Spring 2019 Participant
Oxford presented a caliber of work and level of critical thinking that I never knew I was capable of achieving. This experience is truly unparalleled to anything I have and likely will ever experience at the undergraduate level, and I cannot recommend it enough.

Mia Alexandra McKnight, Spring 2020 Participant
Seize the rich and numerous opportunities to discover your interests, passions, and talents. You really have freedom to experiment with what subjects you pursue and how you want to pursue them because tutors want to work with you and meet you where you are at skill-and-knowledge-wise and help you improve from there. This is a no pressure environment, but an invitation and encouragement for challenging yourself. Once I got over my initial anxiety, I realized I was surrounded by support academically and emotionally due to the kindness of my peers and instructors. Don't stress too much, but respect yourself and others by taking this opportunity seriously. Start thinking about where you would like to travel for weekend trips now and get pumped. Trips with others, even "trips" to the Bod or to Gail's or Blenheim Palace, is when I really forged new friendships. Make sure you book at the right airports and do your research concerning transportation. Take your work when you travel if possible/necessary. You can find a balance because almost everyone in my program did across different subjects, seminars, and tutorials. Find a work ethic that works best for you, don't compare yourself to others, and take the adventure and the challenges day-by-day. You will learn so much about the world and yourself, treasure this rare and special time! It flies by.

Kiana Marie Powers, Spring 2020 Participant
It was a wonderful experience that I wouldn't trade for the world - it expanded my perspective and opened doors to a plethora of opportunities and options.

The most significant take-away from my experience at Oxford is that studying abroad is so much more than just an opportunity for academic growth. I feel that I learned so much personally and emotionally as well. It was a true test of independence! I learned so much about time and money management!
