If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program? |
No
I would choose a program that allowed me to practice my French. Also Oxford didn't seem to integrate Americans into the school well due to the one-on-one tutorials which were often with other Americans if anything. They didn't have an orientation for the students joining mid-year. Finally, it took forever to get to Oxford to the airports in London. |
