Anyone studied/studying at Oxford ? Wondering about workload.

[TheodoresMummy]

Have made the decision to go to Uni !!!

Whilst looking at some prospectus', I thought I would have a look at Oxford (because it's fairly close to us and it was a dream of mine to go when I was younger).

Well it looks as fab as it always did (although being a married student with kids would not allow the level of involvement that I could have had years ago).

All of the colleges accept mature student applications. One college is exclusively for mature students.

The workload looks full on, but the terms are only 8 weeks each. So with family support (which I am lucky in having) could I do it ? Am I crazy ? I looked over a sample entrance exam for the course I am particularly interested in and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it might be.

Anyone got any thoughts ?

Oh I wasn't six inches then, though you won't remember me as I spent all my time working, as befitted a St John's classicist.

(Am mulling over the difficulty of completing a Classics degree if you're six inches tall.... would be difficult with those big Latin and Greek dictionaries, I think.)
