Alright, I'll calm down. I'll admit that when I'm in a bad mood I don't find it easy to construct a good arguament, but that's more because I am tempremental rather than anything else.
Yes I went to Cambridge and I have the degree certificate to prove it.
I'm sorry about the explietive, but can I have a little more respect, please.
I am not being cool, calm, rational, I'll admit that.
I just feel like, all I've said is bassically, I have not enjoyed my time in Warwick and I don't feel that life is as intresting or enjoyable there in comparison to Cambridge.
Other people are free to disagree with me of course on this, but well at the moment I just feel a little like I am being bullied and told it obviously must be my fault.
Well, to be honest, I was more intrested to hear what other people would have to say on this subject
Personally I have found it quite difficult setteling down a differant university from my under graduate university and I was just wondering how general this problem might be.
I think there is a serious issue, that it is not as eaasy for students to settle in at post graduate level than at under graduate level.
To be honest, my experiance of Cambridge is that really isn't at all as elitist as people think. I'd say it depends a lot on which college one goes to.
King's certainly isn't at all elitist. To be honest while I was there I fealt a little bit the odd one out coming from a public school there, but I wouldn't say that was a bad thing.
Colleges like Trinty, Perterhouse and Saint John's perhaps are much more elitist, but no one has to apply there.
I'd say that bassically life in Cambridge is a great chance to meet a wide variety people from differant social back grounds, parts of the world and differant intrests.
My time in Cambridge was the best time of my life
I recomend it as an experiance to anyone.
Don't be put off by the myth.
I'd say Oxbridge certainly is a good enviroment for working in. Whether or not it's good for studying certain subjects, obviously depends on the subjects in question and also on what areas of those subjects one wishes to specialise in. Oxbridge can sometimes, be less at allowing specialisation in paticular areas. It is defintly good at providing supervision, though.
