Obviously not being on campus last term was not ideal, and online learning has had its challenges, but overall I’ve really enjoyed my course so far and felt supported by the university.

Vary between accommodation blocks but overall not bad. Have access to a kitchenette, shared bathrooms, etc.

The support is definitely there if you need it and the welfare team is great.

Totally online, we have a great number of contact hours and a lot of support from tutors.

There are a number of schemes in place to help with finding internships and jobs, as well as regular guest speakers and career support.

This year has been really nice in terms of getting used to the Oxford workload. While covid has limited the social side of things it has given me the time to adjust to work. This term the social side has come back and I feel well equipped to balance everything. My tutors have been really good at supporting me and my tute group through this tricky year. They've all been very understanding and accomodating to my mental health needs. Although my tutors have clearly done their best, online learning hasn't been as good as in-person. I feel that there are still significant insecurities in my knowledge due to the open-book nature of our exams and teaching.

Could do with longer-term counselling provisions

My tutors have been the most friendly teachers I have ever had. In my first term and I had lots of problems with my mental health, my tutors were so incredibly supportive. The workload had been very intense, but not unmanageable. I would say that my tutors have been as keen to do things in person as we are so have managed to do as much in person work as possible. The tutors on my course are very casual and understanding. The contact hours are a lot higher than I originally thought, but I am doing a language ab initio so the classes are helpful. The modules have been good this year as they cover a very broad range of topics. This means that if you hate one thing, you don't have to spend too long on it. Speaking lessons can be a bit arduous and feel a bit useless, but they're definitely good to at least keep my language ticking over.
