I am thankful that I had the chance to attend Oxford, and absolutely loved my time there! It is truly a magical place, the people, the campus, the city, all of it is amazing, it has such a rich history and culture! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! If you have the opportunity, I strongly recommend attending!

Oxford was three of the best and worst three years of my life. While it is fantastic to have the level of attention you get from tutors (I also had a great personal tutor!), it is a breeding ground for stress and exasperation of mental health issues. I would only advice someone to go there if they truly adored their subject – two essays a week is too much if you are not interested.

I had a good time because I made great friends, and enjoyed the work (just) enough. But I wouldn’t go there if I had my time again.

Rent is ludicrous – if you go, make sure you do something about this!
