Student review [#37671] for English and Creative Writing
at University of Oxford

It’s fun, and a good opportunity to meet lots of new people. There’s a variety of social activities both in and out of college, and also lots of workshops for our subject and general university guidance. Beautiful rooms and most of us had en-suite bathrooms. The food in college is also mostly good, and there is a variety for different dietary needs. The university libraries are world-class, and earth college has its own library. The English faculty library is modern and airy, although it could do with more workspaces with plugs for laptop chargers. The flexibility is the best element, as you could study largely what you were interested in, within the historical parameters of the course structure. The lectures are also interesting, although we’re not always directly relevant to the work we are doing with our tutors. The city is beautiful, and has an excellent variety of independent restaurants and cafes, making good food very affordable. West gate is a good centre for shopping, and the Covered Market is unusual.
