Take That Oxford Girl: A Real Students Guide To Oxford University Drafted By Tilly Rose Listed As Script

book about being a student at Oxford, It was an interesting read with lots of great information, It speaks to all the questions that a new student to the campus could have, I really think it'd be great to get other schools to have this type of information available to new students, I was expecting this to be more of a memoir and personal but I learned about Oxford,


Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author, All opinions are my own, I didn't know Tilly Rose when I requested the book in NetGalley, but after rading, I'm quite sure I'm going to continue her journey in Oxford with the web page and the instagram.

That Oxford Girl gives a fun and cute perspective of the process of applying to Oxford University, It also gives you a little tour of Oxford, the places that you can visit, the different colleges there are, . . It talks about so much that I think this book is almost essential if you are curious about this college and about the city.
And also, it's the perfect guide to the place and more enjoyable than the ones you usually use when your on holidays, very informative with cute graphics/designs makes me want to go so bad! the order of the chapters is a bit odd though why not start with admissions and then move on to life at oxford wouldn't chronology be more logical ending with admissions also makes the book end on a low/stressfully which

i guess motivates you into action but it would be nicer to conclude with exciting things to look forward to, surely i suppose telling you about the uni helps you decide if you want to apply first but if you bought the book its fairly certain that you're decided, no A genuinely good and insightful look into what it is like to apply, be accepted to, and figure out how Oxford University works once you get past the seemingly inconceivable and are actually accepted there.
As long as I can remember I always wanted to go to Oxford, and rather tragically when I finally finished school and was given the whole world at my fingertips, I chose a school that was closer to home.
Oxford is exactly as I've just described the whole world at your fingertips, It feels so messily complicated, but wonderfully so, Now, I haven't read Tilly's That Oxford Girl blog, and I'm not really planning on it, but I still found joy in reading this book anyway.
It covers a lot of topics in a very short page number, Everything from choosing which college to choose to traditions to sports to advice to interview processes, she really gets it all, I was unbelievably jealous the entire time I was reading it,

Because it's not terribly long, and she does cover a lot of ground, it does feel at times like we are only scraping the surface of the intricacies of Oxford University.
She mentions a lot that going to school there and reaping all the benefits of this wonderful school require a lot of time management and hard work, which I do not doubt in the slightest.
Though she spends quite a bit of time talking about all the exams and prep you must do to succeed, it almost felt like as long as you did this one thing passing exams, everything would be grand.
When, in fact, passing exams would be one thing, but that one thing is comprised ofother things, Obviously Tilly did go to school here, so she's way more of an authority on it all than I am, but that was my observation in reading this book.
At the end of the day though, it's a super quick read about an hour, less so for a fast reader like myself, and it's a good introduction that really does make Oxford look less daunting.
Every few pages or so she would elaborate on her own experience, which is one of the most valuable thing this book does, If you were to consider applying there, I would definitely recommend reading this, It's not extensive, but it will ease your mind and in a super casual tone that will make the crazy idea of applying there seem completely plausible.


I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review, An ARC was provided to me for free by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review,

This was a really cute and short, but informative, book about being a student at Oxford University! I really wish more universities had a book like this.
Generic. Nothing much new that I already know about, Every University should do this! A fantastic little guide to prospective students or parents, or people just curious about Oxford about the University of Oxford.

The author describes her journey to become a student at Oxford, She explains how the admission process works, and how to best increase one's chances to be accepted there,
She explains the structure, that it is actuallydifferent colleges under the umbrella of Oxford University,
Where the book really shines, though, is in the author's descriptions of the "nittygritty" of life there, The way classes are held, the exams, and the fantastic social life, With the dormitories, balls, dining experiences, and shenanigans, one really cannot help but think of Harry Potter's "Hogwarts"!
A takeaway from the book, and one of the main reasons that it should be offered to all students thinking about attending university anywhere is the wonderful way the author manages to encourage prospective students.
Rose has little side essays throughout the book called My Story that offers encouragement to students who think themselves not "worthy" or capable of attending university.
She is very persuasive!
As for myself, I have always dreamed of visiting Oxford, Both for the history and the experience, The author explains that visits are allowed, and how to go about scheduling one for the different areas you are interested in, And she gives advice on things to see when you do visit,
Finally, the photographs are lovely, They really make you wish you were there,
All in all, a great little book, I read it in one sitting, I would recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about attending any university, And to anyone thinking or dreaming about visiting Oxford! I really enjoyed this! It was very helpful and reassuring, with a lot of tips about being a student there, as well as a detailed section on applying for any prospective students as well as just goodtohave info about the city! Easy to digest, beautifully presented and did make me feel less nervous about starting in October sodefinitely due! Kind of charming.
Good for the armchair traveller, Wish it had less on the application process and more on academic life, but on the whole, a good guide especially since Oxford is so damn secretive about every aspect of its existence and there is Zero information on the web.
Such a fun book! Packed with great insights of what it's really like to a student at Oxford University, This was a really enjoyable book!
I read it all in one sitting I would recommend this book to anyone who is thinking of applying to any college and for anyone who loves oxford.

This book describes the authors journey to become a student at oxford,
She explains her journey in great personal detail and I totally loved it, Thank you, K. I would never have got here without you, ltA informative read about Oxford and life at Oxford, I believe Tilly Rose had the right idea when she wrote this book, This concept can be applied to write about life at every college/university sort of a 'informal' guide to 'whatreallymatters' to those who enter campus life.


Pros:
Lots of fun facts about the college and the campus and life
Useful information about the various campuses within this esteemed university
Howtos, whats/whys/whens too of the admission process as well as academics
The author's personal memories/stories interspersed within the rest of the book charmingly
Photographs that let us visualize what she talks about easily :.


Cons:
That informal tone that was charming also seemed a bit overdone at times, kind of like texting rather than writing for an actual book not always but a little more than I expected for a book talking about Oxford.


Overall, a very useful, cool book though and one that could be a prime example for similar books from other universities,

Disclaimer and Note: this review is a little delayed, as it sat in bits and pieces for too long as part of my notes.
It still is but better late than never, right Thank you to NetGalley for the digital review copy of this book,.Thank you to NetGalley for letting me read and review this book,

This is such a good nonfiction book to take with you for when you want to visit Oxford, It is informative about the places to “sightsee” in oxford, as well as about the history of the city in general, I took this with me when I visited oxford and it gave me some knowledge about the Bodleian Library that I didnt know before.
