Hi everyone, this is my first review. A friend asked me to share some of my experiences. Everyone imagines Oxford as an enchanted world where everything goes well and there are only brilliant people. This is not at all the reality.
I had good and bad teachers. I met good and bad students. There weren’t many internationals in my time and I felt a lot of discrimination, not always negative. Oxford was divided between English students and outsiders. Hence I don’t have many English friends and many of my best friends are Polish. I know Oxford has improved a lot since my time so I don’t think my experience at all reflects Oxford as it is today.
My advice is to take advantage of all that Oxford has to offer. From the rowing club to the consulting club everything is a networking opportunity that is the true value of oxford.
