Hello people,
I got offers both from Oxford and Cambridge and I've been admitted to Queen's at Cambridge.
I still don't know the Oxford college but I am inclined for there, because MJur is better for public law-philosophy of law issues,because Cambridge seems too "posh" for my underground qualities (I don't claim of course that Oxford is kind of that, but at least I will find some interesting spots/bars friends said), because it has a better reputation in Greece and all my greek professors are "in love" with MJur. However, I don't plan to stay and work in Greece, especially now with the crisis. I'd rather travel, work in the US, continue my PhD in the States. That's the plan=not a certain one. I am not the typical first class student, I just happen to enjoy studying in certain periods. I love acting and dancing and people told me that Oxford is ideal my "beyond-law" expectations.

I know that it may seem para-normal to you, since I see comments speaking about job planning-carrer building-scaring new ideas, but I love beeing free, reading whatever I like, working wherever my conscience permits, travelling with people, being in multi-tasking environments. I haven't still chosen my path, but I will go for Oxbridge, just for the experience of academic life there.

I couldn't agree more with an older post: the courses seem a bit narrow, but I've been told that reputation is all in these cases (that it's why I declined LSE's offer). I understand that both are top ranking universities and there is not THAT difference between them, but if somebody could give me some additional details, I would be grateful.

I am interested in Comparative Public Law and International Environmental Law. Maybe Human Rights as well.

Thank you by heart.

Have you studied there? Have you taken the Jurisprudence course?

(Inter alia thanks ;)

I know that Oxford is the best place to do legal philosophy in the world.

But I never mentioned -in my 1st post- that I am inclined for legal philosophy. I love reading philosophy, from ancient greeks until the Frankfurt Scholars (Benjamin, Habermas,etc) and the post-modern and feminist theorists (like Hanna Arendt). This is how I re-construct my mind's representations of the world.

But I would never like to live the life of a scholar. I am a very active woman.

So, this is the question (to dear ALL) ;

Oxford or Cambridge offers an anti-autoritarian community, an out-of-the box way of existing in modern studies? Where does somebody find the most radical thesis? Where the flow is moving you unexpectedly?

In neither of both I sullenly guess.

okies i read it wrongly then, I will delete my replies since they are not relevant :) no biggie.

Not at all! Thanks for the common place, I know that my post is a bit confusing and out-of-the box for this site :)

Hope I get an answer from an "insider" though...
