Amazing Academic Experience! Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

The academics were absolutely incredible! Loved every minute of the learning experience at CMRS. It was an incredible experience that I would gladly do again.

On-site administration of your program

The administration, however, were very disappointing. If you are not studying subjects directly related to Renaissance/Medieval studies (e.g. Economics), prepare for a difficult time. Nevertheless, do not let that deter you.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

Prime location, with all the necessities you needed.

Cooked for myself rather than eating at the college dining halls. This was due to the 10 minute walk, and the lack of edible food that you were likely to find at the other end. It was a nice community in the kitchen, which made cooking even better!

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

I met plenty of locals! Loved spending time in a local pub watching Premier League and rugby games. I made lots of friends that way.Other Oxford students, on the other hand, were quite difficult to get to know on a personal level. Although I was actively involved in a dance group, football team, and a number of other societies, students were so busy that it was hard to get to know them and be involved in the typical Oxford social scene.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

Had a dental emergency. The administration was no help whatsoever, but the dental practice was great!

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)

If you don't eat out, and don't frequent cafes, you will do absolutely fine.
