"I gained a lot of academic independence. All of my courses were one-on-one, which meant that there was both pressure to perform my best at all meetings and utmost attention given to my work by my tutors.

Past Review The Oxford Experience Oxford Study Abroad Programme (OSAP): Oxford - Study Abroad at Oxford University

"It was extremely worthwhile! It was a challenge to study abroad during COVID however, the one-on-one tutorial system was very nice to have because it was easy to replicate on zoom. I missed plenty of other things like formals and clubs but the education remained up to par. In all, I was able to meet many people in the program an..."
