Tough but worthy experience ever Past Review
By A student (Economics/Computer Science, Brandeis University) - abroad from 10/13/2014 to 06/19/2015 with
St Peter's College, University of Oxford - Visiting Students Program
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
First of all, I haven't seen such a long reading list for one week.... It intimidated me in the beginning of the year; however, I could find myself getting comfortable with the materials and actually enjoyed for some interested topics. And the tutorials were very helpful because I was able to ask all the questions and interact with the tutor. Other than the academic life, Oxford has variety of events, societies and sports which intrigued me a lot as well as classic libraries, dining halls and colleges.
