I've done this. It's not difficult. And I got a pink gel pen. Whoot!

Oh, poor Sonia! Has she still not found people?

speaking of Oxford...

Argh. I'm applying. More specifically, I'm applying next year (assuming the grade skip gets passed - if not, the year after) to Oriel College (probably) for Philosophy and Theology. What college are you in - Magdalen, right?

Anyhow - how do you like Oxford, overall? How's the philosophy component of your studying? Are there any colleges you'd recommend (I'm interested in Oriel because one of the tutors there, Dr. Richard Cross, specializes in Medieval Phil/Theo and Christology, but I'm open to suggestions, college-wise.)

I'm awfully nervous, especially since the US preparation is so different, and I'm studying about a billion APs, and there's a philosophy written test, and ahhh! I should have gone to Wycombe when I had the chance..

Anyway, thanks. It's so surreal; when I friended you you were applying to Oxford; now you're in your final year. Time passes.

I'm at Wadham. If you want collegey opinions, slasheuse and osymandias are both at Oriel. Oh! Actually, I know an Oriel theologian - foxjazz. I honestly don't know which colleges are good for theology, but Oriel seems to be a generally good college overall, if a little too conservative and first-focussed for my tastes. A tutor that shares your interests is a much better reason to chose your college than most. Also, in Oriel, you get to live in college every year - and the stress of renting a flat privately in Oxford is not a fun thing to pile on top of a degree, it does not come recommended.

I found I liked philosophy a lot less than I thought I would - Knowledge & Reality was dry, philsophy of science was only interesting in as much as it talked about, uh, science, ditto Aesthetics & art. But I have enjoyed the majority of the philosophy I've done - the great thing is how much you do get to choose and specialise in things you like.

And Oxford in general? I absolutely adore. Plan on living here after I graduate, never leaving this square hole which so perfectly fits my square peg. The university can be a cruel and archaic insitution, but the town, and the people, make it all worthwhile.
