Most Oxford study abroad programs are huge cash cows. Many of them don't even have any direct affiliation with the university and are just run by individual colleges. |

Date: January 19th, 2017 5:32 PM Author: burgundy aphrodisiac ladyboy field Oxford and Cambridge are collegiate universities. The individual colleges are very important. Many (most?) study-abroad programs are run by individual colleges, which may contract out the use of their their dining hall, etc. to programs which are not even taught by Oxford faculty or staff (or if they are, it's done so on a moonlighting basis to pick up a few extra quid on the side--this is actually pretty common to be fair) run by third parties.

Date: January 19th, 2017 9:39 PM Author: big idiot gunner Oxbridge is one of the bigger jokes in higher education. Half the students are dipshit Bougie legacies, another quarter are diversity colonial guilt admits, and then maybe a quarter are actually talented, although they're coming out of a relatively small pool that is far less competitive than US schools. The admission standards are a lot weaker than most other Western and Norther Euro elite schools but the age and British presumed prestige tradition of Oxbridge means they still get the most attention and slight recognition since even many proles have heard of them. Overall very unimpressive unless you're dealing with a hard science major or one of the few remaining handful of intense classical liberal arts majors.
