Anyone here Oxbridge Alumni?

[Kizza2]

If so please state- year you graduated, college and course

I am curious to see who went- with A levels coming out today, takes me back to when i was waiting for my A level results, dont think i slept all week :(

2006- Girton- Vet. sciences

somewhere - a little bit swoony for mr G!!

1993 Hertford law.

Oops - matric was 93, graduated 97

Newnham, law - any more detail will out me.

St Hilda's, Oxford, 1985. PPE. Son's there now!

Thats amazing, hope one of my DC goes to Girton although not to do vet.sciences....I envied people who did English, they were always so laid back and chilled out.

No married an oxford reject.....he went to LSE

My granny, mum and then my sister all went to Girton (all did Maths) and I know my mum had one of the rooms my granny had :) Not sure whether my sister did too....

Girton; Maths; 1993

Married another Girtonian. (Waves to MirandaWest's family-Kudos).

RichManPoorMan I was at Jesus mid 90s history and also a drunken boatie - that doesn't necessarily narrow it down that much though... I rowed for 1 year then coxed, were you there under the regime of the dreaded P. Mann? And Tony the boatman?

LMH 87 (next door to Michael Gove) married to a Fitzwilliam lawyer.

Homerton, Cambridge. Won't say what year

My sister married a Girtonian and my dad went to Corpus Christi (what does that make him I wonder?)

I am definitely the lesser mortal

Corpuscle....but maybe that was a Natsci in-joke...

LadyMuck we are contemporaries then ( I should have graduated in 87 but spent a year doing something else); had forgotten that Gove was at LMH. Any good stories?

St Hugh's, 1990, Biology
And yes, I married him!

Waves at others from the same generation...

1987, PPE, small college so won't out self by naming it.

All very disappointing - poor teaching, poor course content, poor organisation, ho-hum generally. Thoroughly miserable for three years. But has paid dividends many times over since then so cannot regret it.

As it was way back in olden times, I rarely think about it now although for the first ten years after I left it, the whole thing was very live for me and I was quite angry about it. So I surprised myself when the College contacted me this year to see if I wanted to support them financially - the anger was only just below the surface! The very nice chap who called me to ask was a bit taken aback by my rant

I'm an Oxford DPhil graduate; met my DH there too.

Ladymuck I (Magdalen 80-84) am also married to a Fitzwilliam lawyer and our best man was a Fitzwilliam lawyer.

Oh wibble I must know you! I matriculated in 89...

"I envied people who did English, they were always so laid back and chilled out", aka did shag-all :) would echo drjohnsonscat to an extent - teaching was hit or miss, very dependent on whether tutor liked you/your approach; on the upside I did learn to teach myself, which has stood me in good stead

1992 (matric), Clare. Not saying which subject.

No, I love Oxford and I didn't have a pop at anyone. I was just amazed to hear people sparking in those terms so many years later. Don't want to out myself but what went on and goes on in Oxford is very important to me.

Jinsei - same year as DH (Clare)

Yes Maggie I'm chuffed to bits. Especially as he never even considered DH's college-Balliol-but then DH never liked it much.

Stop the Balliol bashing

harbinger I went to Jasper Griffin's Homer lectures in Balliol, which were fantastic, but no-one, even Lord Peter Wimsey, would argue that it's an attractive college. Magdalen OTH...
