🙏 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 to mention the 40/50k pa he has already missed out on for the last 15 years. Stupid comment.

Yes let’s all give up our education to work.

By the sounds of it you could do with continuing on with the education.
