Hi there! š (Itās Olivia from Amherst.) Hereās a little bit about my life at Oxford and what I did there [last spring]:
One of my biggest commitments was playing for Oxfordās hockey team! I got to play my favorite sport abroad and meet a ton of really cool local students who showed me around the city and brought me to their different colleges.
My favorite memory being on the team was beating
Cambridge 4-0 in the Varsity match and having some students from the Middlebury program
come to watch!
I loved walking around the city and exploring different cafes and markets.
When the weather got a bit warmer, my friend and I joined local running groups where we did many of our runs in the Christ Church Meadow, which is beautiful in the spring.
Students who attend the Middlebury-CMRS program are associated with Keble College, and I also enjoyed exploring all the events Keble had to offer
like chapel services and formal dinners in the stunning dining hall.
As part of the program, students are also assigned to a seminar with people from their cohort. One fun memory I had was when my seminar on political philosophy had to get rescheduled to a Friday evening and our tutor brought us crisps and wine because of the time change.
While in Oxford, I ate tons of fish and chips, visited many pubs, learned so much, and met some really amazing people!
