Oxford: The time I fell into the Book Past Review
By Suzanna D (English, The Catholic University of America) for
OPUS - The Oxford Programme for Undergraduate Studies
This experience was completely worthwhile. I learned so much not only about the subjects I picked but how I work as a person in a more independent, work oriented and foreign setting and how the world works beyond the American east coast.
