I learned about how rigorous Oxford is, but like it's Oxford. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned how to be a better writer, which is a very useful skill. I think being able to improve in that area was worth it. Syeda Shermeen Raza - Middlebury College View Entire Review
How to conduct good research and write longer papers. How to be a more effective researcher and to more efficiently use resources. How to live in a city as a opposed to a rural campus. It was definitely worthwhile. Sammy Abdulrahim - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Yes, I met really smart people and motivated individuals. While only two classes were interesting to me, I also got exposure to other activities. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Yes, due to the academics and the community that the program inspires. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
This was definitely worthwhile. I pushed myself to my academic limits while adapting to a new country and having a good time. It was thrilling. Mark A Simonitis - Amherst College View Entire Review
I made a lot of American friends from other colleges that I still hang out with. I also learned how to write an 8 page essay in 3 hours which I think will help me going into senior year. I learned to work and study material at a new level and became a much stronger writer. I also had the opportunity to travel around other countr... Jill Staufer - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I got engaged! and spent a year in England! and went for walks in the same parks where the greatest minds in history walked off their hangovers! Definitely worthwhile. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I gained an appreciation of Shakespeare, the British people and culture, the Pakistani diaspora there. I made some excellent American friends, and it was absolutely worthwhile. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned the most when I was traveling, but not all students will have the privilege to do this, so for the general middle or lower class student population, I do not think that this program in particular is worthwhile. There was also hardly any support system for students of low income status. Everyone seemed to just assume th... A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
yes A student - Reed College View Entire Review
I definitely became more independent by living in a city. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Quite so! A student - Bates College View Entire Review
Yes, very worthwhile Bridget Colliton - Middlebury College View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwile, Oxford by itself is enough of a reason to study abroad there. Amazing experience, I would definitely go back again! Mateja Sela - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned a lot from an academic perspective, and gained a lot of confidence in my writing abilities. I also made really incredible friends whom I wouldn't have met otherwise. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Academically speaking, this was an incredibly rigorous experience that will prepare me for future challenges. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
My writing, editing, and research skills improved immensely. I can now skim through several books, identify important arguments and thoughts, and compose a 7-8 page paper in one week. I made new friends, played frisbee, talked to people with different views than my own, and made connections for life. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I definitively improved as a writer, and gained confidence in writing more professionally. It was also fascinating working under the Oxford system. I definitely found it a worthwhile experience... I just wish my Independent Research Professor had been more professional. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned that I am a much more capable student than I have previously given myself credit for. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Since I spent every week writing two essays and worked on a giant research paper for the last three weeks of the program, I really improved my essay writing and analytic skills and learned many tips. I became close with a lot of the students in the program, and established great connections with the students and staff. This was ... Mariya Khan - George Washington University View Entire Review
I gained a different learning module and a different thinking process A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
