Is headington really "pleasant" MikeyB! 20:17, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
If it is not 'pleasant', then at least it is an expensive, calm and posh area. I live in Oxford (although not in headington...)--DragonFly31 14:27, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
It's not calm, it's full of bloody pikeys. </pov> 3dom 00:26, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
There is a distinct lack of mention of the gipsy lane campus, which is, as an educational facility, much larger than The headington campus which is generally a student union bassed campus.

the gypsy lane SITE and the headingington hill SITE are both part of the headington campus so any mention of gypsy lane would only be as a subdivision of the headington campus Nicoli nicolivich 18:32, 9 November 2006 (UTC) (brookes architecture student)
- They are, however, both on different sides of the road and as such I would say that they are distinctly separate despite them being grouped together by brookes.Darryl L James 18:35, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] POV
Updated to balance a certain anti-brookes flavour, however unintentional it may have been.
- In its current state the first few paragraphs almost seems to read like copy written by Brookes., phrases such as "Efforts by Brookes to forge a distinct and recognisable identity are a work in progress" with no source, "testament to the hard work and dedication of its staff" starts to sound biased etc. etc. Probably needs toning down a little. -- Pishmishy 16:03, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- Agreed. Go ahead and make some changes. --ElKevbo 16:40, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Best new University? Stats? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.22.78.111 (talk • contribs) 20:39, February 12, 2007.
- Agreed. I trimmed the most blatant POV and unsourced academic boosterism and added several requests for citations. --ElKevbo 03:12, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] University ratings
(I'm posting this to all articles on UK universities as so far discussion hasn't really taken off on Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities.)
There needs to be a broader convention about which university rankings to include in articles. Currently it seems most pages are listing primarily those that show the institution at its best (or worst in a few cases). See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Universities#University ratings.
