“Intensive, immersive educational experience”
Pratyush G

Literature, 2025
Overall
The education at the University of Oxford corresponds to its level of international esteem to a considerable extent, and this materialises particularly in the heavy workload and rapid succession of content. Its adherence to tradition, both academically and culturally, provides a unique university experience and facilitates the transition between school and the working world.

Careers
The university does have a careers system which does offer both internship/job opportunities for undergraduates and post-graduates. There are also numerous careers fairs and advisory centres for the students.

Pros
The immersive tutorial experience which provides high-quality one-on-one insight on the course, between tutor and student.
Cons
The workload and intensity is high, which is often overwhelming and unrealistic. This can be demoralising and conducive of a toxic working outlook and environment.

I wish I had known...
To bring sneakers or better shoes-- the guidebooks said that the Brits didn't wear jeans and sneaks much, so I didn't bring them. My feet hurt..... Also, who knew they rode so many bicycles?

Go! Don't let anything/one scare you off if you really want it. I went in the year of Mad Cow, etc. So we couldn't hike- we found more than enough other things to do.

Personal comments
We went to this bar called Bridge almost every night we were in Oxford. It was so much fun, very much an American-ized taste in music. It was funny how almost every bar we went to played a Grease medley. I really enjoyed eating at Harvey's and Pret-A-Manger, both great eateries for sandwiches. The covered marker is also something that anyone should experience. I would also recommended Ahmed's for late night eating. It is an elongated kabob stand with all sorts of things to eat (the hummus and fries are AMAZING!)

Academic
Course recommendations
Read as much as possible on 16th and 17th century English History and Literature before arriving... when there, it's often difficult to focus on academics with so many activities available. If you are prepared beforehand, you can better enjoy the best of both worlds.

Personal comments
No-- the program is challenging and demands a great deal of its students; yet you learn an immense amount in a short time.
