THE MALVERNIAN
University of Oxford Visit
Eight Lower Sixth pupils, who are hoping to apply to the University of Oxford this autumn, had a memorable visit to the City of Dreaming Spires earlier this term. The sun was shining, college gardens were looking beautiful, bells were chiming, undergraduates were wearing ‘Sub Fusc’ formal wear to take their final exams, pro-Palestinian demonstrators were exercising their right of free speech, morris dancers and tipsy revellers were celebrating May Day. Best of all, OMs Josi Jebens (who is studying Biochemistry at Merton) and Ani King (who is studying English at Oriel) gave us wonderful guided tours of their colleges, and answered the pupils’ many insightful questions about student life and academic work and how best to prepare to apply to this elite university. It was a thoroughly enjoyable, informative and inspirational day!
