I learned a lot about myself and the environments that I enjoy living and working in -- I thought Oxford's architecture was beautiful, but I did find myself missing the green space at my home institution and where I grew up. I also learned that I like being in a classroom environment/academic setting that involves interacting wi... Catherine S - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Yes, I learned how to work with secondary literature. Maya B - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I gained valuable research skills, which give me confidence to trust my instincts when navigating research in both academic and professional settings. I learned to identify and review sources efficiently and tie together large quantities of information into precise arguments. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I was disappointed with a professor and administration A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
This was my first time being in another country and that alone was an amazing experience, I think the Oxford academic experience was challenging but obviously worthwhile. I think if anyone is going to do this program, they should be very prepared for just how intense it is. I felt unprepared for how hard it was actually going to...

While I am part of the majority of people who tend to roll their eyes when someone tells me their study abroad experience changed their life, I can now fully say that I understand the sentiment. You know nothing until you can compare your lived experiences with those of another country, it changes everything you know about the w... Anita B - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned that while I appreciate rigor and learned a lot through my tutorials, I also really value interdisciplinary learning, group discussions with other students, and hands-on learning outside of the classroom. I'm glad to have experienced the tutorial system, but my main lesson from my experience abroad is that it's not the... A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review

Academically, I improved alot Yuvraj S - Middlebury College View Entire Review
My experience abroad was unlike that of my friends. I did not get to travel every weekend. I did not get to explore the city as much as I would have liked. I did not get to socialize that often throughout the week. However, I am a much better writer, reader, problem-solver, and overall student. While it was hard, I knew that it ...

It was a life-changing experience that immersed me in academia like never before. I especially like the tutorial system because it keeps you accountable and allows for personalized attention, allowing significant improvement and pushing of boundaries.

Exposure to the Oxford tutorial model improved my overall academic skills considerably, from reading through sources to writing and analysis.

About
The Middlebury College-CMRS Oxford humanities Program offers a semester of yearlong study abroad experience in Oxford, England. Its affiliation with Keble College and central location in the historic city provides multiple opportunities for students to engage in Oxford's academic and cultural life.
The semester program curriculum is rooted in the liberal arts tradition: qualified students from all disciplines are welcome to apply.

Certain qualities are necessary if a student is to obtain maximum benefit from an education here: an inquiring mind, a critical approach to facts and, above all, a capacity for creative as well as analytical thought.
