Absolutely completely worthwhile, I learned so much about how to think and what it really means to be a student. I was given insight into different parts of my personality that I never though existed. I was given the opportunity to meet some of the most wonderful people I have ever met in my life. I was also faced with some peop... A Student - Villanova University View Entire Review
Yes, I learned a lot about my subject and my own academic needs. I know now that I don't want to attend graduate school for literature, because the solitary nature of that work does not suit me. However, I will carry the things I learned about England and lit in general with me for the rest of my life. Laura I - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned about the culture, different study methods, time management. I was able to travel. Lucas M - Trinity University View Entire Review
I learned to write fast. If you're thinking about grad school, you should definitely think about Oxford. If you're a little more career oriented, it may not be the best option (hint: LSE) Mathew K - Brandeis University View Entire Review

It was extremely worthwhile. I learned a lot about many different cultures. A student - Austin College View Entire Review
Surprisingly for a study abroad program, what I gained the most from my time in the UK was academic. My tutor was a wonderful, helpful man, but he definitely pushed me. I learned a lot and became friends with him by the end. I also loved Oxford's 6-week-long Spring break, which gave me a TON of time to travel around the conti...

Oxford was incredible. During my time there, I have fallen even more in love with academia and with England. I am now considering applying there for grad school at some point in the future. Emmamarie H - Carleton College View Entire Review
