reviews are terrible even though it ranks high globally in QS rankings. The Oxford course also looks awesome too.
