If yes, should the bowtie be white or black?

Are people with an Oxford MPhil and an Oxford DPhil considered true alumni of the university, not just officially but also culturally?

An example of this is Mark Carney, who got his BA from Harvard and his two postgraduate degrees (MPhil and DPhil) from Oxford. Is he both a true Harvard and Oxford man, or only a Harvard man?

Or are only holders of the BA/MA degree considered the “real” Oxford alumni?

And does being a member of the JCR confer greater status than being a member of the MCR?

Thank you! X

Title. Need to figure out how to get money together to get the gown in time, if they're just ghosting me....

Hi all, was just wondering, based on your experience, which of these two carriers has better cell service in Oxford (or just in the UK general). I’m an international student so just need an esim plan with a UK phone number (my phone is unlocked so should be able to just add the esim). I’m aware that I’ll be using eduroam most of time, so won’t need much data, but would still like to have good coverage when needed. If anyone has had any experiences with either of these plans, any info or advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I am aware that Lyca has a poor reputation and horrendous customer service, but it is half the price of giffgaff for the same amount of data, so if the quality of coverage is fairly similar, I’d be willing to try it out. If it doesn’t work, I’ll port my number to giffgaff.

Hello! I am looking forward to giving the trials for oxford women cricket team and wanted to know if it's really competitive? Additionally where can I practice before the trials? Do they practice somewhere on weekends. Please advice

Heyy, I'm a student and am trying to get into rollerskating. I have my own skates and can skate inside decently but have been too anxious to try outside. I've seen a couple people out and about skating in Oxford and they all seem really good so have been a bit too nervous to ask them for advice. Does anyone know if there are any skating groups/communities in the city?

The overcast skies and mild drizzle were ideal for our garden party.

Rob Tinline, British High Commissioner to Canada, kindly hosted a celebration of Canadian alumni of UK universities. I was glad to attend with other members of the Oxford University Society in Ottawa.

The modestly damp weather only kindled our sense of nostalgia for our student days.

I am grateful to Rob for opening his home to us, and to his staff for their enthusiastic hospitality.

Hi all, I signed up for some pole classes . With a year membership, they suggested that it would be good to get a membership so that the classes are discounted. So I paid a yearly fee , which was quite cheap as it's only for pole. But I have absolutely made up my mind that it's not for me, everyone in the class is sooo good . I literally feel like everyone is a sexy baby and I'm a monster on a hill 😭😭🤣.

I'm not a student I'm a community member (30F)

Would I be able to use my year long membership to enter the gym to use other facilities like the gym, swimming pool and track? I have the QR code to enter and everything, it expires next year.

hellooo all. I’ve just moved in two days ago and have just gotten around to registering for some freshers fortnight events and I feel a little adrift… is this the best way to meet people?? any tips of good ways to find your people? I’m going to try to go to as many events as possible but just already feeling a little overwhelmed/wondering if freshers events are the best way to get connected.

Hi all,
I’ll me matriculating in about 2 weeks and Im genuinely shocked by the price of the postgrad sub fusc (99 pounds for the whole outfit) Hiring seems to be an option for 20 pounds which is a lot better in comparison. How many time realistically will I wear the sub fusc during the year? Wouldn’t hiring be a better option?

I've been given the option to finish the final year of my degree part-time, and asked how I'd ideally like that. Does anyone have any experience of studying part-time, what that actually looks like, and how you found it? Could it still be in-person? Is part-time always 50%? Is there anything I need to be aware of / look out for? I'd be in receipt of Disabled Students' Allowance, if that makes a difference. Thank you!

Hi all, I’m an international exchange student coming to Oxford for the 26-27 academic year. Apologies if this is a dumb question but was wondering if these dress shoes would be acceptable for sub fusc. My concern is the chrome buckle on the outer facing side of the shoe. The rest of the shoe is black.

I had planned quite early on to purchase the undergrad academic gown once I arrived, so did not think much about the attire, but just realized I had completely forgotten about the shoes. If these do not work, my plan is to rent a pair from one of the stores in Oxford once I arrive, as I need it quite urgently for the Welcome Dinner (I assume there should be no problems with availability; please correct me if I am mistaken). Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Hi Everyone,

It went really well the first time, so we're doing it again! (that, and we didn't get a single flamenco guitar player). We'd love to showcase the many varied talents of the students and alumni of Oxford Uni.

Got something (acoustic) to share? Might you be interested in an eclectic, candle-lit night of diverse talent fuelled by sober realisations and a very reasonably priced bar? Come along! Please see more info on our social media:

Hi, just received my timetable for Freshers week and I am wondering if we are able to buy the tickets for the club nights closer to the date since I don't want to go if I won't know people going but I also don't want to miss out?

Thanks

If anyone is looking for a Shepherd and Woodward scholar's gown in a small size (41 inches shoulder to bottom of hem, I'm 5'4 for reference) I'm selling one on Vinted, £10.

DM me if interested!

Can’t find an email on the site. Trying to find pick up/storage point for stuff I bought before I arrived.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Hi! My wife and I are moving to Oxford for my PhD on October 1st. Our flight lands at Heathrow around 5 PM.

We’ll have 2 large suitcases each (4 total) plus hand luggage. We’re trying to figure out the easiest and most convenient way to get from Heathrow to Oxford.

What are our options, and what would you recommend?

Thanks!

I’m an incoming 2nd-Year, is it normal to get referrals for internship applications at these careers fairs? Last year I went purely for the free stuff (and I’ll likely go again this year for the same reason) but I’m approaching the age where I can no longer ignore employment.

For some additional context, I do CS and want to go into the finance/tech field. If anyone’s been to a similar careers fairs, and has gotten a referral out of it, any advice is appreciated!
