I'm going to Oxford

Posted by PeterMoore on May 17, 2008 in Blimey!

For a week. To live like a student. Between May 29 and June 4.

I’ll be staying in student digs. Attending lectures and tutorials. And at the end of it I have to present a 2,500 word essay to a tutor.

I won’t be swotting all the time. There’ll be bops to attend, pubs to visit and graduation dinners to gatecrash.

There are a few things that current students or any Oxford old boys (or girls) can help me with.

I need some tips on:

1) Writing an essay

2) Where to find a cheap Black Tie outfit

3) How to behave appropriately at bops

4) Anything I must absolutely do to ensure I have an authentic student experience.

On reflection, I’m sure you don’t need to have gone to Oxford to answer those questions.

So everyone feel free to contribute. Either here on the blog, via email or over at the Blimey! Forum here >
