Regular Routine of an Oxford Student

1. This is how a student at Oxford spends his day. His working hours are from 9 to1. At 9 o’clock he meets the tutor and discusses with him his daily program of studies. Then he goes to the library or to the lectures. So, he spends the morning in work

2. In the afternoon between 2 and 4 nobody works. Every Oxford student goes in for sport. From 2 to 5 the students play sport games and do all kinds of exercises. The most famous sport is rowing.

3. After 5 o’clock tea studies begin again and from 5 to 7 the student usually works in the library or in the laboratory till dinner time.

4. 7 o’clock is a lunch hour. As the students and the teachers live in the college they all gather in the dining hall, including the dean. They all have dinner together. After dinner the students have club activities. They attend debating societies, folk groups or French speaking clubs. Every evening from 5 to 10 societies hold their meetings and invite freshers to come.

5. At about 10 o’clock the students sit down to work again for two hours. Some students like to go to the theatre or to the cinema, some go out with their girlfriends. But the students must be back by 12 o’clock. There is a strict rule: if a student comes back after midnight he goes to see the dean next day. He gives the explanation and sometimes the dean fines him.
