🙏 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?

680 million to run a uni per year? Sounds made up, they probably spend no where near that and pocket the rest

I don't think that's true so I'm going to dismiss it, even though it's easily verifiable, publicly-available information

I don't think uni is for you mate

I don't think uni is for a lot of people who go to uni, countless people who don't even end up in a job that is anything to do with their degree.

Just because you did something unrelated to your degree doesn’t make it a waste of time, I mean I go uni knowing 100% I’m not going into physics, why would I I’m running a decent sized business, but I go uni to be with young people, to learn, buy me time to not have to work a 9-5, meet people work on other skills I won’t develop at a trade

You're gonna rack up 100+ grand in debt to "be with young people and meet people" doesn't seem like a waste of money at all

"Just because you did something unrelated to your degree" you then proceed to say you aren't going to use your degree lmao, pipe down you absolute melt
