Great opportunity to study in a different academic environment Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

On-site administration of your program

Everyone in the administration will always try their best and they are all very helpful, however being a Visiting Student often creates some confusion and so you have to stay a bit on top of things yourself. Before I arrived there was very little information about VS course selection, reading lists etc and they didn't reach out with this info until late late summer, so I recommend being pro-active and reaching out to the college yourself (or to past Visiting Students) if you want pre-arrival information a bit earlier.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

Very nice rooms. Had a room with a bed, large desk, desk chair, two separate chairs, table, dresser, shelves and wardrobe. En-suite private bathroom with shower. Oxford also still have "scouts", so housekeeping will empty your trash cans and clean your bathroom weekly.

The food in college was okay, but do not expect a lot of healthy options. Food works through a "declining balance" system and this is non-refundable so from a budgeting perspective I highly recommend trying to eat in hall. However, meals are served during quite limited hours (do not expect the flexibility of Middlebury dining halls), and for someone who has commitments during meal hours because of lectures, sports etc there are very limited other options in-college. I therefore ended up buying a mini fridge so that I could make salads, wraps etc in my room if I got back to college after the meal services had ended.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)
