culture exposure, depth of academic teaching, great friends! A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
About the UK, politics living independently Nora R - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I achieved a work-life balance which had so far been elusive at my U.S. university :) I was learning so, so much, yet I was not constantly stressed. I met so many lovely, lovely people whom I know I will keep in touch with. I learned so much! The tutorial system and the greater specialization that exists at Oxford (arguabl...

My junior year abroad has been the most exhilarating and growing experience. Extending my stay at Oxford for the full year was the best decision I made. I tried out boxing, blind wine tasting, rowing, went to a million balls and formals. I learned about friendship and how to cook and to be independent. I traveled during the brea...

I learned how to be an independent and more critical student. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I gained amazing friends and relationships, I learned to go outside of my comfort zone and gained confidence in doing so, and was inspired to do a masters program abroad. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Yes! Academically I grew so much by being able to focus on my subject and participate in the tutorials. I improved as a writer and learned to produce a lot more work each week. Socially I made a lot of local friends and immersed myself in the culture. I learned a lot about Britain and its history, especially through the traditio...

Super worthwhile; learned a lot about making new friends since I haven't done that in a while, and learned a lot about my academic study/learning style as the program was different from American schools. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Different ways of learning and living. Overall worth it A student - University of Oxford View Entire Review
I learned how to create a good work-life balance and made the most amazing friends! Tatia B - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned how to live independently and overcome obstacles that come with it. I grew to understand myself more by living in a different culture, no matter how similar it looks on the surface. It was academically challenging and I felt lost at times, however I relied on my new friends and was always able to push through it. Anastasia K - Wellesley College View Entire Review
New academic writing style Shen-Ming Syz - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I think it was worth while. I became more independent about my own learning and exploring. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I gained in-depth understanding of my field (linguistics) and exposure to a wide variety of topics that aren't available in a small liberal arts institution (e.g. indo-european morphology) that has (definitionally) fewer opportunities. I gained a lot from independent research. I learned most of all, how to be independent and to ... A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
As mentioned above, I gained incredible friends and traveling experiences. It was definitely worthwhile. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I gained and enhanced many skills. The tutorial system teaches you how to better manage your time as there is only one or two contact hours per week. I also enhanced by communication skills through engaging in one-on-one discussions with tutors where I advocated for my ideas. I also had the opportunity to grow and discover a new...

In addition to a lot about my course, I also learned a lot about myself and my adaptability in a new place. Learned about British customs and a lot of Oxford history. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned a lot academically/writing in a new system, and was able to experience a new culture outside the US. It was definitely worthwhile. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Not only did I learn under a different teaching style, I also got to experience cultures different by interacting with locals. Travelling around Europe was also extremely convenient, and traveling became part of the highlights of my abroad experience as well. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
- I took 300-level courses in economics, and learned about many aspects of economic issues - I improved my skills in making friends and connecting to others - I learned that I wanted to pursue an advanced degree after college A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It was very worthwhile. I learned a bit about the UK and, through that, a bit about myself and the US. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I got to learn to balance work and private life. It was worthwhile because Oxford was a different kind of 'bubble' than I've experienced at my home institution. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It was worth it, the academic challenge was good and I also get to experience British culture Yufei L - Wellesley College View Entire Review

Yes. I can't begin to articulate how it has helped my gain so much perspective on my academic, professional, and spiritual life. My year abroad has given me so much and more. Gabrielle Inchoco - Wellesley College View Entire Review
About
If you are a student from overseas (in most cases countries outside the EU) and wish to spend up to one year in Oxford on a course related to a degree in your own country, you can apply to a college for a place as a Visiting Student. As a Visiting Student you become a member of an Oxford college, and it is the college that will arrange for your tuition. Oxford does not award a degree or any other qualification for one year of study as a Visiting Student, but colleges are willing to provide a record of achievement, for example for credit purposes.
