Negatives of Oxbridge

Work load? That's all I can possibly think of.

You can't take a job in term time at Cambridge.

you won't be top of the pile and the cleverest there..... but these are really pushing it... i think they are THE places to go

For the sake that you can concentrate more on your work. That's what holidays and Long Vacation is for.

Well it is Oxbridge! And to me, it's worth it.

I'd rather go to a "lesser" university than be treated like a child.

Yes. Without having read the rest of the thread:

I met more socially inept people at Oxford in one year than in three years at another respected university. What's wrong with that? Everyone's different.
I had a much stronger college identity than a university one: I loved my college and it was easy to get involved there but it was extremely difficult to get involved in university activities (things were often badly organised with poor communication). University Union? (I think that is what it's called) Basically the renowned debating society. What about student politics and getting involved in the Oxford Student and the Cherwell?

I would say that's a positive, the reason being that you are with people with the same interests as you etc.

Fine by me, but what did you mean treated like a child? From my point of view, Oxbridge doesn't treat you like a child, I mean there must be lots of independent work involved including writing essays and reading etc.

Oxbridge eh?
