One of the undergrads wasn't prepared for the higher costs, and ran out of money halfway through the trip. Also, we were responsible for all meals on weekends. (Pizza Hut was the only place open late...).

I spent less on the telephone bill simply because my cell phone doesn't work overseas. I spent more overall than I do at home because of the exchange rate.

Personal comments
Save up money for travel before you go abroad. I never expected traveling from Oxford to other places in the UK, like Edinburgh and Dublin, to be so easy. I wanted to travel and having the money to do so helps.

“Excellent Peers”
Simon N
Netherlands, Undergraduate
Economics, 2025
Overall
Oxford is an excellent environment owing not just to its superb professors but also to the peers you are surrounded with. I have met the smartest people in my life here who elevate me and push me to strive for the top of my field. You can always have an intelligent conversation with someone and learn from their experiences, which is a big change from high school.

Pros
The peers are extremely talented and you interact with people from other degrees

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
If I was to go back and study or work anywhere in the United Kingdom, I would like to live just as I would if I were a citizen of the country, rather than as a student. I want to be independent.

Personal comments
Because it was Oxford, I enjoyed living near that much history every day. The accomodations, while a bit of a shock at first, added to the overall experience.
