Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
St. Edmund Hall is a friendly and tight-knitted community. Academic rigor is consistent with Oxford's reputation. The college is too small to provide on-site accommodation for visiting students, which could mean a little less interaction with the (undergraduate) student body. However, the overall experience is very rewarding. |
