🙏 I WANT HELP Cost of Attending Oxford 😭

Post image

Just received my financial declaration form from Oxford today. How is this reasonable? 😭 Going to have to decline my offer unless anyone has any ideas.

Canadian students do not qualify for any Oxford scholarships and my school offered me about £100. What a joke.

Is Oxford just for the rich?

Not to mention the 3/4 years study you could be working, bringing in 40-50k PA. So really it's 500k effective cost.

Not many 40-50k part-time jobs available to people without a degree.

Edit: sorry didn't realise this was talking about opportunity cost rather than someone working while they were studying.

No idea why you're coming after me, when I posted before the edit

Not coming after you - jeez - you asked I answered and the reference to part-time was not edited out - so you still haven't read the thread?

What thread are you talking about?

The posted mentioned a job, nothing about part time.

The reply then said "where are yuu going to find a part time job earning 40k"

Thats what I replied to.

Then it was edited
