What are some extremely /lit/ Universities?

I'm away from the city till michaelmas but I was in one the last day before lockdown. Our master doesn't actually trust the chaplain with the head's location either so only he knows, but he's been kicked out by the construction workers doing up the college. It's definitely the most surreal college imo in a Roal Dahl kind of way.

Not OP, but the dinners are some of my fondest memories. If only everything in life could be so nice. Cambridge was also probably the last (and perhaps only) place where my peers seemed as interested in reading, literature, and history as I am.

OP is a LIAR, you are automatically conferred a Masters degree after a period of time if you do your undergrad at Oxbridge, so there's no need to do a separate Masters. If he actually went there he'd know that.

You will NEVER EVER dine at Balliol College, Oxford before quietly sneaking off with your privately educated (£36,000 per year plus expenses and netball tour fees) English rose girlfriend. Every night for 8 weeks per term, 3 terms an academic year, for 3 to 4 years of your intensive, 3 essay a week, tutorial (maximum of 3 people, including you and a world leading expert who probably wrote the textbook ("Ignore that part Anon, just padding for the slower students at inferior universities! Now lets enjoy the weather and spend the hour outside, discussing my conception of Neoplatonism through the lens of Rawls."), 3 of them a week) filled life changing, world class experience.

No need for job interviews. The finest employers in the Western hemisphere come from London to advertise. Though that doesn't adequately convey the personalised nature of it. No presentations to halls filled with 300+ people followed by awkward business card shuffling. Personalised dinners with your college's alumni. Dinner with Amal Clooney, where she discusses her international human rights work in the Hague on Monday, prosecuting the last of the Eastern European holdouts, and then her work in the backwaters of Mugazumbabwete where she represented a blind, deaf, and disabled, 88 year old in a meeting with a tribal chief. Extremely rewarding, I trust you guys not to publicise it.

Brunch with Tony Blair and other members of the Lacrosse team, including your rival for your English rose, Uppingham-Mannheim III, who you have come to a frosty respect. Tony was dreadfully gauche but he did raise some chuckles when he talked about the calibre of the current Labour leadership. To this we day we still discuss whether Birckbeck and Brunel on a resume are more embarrassing than 2 failed A levels. Aah.. The high-minded discussions of the men of Oxford...

The most /lit/ thing to do would be to get onto the writing course at UEA, which is the best in the country and one of the best in Europe. You actually have to possess creative talent to go there, though, so no one on /lit/ ever will.

My cousin's fiance went there. It sounds absolutely kino. He did screenwriting and was pretty quickly snapped up by a production company based in London, a mate of his had his first novel published imminently after graduating. Apparently like 40% of students go on to be career writers, with the rest going into journalism/teaching writing etc. Although someone else he went there with got onto the civil service fast stream after, which is also kinda cool. Artists involved in civil service remind me of Goethe. Anyway as you can tell by this rambling ass post I am never fucking getting in there or published at all lol

UEA is middling as a whole, but their creative writing program is notoriously selective and genuinely world-class. That's perhaps an exception on comparison to their other courses. UEA is famed for its writing program just as Cambridge is for mathematics, Loughborough is for sports science, LSE is for economics, etc. Alumni include Kazuo Ishiguro and Ian McEwan.

I've been reading all these recent Oxbridge topics, along with that Oxford copypasta, with some bemusement. I went to Oxford and did a PPE degree. I have also read a lot of bitter posts about poshness but I did see a grain of truth: that the public school upbringing shielded you from feeling offence. It's true. It's always jarring when I come across a /lit/ type in real life, one of those fiercely attempting to climb the class ladder through erudition and intellect alone. It is embarrassing on both sides.

On the one hand, this person, so used to being the towering intellect in their Durham-LSE-UCL (oh spare me about English Literature rankings!)-Warwick social circle (Bristol, Edinburgh, and St. Andrews seem to produce only jolly clowns, not these types), is visibly mortified while realising how much the Oxbridge natural brilliance shines through. What's funny is that they are invariably better read than me. Tolstoy's lesser known works and so on. But they are still visibly insecure, in many cases shaking. Sometimes I use my 3-to-1 tutorial hewn bullshitting technique to pretend that I have read as much as them but I always reveal that I am joking and this terrifies them, as if realising I have been boxing with both hands behind my back. Please, you guys, DON'T come across so try hard.

I now float in and out of fashionable South Kensington, Russel Square, and, when I feel like knobbing that hipsterish girl you cooed over in your 30 person English tutorials as a Chinese teaching assistant failed to draw ANY original thoughts from the class, Camden mileus on these autumnal and winter Friday and Saturday nights. It's quite funny really, my friends and I were academically brilliant, on many occasions being invited for individual wine sessions with multiple tutors from Economics, Law, and English Literature, and being begged to continue on with further study- on one occasion my tutor postponed his meeting with the Presidents of the World Bank and IMF where he would advise them of the Venezuela situation, in order to plead with me to develop a Hegelian line of attack on the similarities of English common law and Constantinople law that I had mentioned in a throwaway comment- and yet, in these fashionable parties, the most easily brilliant and witty people were the Oxbridge colleagues among us who had done so academically badly. Lowly Atillas, lazy Desmonds, narcoleptic Douglases: who knew they were so brilliant? But I guess that's Oxbridge for you!

The Cambridge MA is only eligable no earlier than 6 years after you complete a BA, and does not count as a post graduate qualification- it only confers additional voting rights within University conduct.

Is it true that Oxford is considered leet while Cambridge is like a knock-off of Oxford reserved for second tier applicants? My tutors always said me to pirate and read everything Oxford, because Cambridge is, uh... country fair tier, if I translate that word right.

[Anonymous No.15865988]

bait tier advice desu. Most of the time Cambridge is ranked higher than Oxford for most of its subjects, and it has a smaller student pool. Oxford is just more well known in America and hence, the rest of the world.
That said, when I went over there to play varsity, Oxford's money and facilities were much better than Cambridge's.
