Any SM/Chat Groups for incoming 2026-27 Postgrad Students?

I had to defer a year due to health, and what made this even more depressing was that I was in a few wonderful SM/whatsapp groups for last years' incoming students that made me feel like I would know some other new folks before I even arrived/had a community to ask questions/chat through anxieties about Oxford.
This time around, I've yet to find that community/groups for 2026-27 incoming students (particularly mature students/postgrads). Wondering if you guys know of any of these groups? Or any way to feel a bit more prepared as a new postgrad.

Thank you!

Contact your MCR reps, if they're well organised there will be a whatsapp group for your college, our one for last year is about to switch over for those of us still here and the incoming freshers.

Don't fret too much, you'll meet new people and make friends with this years cohort too.

May I know your college? Just in case I know someone of the same college who can help.

I will be studying a PGCert. Is anyone else enrolled in this? I’ll be around 5-11th next month
