PPE at Oxford Past Review
By A student (Middlebury College) - abroad from 10/03/2016 to 06/17/2017 with
Lincoln College, University of Oxford - Visiting Students Program
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I learnt how to do independent study. I learnt how to manage writing 4000 words a week and still have a life. I engaged with my subject in a very focused and in-depth manner, and I really enjoyed that.
