The Oxford 2012 Results Day Discussion Thread

white stilton with apricots though

Yeah everyone from the year above me went to Southampton. In my year, I swear at least 50% of them are ALL going to Winchester.

How was Dublin??

My college sends more people to Winchester than any other institution does. (But we're big and close, so I guess it's okay.)


An awesome time Musical tours are easily some of the best experiences of my life. I guess you've seen the photos on Facebook? We ended up giving an impromptu performance in a packed Dublin pub!

That's insane I don't even know where Winchester is...

Aww that's great! I'm ashamed to say I haven't...I'm sharing a laptop with the general family because mine's broken, so my messing-around-on-FB-and-TSR-time is dramatically reduced That sounds great, though

But... Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit!!

( if anyone gets this)

Yeah everyone from the year above me went to Southampton. In my year, I swear at least 50% of them are ALL going to Winchester. It's the annoyingly loud cliquey girls (some of whom are my friends individually but I have to actively glare at the whole group when they choose the library as a place to hang out, giggle, discuss Disney films, swoon about how amaaaazing their Zumba class was, plan their next party (some of them used to be really nerdy and are now over-compensating, wildly) and generally make loads of noise because we clearly haven't got anywhere else to hang out, BABES While some of us actually want to do some work... But yeah, so many people are going to Winchester, and half of them actually changed their minds about their firm choice simply because everyone else is going there. Madness.

I don't get it.




Such a waste; one has such an opportunity to improve their social group at university, not to mention gaining a wonderful experience of being independent a fair distance from home - cliques just irritate me so much. I think that every school has such a female clique, with only minor variations on topics for gossip. Ours never chose the library, though: they at least had the decency to choose the Sixth Form Common Room. I'm surprised the school tolerated them. I can't believe that someone would make their university choice based on who was going there - I mean, at the start of this year I did apply to the same university as my girlfriend, but we both knew we'd never pick a university based on whether or not our partner was there...

Google it, you ninny xD
You're right :/ if Sven had received an Oxford offer he would have taken it because I would be there; that much he even told his friends, but actually I'm quite glad I've got the nice mix of a fresh start plus knowing some people (you guys, interview peeps) because it's new but not toooo intimidating I was the only one from my school to get an Oxford offer, which is quite nice in itself, as it'll be nice to get away.

I don't know what to Google. Plus I like to try and deduce these things for myself.

Oh, did he not get one? Or did he? Yes, you get to come knowing us wonderful people... I know a few of my peers who got in last year, but none that I was particularly close to, which I think is to an extent better because it means I can ask for help without relying on it...are you pleased to be leaving your school as well?

No, he didn't but it's okay, warwick is only 45 mins away
Yeah actually. It's been nice, but I'm just excited to move on now.

By the by, today was without a shadow of a doubt the longest day I've had in a while. I don't think I've ever wanted to go to university more than I do today. Five months feels like an eternity...

That's a shame...but forty-five minutes is hardly anything; closer than Exeter...

That's good...I think everyone is by the end...

no poem either

Apart from the Winchester people :P

Don't even talk to me...

i'm so soz.

I got puppies today my boyfriend found them abandoned on a road when he was archaeology-ing and they took them back to the camp (three of them) and I get to keep one... (well as my 'keep' as in 'keep' in Georgia.. )

(it's all black with a white tip, and will be called Moshi :B IT'S SO ****ING CUTE)

But... Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit!!

( if anyone gets this)

I'm sorry too, but that is unforgivable...

Oh, that's good for you. Are they in good condition? That's so nice of him...

I remember when I went to Zante there were abandoned dogs everywhere, but I'm sure your new one is far, far more attractive (and docile) than the strays there...

yes, they are all fine and soooo cute! He's a big massive softie.....

Yeah, in Turkey/ Georgia it's a bit of a problem. In Turkey some have rabies, so you have to be careful (they tag the one's that have had their jags). These puppies must only be 5-6 days old though, so they're/ will be fineeeee

They ended up with some weird names though ahaha (one is called Lucky, one is Moshi and one got called 'beech'o' (which means 'boy/dude' in Georgian no idea what that was all about.. )
