Oxford is a great university. All the facilities you need, embedded in a city – so you are still living in a town rather than an isolated campus, and many more amazing qualities. But the best part of it is its brilliant students. I met amazing people at Oxford that became lifetime friends, and inspired me with their knowledge. I also for the first time felt that I fit in, and as they say: ‘found my groove’.
Oxford teaches you hard work, perfection (and the concept of 100%), and how to be extremely disciplined – self-discipline. But what you also end up with is accepting you are not the best, and learning an old-fashioned curriculum.
I feel like I left Oxford not feeling that I can be the best I can be. And that made me slow down in achieving and climbing.
However, overall it was a great experience, and I loved every part of the year of the masters degree.
