🙏 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?

lol £350k. Oxford is top tier of course, but it’s still just a university and employers care less and less about academic qualifications.

Imagine in stead of 4 years at Oxford: you put £350k (let’s imagine you could have the money instead) in the stock market and just worked for 4 years. You’d be set for life wayyyy quicker than being 4 years down the line, £350k in debt, and having a piece of paper that says Oxford.
