Awesome experience Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

The educational experience was everything I hoped it would be (and more), to be honest.

On-site administration of your program

The program administrators were nice enough, but not always particularly helpful. Their administrative style was more scolding/disciplinarian than welcoming/helpful and they weren't especially amenable to criticism, though perhaps this will change in the coming years.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

Excellent. Would have been nice to be closer to campus, but this isn't really possible.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

Extremely integrated! Though this up to the individual. Integration comes with hard work.

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)

Oxford is a very expensive place. When you factor in the exchange rate, everything is about twice as expensive. It's pretty much up the individual to manage your money well. Some expenses are worth it though -- for example, I bought a bike, which not only was extremely helpful during my time at Oxford, but I was able to sell it at the end of the year.
