i am so, so sorry for the people here who don't get to attend an Elite university. It's one of those very rare occasions were reality actually exceeds expectations in almost every way. I feel like I am in Hogwarts and it's literally an unbeatable feeling.

What do you mean why am I here? I'm here because I applied and gained the requisite grades. I am here to make friends, hopefully meet a long-term partner and potentially several short-term sexual liaisons, to study, to work hard, to explore new activities and hobbies, to respect an ancient academic traditions, and to bolster my CV in time for my move to London after graduating where I'll hopefully have a high-paying job and all the rest of it. Why am I here indeed.

I'm not sure I believe the specific events in this post but I agree with the general sentiment, but for a different reason; the lack of tutorials in other universities makes doing a humanities degree outside Oxford pointless. You should notice when you return after your first year how stupid normies (and /lit/ posters) are in arguments.

Huh? Why?

>>10180622
You know one thing I've learned from my conversations (not with the girl I mentioned) is that young men from top private schools in the UK are pretty much taught to expect spite, bitterness and jealousy from an early age. It's why insults and mockery barely have an effect on them. The fact, as I've come to understand it, is this: why the hell would a successful and thus wealthy mother and father not want the very best for their child? And if the very best means sending them to a private school which costs £36k a year, which in turn allows them to gain entry into Oxbridge etc, then not? I am still on the fence about the issue of social class but I'm starting to see things their way I have to admit.

Even if it didn't happen to OP, it likely happened to someone. The point is that SOMEONE has had a better life than you.

Now, the question is, did that someone have the same condescening, smug idea to feel "so, so sorry" for everyone else, which would make him a decent person, or was it OP, who can imagine happiness only in relation to the suffering of others

Not the OP but you're literally wrong about this. A lot of these people are fully aware of their (for a lack of a better word) "privilege" and their subsequent responsibility to act in a considerate, empathetic manner. Trust me, it isn't easy to be told at the age of six that you are one of a relative handful of people in your country who will receive an expensive, intense education and then have to maintain a highly successful life both as a teenager and then as an adult in order to live up to your parents' expectations. It's by no means a walk in the park. You meet a girl you think is cute and well-suited but then find out she is from a broken home in a poor town in the north-east. You have to consider what your parents will think, what your sibling(s) will think. What your friends will think. You have to ask yourself if this person's career trajectory will allow them to earn enough money to help you sustain your social class in the future and allow your children the same life you had as a child. And in the end you have to bite the bullet and settle for someone closer to home, as it were, rather than risk generations of hard work to ensure your place atop the pile for the sake of what may very well end up being a summer fling. There's a reason you won't find many people from the upper class on Tinder, for example. There's a reason they stick to their own, and it's a good one if considered objectively.

Everyone thinks you're a cunt and even if you think you're being considerate and empathetic you're probably coming off as a condescending asshole and people don't like that.

This. People from outside the UK don't understand the class system here. It's really not like other countries (Scandinavia for example) where universities are all pretty equal and the social classes not too far apart despite nepotism etc. In Britain it's just different. There is no point risking your social status simply for "love", which is just a socio-economic sorting ritual for the most part. It's very hard to climb the ladder in the UK and I for one would never consider dropping a few rungs to be with someone who is less educated, less connected and less likely to "fit in" in my social circle. I attended one of the most historically significant private schools in London and of my friends who are married or in long-term relationships, not a single one of them is dating a girl who was not also privately educated and now working a high-status job. Moan all you want but that's life.

The physical sensation I want you to experience while reading this comment is that of me pushing my thumbs into your eyes with the intention of permanently blinding you and harming you immensely. I want you to consider every word I write an extra bit of pressure added as I press down. My parents' home is worth over £2,000,000 (that's two-million). My father earns around £125,000-a-year a a senior consultant in London and my mother earned around £75,000 in the education sector before taking leave to raise us kids (as all good mothers should). I attended schools whose grounds you, dear reader (feel that pressure?), would not even be allowed to set a single foot on because guess what. We do not want to be contaminated by your poverty, and by the lack of worth ethic, the slovenliness, the rudeness and general lack of etiquette which comes with being a poor person in the United Kingdom. I am 6'2. Why is that? Because I received proper nutrition and exercise throughout my youth. I already, in my 20s, earn more than probably anybody else in this forum. And I know how you idiots will respond to that fact. You will claim I have been given an easy life, the silver spoon and all that. When what you really have to realize is that the same genetic studies the racists among you use to justify Africa's lack of economic stability is also applicable within the population of your own race. Some of us are born with the means to succeed, and others (is it hurting yet? Good!) aren't. So the next time you feel the urge to write some horribly, nasty, vindictive little screed online about how the upper class are "arrogant" or how your feelings were hurt after learning that your life is comparatively meaningless, think back to this comment, and think back to the image of me pushing my thumbs into your eyes, forever.

For someone who's studying at Oxford, you seem more concerned with the physicality of the place and less about why you are actually there. What's interesting to me is that you have not once mentioned in this entire thread what you are studying. You have said nothing about learning at Oxford let alone a single sentence about literature on a literature board. Why are you here OP, to brag about ancient walnut-paneled rooms and sophisticated women? How superficial.

If this thread were actually about learning at Oxford it would be great, worth something. What a fucking Charlatan you are.

I literally can't express how much better my life has been since I attended Oxford. I went to a state school and gradually became the stereotypical moody, withdrawn sensitive type who both despises the quality of his immediate culture and feels a weird pride for having been raised in a sort of anti-intellectual and brutal environment. I was all set to take my Russell Group humanities BA and spend my life working as an anonymous, insecure wageslave forever thankful of being offered a job and forever too insecure to pursue my creative ambitions. The chip on my shoulder had become something of a wedge, and I felt too out of place regardless of my environment, too resentful and bitter to even attempt to make it in the artistic world. Then I finally applied for Oxford and got in to study an English MA, with reassurance that should I work hard enough a career in academia or within one of Oxford's affiliated companies would be almost guaranteed. I turned up as apprehensive as usual, and the first few days were spent regretting my decision and desperately feigning a cultured personality. But then I realized that the people there were just interesting and that the snobbery and exclusivity I had anticipated was just a myth borne out of my working class upbringing. I've since graduated, having spend the year dining in grand halls with groups of interesting people, dating several girls (one of whom, a petite Russian whose family traces back to the aristocracy, is now my fiancee). I work four days a week at a publishing company and earn £38k a year. I regularly meet up with friends from my college and visit Oxford for nights out and for meetings with my professors. The Martin Eden-esque novel I have been writing for two years has been selected for publication at a major British publishing house and, honestly, I could not have imagined a few years ago how great life could be. I come on /lit/ and see how pathetic you all are and just shake my head and chuckle. If I saw you guys on the street I would of course throw you a penny or discuss Bukowski or whatever "realist" writers you enjoy, but ultimately I would be able to tell within ten seconds if you're an Oxbridge grad and would dismiss you as a potential source of good company if you are not. I never thought I'd know what it was like to be objectively better than somebody else, for the value of my existence to be superior to the value of a stranger's, but now I do and I've never been happier. People are awed by power and prestige. All I need to do is mention the university I attended (if only for a year) and they immediately begin to hunch and look at their feet because they know they are in the presence of greatness.

Without going into too much detail, and for the sake of illustrating the difference between the kind of girls I've been familiar with thus far in life (i.e. in a working class area) with those who have been raised in more affluent climes, I will say that beyond her pale skin, beyond her delicate petite physique, beyond her neatly cropped hair and absolutely heart-churning smile, there is a poise and elegance to her character that I have simply never witnessed in a female of the lower orders. Something refined which emits a private confidence and self-assurance that needs no words to express or articulate.

It stretches the imagination to take your posts seriously - 3/10 troll effort etc.

However, in the extremely unlikely event that you are not just simply soliciting knee-jerk reactions from jealous basement dwellers, I just wanted to share my own relevant experience.

I was a blue boat rower who was admitted on the basis of his academic achievement like anyone else (but yes - standards can be relaxed ever so slightly in some rowing-related cases). However, my social background, accent etc. essentially corresponded to that of a chav.
I met many people of the sort you describe to the point of caricaturizing - smug snobs who looked down on others to make up for their own insecurities.
I can't begin to explain how good it feels to absolutely, lividly fuck a woman who didn't know that sex could last more than 8 minutes at a time, or whose partner's idea of a romantic "surprise" is swapping into his fancy underwear in anticipation of hanky-panky.
The type of person you are trying to impersonate in your posts (because they are not real) is literally the archetype of a cuckold.
I know, because I cuckolded more than I can remember.
That is all.

Pardon me, but I said it felt like an historical drama. In the sense that I don't wake up in some cheaply constructed "student accommodation" block in an obscure, crime-ridden part of some third-rate town or city, but instead in a dormitory whose former occupants no-doubt include renowned scientists, philosophers, writers and politicians. I don't "hang out" at a Starbucks like some polytechnic oink, but instead stroll along flagstoned walkways greeting professors and smartly dressed fellow students who are the very definition of civilized. My surroundings are the kind which have the potential to fool more naive individuals than myself into believing they have somehow been transported back several decades if not centuries, to a time when the nobility of this country unapologetically made up pretty much one hundred percent of the Oxford student body.

The troll that feeds on the resentment of the trolled is the easy troll; it is not an artform. It is too easy, too ephemeral. You get your kicks from the butthurt, but it is fleeting. Trolling becomes an art when it is trolling in the vein of Socrates, and makes the trolled better rather than bitter men. When it shakes the foundations of their worldview instead of poking at their unsubstantial insecurities.

You absolute idiot, every class I take is a fucking 'tutorial' where we debate the content of the current reading for anywhere from an single class to an entire week, and I can go right to my professor at any time and speak to her about the contents in private.

Ivyshits are factory schools. You've been deluded to think that lectures are the fucking norm, when really they are designed to maximize profits.
>>10180779
Factory schoolers literally have crap like philosophy classes in a giant 400+ person lecture hall, where the professor just reads off a powerpoint or something to force their opinion on the unwashed masses.
This doesn't occur at any good liberal arts university. Philosophy courses are active conversations within the class as guided by the text.

I'm not sure if this is intentional bait but stating that "the lack of tutorials in other universities makes doing a humanities degree outside Oxford pointless" highlights your ignorance. Tutorials are common in the studies of humanities regardless of institution. I am uncertain where this idea that tutorials do not exist outside of Oxford comes from. Maybe drop your chin a bit and you will notice that Oxford isn't as special as it once was. It is still an achievement, but not by a margin as grand as it would have been 50+ years ago. I hope you enjoy your studies.

>This doesn't occur at any good liberal arts university.
I don't think you understand the purpose of that kind of class. A lot of people take those classes because they need the credits to graduate. It's easy to say that people don't get anything out of those courses or that professors force opinions on people but at a school with a large student body there's really no other way for people to get credits for that requirement. In the U.S. those are called general education courses. My university had 25,000+ undergraduates, there's literally no way for every course to be hands on 10-person discussion courses. At the same time, almost every 100+ person class I took had at least one discussion section per week in which ~15 people (most of whom didn't care about the subject because it wasn't for their major and they just had to pass the course for credit toward graduation) would discuss readings with a grad student.
Of course as you get higher up these classes aren't an issue and everything is much more hands on and intimate. You have to get this shit out of the way send there's no way around it. If you don't feel special in those courses, it's because you aren't.
