Have you ever heard of Oxbridge? It is really something unique. It’s clear that the name is a combination of the two famous names: Oxford and Cambridge. These universities are obviously among the most famous in the world (1) and they have the reputation of being among the best as well. Is it really so?

Of course, it depends very much on what you are looking for and what subject you are going to take. Some courses, for example, medicine, are too academic and are better for those (2) who would like to be researchers but not practising doctors. If you decide to do English — Oxbridge is a good choice, in my opinion. So you shouldn’t get caught up in the names and the idea of prestige because sometimes it may not be true. You should try to learn as much as you can about the university you would like to enter and then make a decision.

I do believe that every university has something unique. Oxbridge is very different from other universities in several ways. First, it is a well-known college system described in many books and films. Actually, there are more than 30 colleges at Cambridge and 40 at Oxford (3) and it’s sometimes difficult to decide which one to apply for. It’s an important choice because each college is very different. It is a small community in which every student lives and studies for quite a long time with its accommodation and all sorts of facilities: libraries, computer classes, cafes and many others. There may be from 300 to 500 students at different levels.

In the first year at university students usually live in college (4) but it doesn’t mean that they are trapped inside. A lot happens outside, for example, lectures and labs are often held in the faculty building where students from different colleges meet each other if they study the same subject.

Another thing that makes Oxford and Cambridge different is their focus on teaching students in very small groups or even one-to-one. I mean so called tutorials in Oxford, in Cambridge they are called supervisions. It is obviously a great advantage for students (5) as they can benefit from the individual attention and support of a tutor. Some students complain that this system leads to a heavy workload because regular tutorials require a lot ofpreparation. This is the reason why very few Oxbridge students have part-time jobs during terms, (6) they just haven’t got enough time!

The most famous thing about Oxford and Cambridge is their traditions: most of them are very old. Traditional historical gowns are well known (7) but there are a lot of other things that may even seem bizarre nowadays. For example, Latin is used during special ceremonies when students join the university, graduate or have formal dinners. Some things may seem strange and annoying but for students they create a feeling of belonging to a special community and add fun to being a student at Oxbridge.

So, that’s what I wanted to share about Oxbridge. What other universities would you like to consider?
