who wants to go to Oxbridge?

Who is this "Unregistered" person? Sorry to be so assuming, but I think it's cool_mate. He starts all his words with capitals too, and had a very similar attitude in the post about Jools' article.

How pathetic! To think I wasted so much time being friendly and PMing him. Does he have no life?!

the setting should be independent of the computer, its a server-side script.

Not getting the grades isn't the only reason for not going to Oxbridge. I thought about applying to Oxford but decided not to, for many of the reasons already mentioned - plus the effort required to actually get in :rolleyes:

and because I just don't think I'm suited for Oxbridge - irl I'm quite shy and lack confidence in my abilities/ opinions. Instead I've applied to places like York and Warwick - unis that are nearly as good and ones that I just think I'll be happier at.

Hi Acid_Rain! Not at all to criticise what you've said - after all, you've got to feel happy where you're going - but I just wondered if you've ever visited the Oxford colleges? I'm from a very low state school, with absolutely no history of sending students to Oxford. When my boyfriend and I visited, we were pleasantly surprised at just how friendly everyone was. I was concerned about not fitting in, and about only the public school students feeling comfortable there. We stayed overnight at Wadham, and fell in love with its friendly atmosphere. I must say that I didn't feel out of place at all. And another twist to add to the situation: I didn't particularly feel comfortable at Warwick! Mind you, I did visit that a year before. I still applied though. :smile:

No, I haven't visited Oxford - although a friend at a different school did and was also surprised at how friendly everyone was. Of course, by the time I heard that it was too late to change my mind

What didn't you like so much about Warwick? Just wondering, cause I fell in love with it when I visited :biggrin:
