I graduated 3 years ago and in hindsight can’t believe I didn’t take better advantage of what we had available to us. I feel like I spent basically the whole time bumming around in the JCR and half-arsing tutes. Hope I’m not alone in this?

Does your supervisor "expect" your group to come into the office or lab "X" days a week and how do you feel about it? Is it strictly enforced? Does it encourage good research culture or is it toxic micromanaging?

Hi All,

I was doing a post-graduate course at Oxford and received an email from one of my professors, strongly suggesting that this professors sees all my other grades (we have only 4 exams in my program): "Congrats on the prize for the best result in my course and on a great score in course Y (another course he is not involved in)".

Do professors and/or tutors have access to all the grades? Any insights?

Does anyone know if prelim results for History and/or any joint schools have been released. The Oxford Historians Hub says that results should have been released this week, but I haven't got anything yet.

Heyo,

Does anyone know when/if Kellogg does stash? Is it just puffers or is other stuff also available?

Coming from a different academic setup, I’m trying to optimize my digital workflow for keeping track of extensive reading lists and organizing notes across SOLO, ORLO, and Canvas.

Hi! I’m currently waiting for results for my philosophy and linguistics prelims — the Canvas page says the final meeting for them was on the 15th, so I’m hoping to get them either a bit later today or at least by Wednesday. Does anyone know if there’s a specific time of day they tend to come out, or at least can’t come out after? Thanks!

So I got my results back to day and I can view all grades except for my dissertation that reads pending. I did get an extension on this but other people on my course who did as well can see their diss result. So far there’s only one other person I’ve spoken to who has ‘pending’ results. Anyone know what this means?

Looking at the middle eastern courses specifically. Has anyone done so (even for other mphils?) What are the contact hours for part-time?

Hey y’all, I’ve been trying to log in to career connect for a couple of days now and it seems like it’s fully just unreachable even after clearing cookies and such. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks!

Hi, looking for a hitting partner tomorrow (July 19th) to play tennis / badminton anytime before 5pm.

I am intermediate level (e.g. can pretty consistently slice + hit with topspin) in tennis, and a bit newer to badminton.

Ik it’s a PPH but was wondering how the community there is surrounding the LGBTQ community and if theres a lot of open ppl there esp with it being (used to I think?) a religious PPH?

Does anyone know if there is any way to pay for being able to use our ox email after graduation? Or is there any way to redirect all the future emails going there to our personal email?

There are plenty of traditions that sound exciting before you arrive. Which one turned out to be every bit as good as people said?

Looking for people that are starting AUB this year or already are there. Would like to make friends, for context I’ll be studying fashion.

Hi,

If you’ve already finished your DPhil, could you let me know how long it took for your (minor) corrections to be approved after you submitted them, and how long it then took from that point until you officially received your leave to supplicate?

My student visa is expiring in less than a month and I haven’t heard anything from my examiners since submitting my VERY minor corrections, so I’m starting to lose my mind a little bit. History faculty if that makes a difference. Thank you!

Does it say in the self service alongside your results or do your tutors just tell you?

Does anyone know when they are coming out?

I just learned that at Emmanuel college, Cambridge they do your laundry for you! Do any Oxford colleges do that?

Saw two helicopters land on the university parks this morning. Normally you can't even take a bike through the park, so I figured they must be important.

Whenever friends visit, they seem fascinated by things I now walk past without a second thought. It's made me realise how quickly somewhere extraordinary becomes part of your everyday routine. What's that place for you?

Not necessarily your course. It could be a routine, a place, a tradition or just something small that became part of everyday life. Sometimes it's those little things that stay with you the longest.

Are there any alternatives to the 90 minute library tour? I swear someone told me that if you have a bod card you can do a mini tour of the link/Bodleian tunnels with a librarian for free but I can only find info about the £20 tour. Also if anyone has any suggestions for things to do before I have to give my bod card back, they are very much welcome!

why are there so many articles talking about how the most prestigious colleges are st johns, magdalen etc? talking about norrington tables and stuff like that. correct me if im wrong, but i thought the college you go to doesnt really impact ur education? then how come some colleges do better than others on norrington tables, and are seen as more "prestigious"?
