...have taken an exceptionally candid tone about our experiences at Oxford not because we are bitter but rather because these are things we wish we had known three years ago. As you consider pursuing fellowships and applying to Oxford, here are the questions we suggest asking. Do other universities offer the same program that you want to study at Oxford? If so, how do their faculty, library, and financial resources compare? Don’t forget finances; consider how much it would cost to live in the college you are interested in. Think about whether you mind forking out some...
...solution is for the College to offer gender-neutral housing to all of its students. Harvard’s current gender-segregated housing policy for all but transgender students is outmoded, paternalistic, and ultimately unworthy of its rich progressive tradition.

"These two are probably the same person using different nicknames to drive up the price," he explains. It's a tactic Trung knows well-he says he has used...
...onto the list or not). But in Vietnam, a communist country in the midst of a capitalist makeover, personal wealth remains a touchy subject. After online news site VNExpress recently produced the country's first-ever ranking of the 100 Richest People in Vietnam, several moguls complained. "I wish they would have asked us before publishing," groused Nguyen Duy Hung, CEO of a Ho Chi Minh City brokerage firm who was ranked the country's sixth-richest person with stock worth $58 million. A prominent law professor speculated that miffed tycoons might be able to sue for invasion of privacy...
