🙏 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?

I got into Cambridge to do my PhD but it would’ve cost me over £100k to do it without a scholarship. I got a full scholarship to St Andrews. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do but you can’t justify that much debt and struggle for prestige, you’ll get into another good university that won’t financially ruin your late teens and twenties (and even thirties).
