Dedicated lecturers, state of the art facilities, and plenty of time to study. That’s what we, a group of year 11 students, found out could be in store for us, when we went on an overnight trip to Oxford, to get a feel for university life. We all soon learnt our way around the city after being sent on a “treasure hunt” to find famous buildings such as the Bodleian Library and Oxford Museum of Science. Shortly after, we were lucky enough to be taken around the prestigious “Christ Church College” by a current student who answered all our questions about the subjects, accommodation, and our most pressing issue, the food. We also learnt about the history of Oxford, from the middle of the Isis on a boat, as we were driven up and down the stretch of the Thames which runs through Oxford, where future Olympians practice for the annual Oxford vs. Cambridge boat race. To finally get a feel for the culture, we visited Oxford’s finest Frankie and Benny’s and Bowlplex. Everyone had a brilliant time and it opened our eyes to future possibilities to look forward to.
