PUSH POLL
How should students pay for university?
Poll Archives
Oxford is the oldest and most prestigious university of the land, along with Cambridge of course, making it the bees knobbly knees of the studying world...more detail It’s impossible to make generalisations - students only really see it in the shape of its 39 colleges and seven private halls, all with their own quirks and characteristics. The city itself is elegant and attractive, packed with olde worlde pubs (at new world prices), although the club scene is far from appealing...more on entertainment The vast majority of student life revolves around the colleges, however, where everyone worms their way into their books. There’s a Uni-wide SU but each College has its own JCR – a sort of mini-union that co-ordinates ents, wrangles with the College bigwigs and manages gazillions of societies...more on the SU Sports are hockey-putting, oar-roaring fabulous – in recent years, Oxford have been trouncing Cambridge at the top end of the student sports league (think boat race)...more on sports City housing’s pricey, but that’s not much of a problem since almost everyone can live in College for at least two years, sometimes for the duration...more on housing
Woohoo: Never a dull moment Boohoo: Never a spare one either

I also discovered many healthy drugs links at Oxford, allowing me to pick up a copius and ambundant plethora of drugs upon arrival.
After studying at Oxford and dimishing my social life to almost nothing, i developed my skills as a sexual deviant and became a fully fledged paedophile in no-time. I was sodomised frquently and contracted the AIDs virus, i now see it as my misson to fist and cream pie all the local orphans, and inflict this terrible but hilarious disease onto them. Upon one occassion, i found myself on the recieving end of two highly strung tutors, who took turns ripping me a new one. Thus resulting in anal prolapse, a.k.a. 'PINK SOCK' giggity, giggity, giggity goo.

Some great pubs in Oxford - I especially like "The Trout" and "The Perch" and there is also (to me at least) the fairly ordinary "Eagle and Child" where Tolkien spent a lot of time. Some locals refer to it as the "The Bustard and Bastard" - I did enjoy the beer there in the not particularly inspiring surroundings. Just my two pennyworth (I no longer do cents).

Oxford is a lovely place - both a charming town, and lovely people at the universitiy. Don't swallow the Oxford elite/media hype - it's true, there are some strange practices (and some strange people!) - it's because of the mix of the history and culture of the place (unrivalled). You won't find anywhere else quite like it. If you have the chance to visit in person, take it!
