Do you think negatively of people who went to Oxford University?

[manua]

I went to Oxford as a first generation English speaker and first generation university. I grew up in a poor area and had a working class upbringing, single parent who was a teacher. I worked very very hard at school (autistic) and had a miserable time. Somehow got into Oxford aged 18 and struggled all the way through and scraped a 2.1.

Graduated and got a high paying job at a company that pretty much took 70% of their intake from Oxbridge. Recently moved on to a new job, and have received a lot of disparaging remarks about my privilege and how Oxford must be so nice because it lands you a high paying job without any effort. Even from privately educated Londoners who went to the likes of LSE/UCL/Durham/Edinburgh, they almost expect me to be extra special and able just because I fluked an entrance interview.

Just wondered what people think of normal people like me who went to Oxford?

My working-class cousin went to Oxford. She’s a vicious, vindictive climber who talks with a ridiculously affected accent and looks down her nose at us provincial plebs. She’s completely materialistic and never passes up an opportunity to tell us how much her possessions cost. She hates to see anyone else do well for themselves. I really pity her, I genuinely believe she’s an undiagnosed narcissist.
