Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |

|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
The administration at Blackfriars Hall is incredibly accessible and available. Offices are located right in the hall and administrates often leave doors open so one may just drop in to say 'Hi' or ask a question. Their hard work and dedication went far beyond any expectation I could have had. |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
I had my own room in a house of 8 other visiting students. We shared 3 bathrooms, a common room, kitchen, and a garden. There was also a leaning service that came once a week. <br /><br /> Beautiful housing, centrally located. |
| * Food: |
Delicious food, served at an all-male Hall in Oxford. A wonderful way to meet other British students. |
|
