Personal comments

We stayed in single-room houses at St. Anne's College, and had access to the libraries at Oxford, as well as the dining facilities at St. Anne's. In many respects, we had all the advantages of a typical St. Anne's student.

I would recommend the University of Oxford for an exchange placement or degree programme. The college system is unique and offers an opportunity to mix with students studying different courses - this leads to interesting conversation and personal growth. The teaching quality is excellent.

Pros

Best teaching, exciting opportunities, good libraries

Personal comments

The housing was neat considering it was such a historic building but had recently been remodeled. We had scouts to make our beds, clean the bathroom, and empty trash. The accomodations were very nice for on-campus housing

Academic

Course recommendations

We had fewer courses to choose from, through a special arrangement made by Stanford, but even then we couldn't go wrong. It was a chance for us to explore interests we wouldn't normally have time or opportunity to back at home.

Personal comments

Not at all. Academic standards in the UK are set very high, which I appreciated and learned a great deal from.
