I've now been studying at the University of Oxford as a graduate for just over a month. I'm reading for an MsT in Classical Archaeology at Merton College and I'm absolutely loving it! I also studied here as an undergraduate, and I have lived in halls the whole time. The block of flats that I live in is located in central Oxford, in walking distance of my Faculty, the supermarket, and the all-important dining hall! I ran a poll on Twitter and asked you guys whether you'd like to see my room and the response was overwhelmingly positive, so I took advantage of a rare moment of my room actually being tidy to share it with you!

I am lucky enough to have a ground floor room in one of the new accommodation blocks, with a lovely view overlooking the gardens. My room is south facing, so I am bathed in glorious sunlight all day when sitting at my desk! My desk is absolutely ginormous, it stretches along two of the walls and gives me ample space to spread out my inevitably huge stack of books and folders while writing an essay! I also have lots of shelving to store my cooking equipment and non-perishable food. I share a kitchen with 9 other graduate students.
