Having writer's block so exploring another train of thought. A recent conversation had me talking about the inequalities in #kampungOxford, where I had to reassure someone that which college you're in doesn't matter; that we curate our own Oxford experience. Thread.
There is no denying the prestige that comes with being an #Oxbridge student. But similar to my past experience of having been to the best all-girls boarding school in Malaysia at age 13, this is where you realize that your intelligence and self worth had to face up to: money.
The inequality between the haves and the have nots are stark. Yes, you are all 'chosen' to be educated at the best place, well - the best university in the world in Oxford's case - but your Oxford experience, your clique, your network - are influenced by how much money you have.
