Oxford University - Unparalleled, Life-Changing Experience Past Review
By A student (Wellesley College) - abroad from 01/11/2016 to 06/18/2016 with
University of Oxford - Visiting Students
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Going to Oxford was incredibly worthwhile. I would even go so far as to say it was the best five months of my life. The tutorials were rigorous and engaging, and the one-on-one teaching/learning style was exactly what I craved. The social aspects were far from lacking; I became friends with many local students and American study abroad students alike, and was completely immersed in the local English culture.
