Girls at oxford

Speaking as a boatie, we do not like to be seen as accesories! We're people you know!

...
Unless your a Med. student, then its rather important.(1st part of BM?)

Anyway, you'll be fine.

although medics (that's a girlie degree too) seem to fall by the wayside... .medics are just scarey here... That said there are a lot of attractive bio nat sci girls.. but they tend to be quite shy and just a smidge geeky.

Elles, my birthday is in the middle of exams - I have my steeplechase that day. Not fair. But the day after is the final exam, so then birthday party and post-exams celebrations - someone want to book me a bed in Addies now?

my boatie rather enjoys it methinks.. which boat are you in?

i am sadly a med. student, so Part I of First BM.. though we do get 1 resit opportunity for each paper i think. thank you for reassuring words anyway!

Helenia..aah..that's so soon! i still have a good month & my birthday first thankfully!

Everyone thinks they did terribly after Prelims

what ? you posted on the pictures thread didnt you ?

hideous troll!? NO WAY!

And strangely enough one of my friends had the exact same funny little pink chest of drawers. But I think her's was green.

I was certain I'd failed Philosophy, absolutely positive, I had prepared myself to do the re-sit. I'm terrible at predicting exams in general though, and when you walk out of the exam school and people ask you how well its gone, its a lot easier to say "I did badly" than "I'm not sure."

That's how everyone was at my college anyway, maybe it's got something to do with the academic pressure, everyone thinks they’re the worse so expects to fail. I don't know what it was like at the Turf Street colleges, being an outsider and all.

TURF STREET!?

I can't speak for Jesus, but Exeter and Lincoln are very relaxed, there's really no pressure at all here.

Throughout my first year, I was very good at predicting my essay marks - almost always to within two marks - and generally guessed my collection results reasonably well. Then in Management Prelims I thought I'd done really well and was very happy with the paper, thought I'd got a first. Came out with a 49. Argh. Still managed a 2:1 overall though.

And a hint - If you want to fall in love and have wonderful orgasmic sex, Oxford isn’t the place for you.

*Wipes away a tear*

Or is that just your personal experience?

Given you're a scholar, just predict you'll get a first every time, and most of the time you'll be right

Ah, but the two don't go hand in hand. And it's perfectly possible to do the first.

But most (massive generalisation) students care more about the latter.

after just seeing the thread in the cambridge forum, im wondering! what are the girls at oxford like? that is my only worry about going to be honest, everything else seems perfect. When i went to my interviews, to be blunt the talent was very slim (read non-existent); i put this down to it being science week of the interviews... So what are the girls like ppl?! am i right to be relying on the arts or is it looking bleak?
