Anyway, just to render Crzy_Aus and Ensi's argument totally pointless: I'm not an the Oxford University everyone knows about. I'm at Oxford Brookes University, which isn't as notoriously hard to get into as Oxford University. But to be honest I prefer it, Brookes isn't stuck in the past like Oxford Uni, it's actually modern, the campuses are seriously hi-tec, our rooms are huge, we get our own bus service with leather seats and TVs. Not to mention the fact that overall the History department at Brookes has actually performed better than the Oxford Uni History department for the past couple years. I still had to get two A's and a B at A-level to get into this course though so while it's not "prestigious" it certainly wasn't easy to get into.
