The Oxford Experience – raising students’ expectations

On 14 October 25 AS students spent a day finding out what it is like to be a student at Oxford.  After an initial fast-moving and thought-provoking presentation our students were introduced to two enthusiastic undergraduates, who talked about their experience of life and study at Oxford. 

We then split into groups and were taken on a tour of University College, the oldest of all the colleges, which boasts Stephen Hawking amongst its former students. After lunch in the mediaeval dining hall students explored the unique centre of Oxford with its ‘dreaming spires’ and opportunities for high quality retail therapy!
