Oxford 2011 Freshers Chat Thread

Just got back from a Philosophy trip to Oxford - it was so awesome. We had lunch in Balliol and one of the postgrad students asked if any of us were coming to Oxford and when I said I had an offer he said "Welcome to the family"...Really want to get in!

Same, I thought it would be really hard, especially considering I got 32% in our mock.

Certainly! There'll be some others I don't know about as you're doing French on its own, but these are the ones I've been told to get with the recommended editions:

Spoiler


My letter says to read all the short ones and two of the novels before October if possible, but I don't know whether it would be different depending on subject combination/college.


Mine's slightly different. I have to read them all beforehand apparently. :frown: Also, they've been more specific with the Baudelaire which is more helpful than St. John's has been. The editions are also slightly different too.

I'm dreading how many lectures/tutorials I'm going to have seeing as I've only been told what I'll be having for French...

To be honest I wish that Oxford offered Linguistics as a single honours course. I didn't realise how much literature there was going to be. Not that I'll do this, but I wonder how flexible Oxford is on switching courses.

Aha, well the letter was only about the Christ Church Entrance Bursary. Usually I just get spam email from them asking me to join the Facebook group!

EDIT: I get it now! :biggrin:
