Oxford is great and truly everything it is advertised to be. The SU could use a revamp, but the lack of a great SU doesn't really seem to impact things that much. I do wish there were more meetings available with the careers service. read more

The teaching quality varies wildly between courses and lectureres/tutors. While I have had some exceptional tutors, there are also a few who seem disinterested in teaching and simply reiterate answers to homework. I also had an excellent lecturer (yes it's singular) who actually cares about her students; there are also a few decent ones who made an effort to teach well. The vast majority of lecturers, however, range from mid to abysmal. Going to their classes can be a waste of time, and you can learn more from textbooks or MIT OCW. The terms and examinations are also a mess -- with only 8 weeks per term (3 terms per year), there is little time for in-depth coverage of course material, and topics frequently lack sufficient explanations. Exams are (almost) the only thing that determines the grades, but the quality of the exam questions are entirely based on the whim of the examiner, who might entertain themselves with testing niche or trivial things glossed over in the lectures. read more

Overrated, especially in terms of teaching. Professors are too focused on their research to bother much with you. Great city though. read more

Abolutely appalling place where bullying, victimization, harassment and croynism are the rule. The only thing you get out of Oxford is a degree. This place is run by cliques of lecturers who have all known each other for more than twenty years, and all cover for each other. Misogyny is pretty normal too. If you dare raise a concern, everything will be done to cover it up and silence you. Retaliation awaits you if dare say something and many lecturers are fundamentally contemptuous of students who, after all, are only cash-cows. At Oxford, internal regulation and the rule of all serve purely decorative purposes and don't be fooled by all the PR: they don't care about women, or students in general. At Oxford, only two things matter: a) extracting your fees b) maintaing their reputation. read more
