Student review [#37685] for Criminology
at University of Oxford

I loved the first week. It was so good to meet new people and the college/department organized so many events for that. It was super busy to keep us from feeling lonely / homesick Great value for money, large rooms, good location. But it’s a shame that students have to unload their belongings during the holidays, which makes it difficult for those who don’t have a car or need a longer stay. Amazing library facilities across the city, with beautiful, well appointed study spaces. Sports facilities at the university and college levels are very social and welcoming for all levels. I’ve never been to the student union. The classrooms in my department (business school) are of incredible quality, but I know that in other departments they are outdated and have poor WiFi. The course is stimulating and the workload is motivating, a very good balance for each module. I had mixed opinions about the conferences. During the lockdown, the virtual lectures were so clear and made me realize how unclear some in person lectures were. I think students should get more recordings. I love living in Oxford City for its history and beautiful countryside, architecture and walks. It is quite expensive for students to rent and buy items from supermarkets which is a downside. Going to bars is also much more expensive than living in the city.
