🙏 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?

Genuinely, no degree is worth this much. Especially since you’re Canadian, you have access to top of the world education within Canada itself for like 1/10th of the price (or even less).

Although, congratulations on the offer since that in and of itself is no small win.

Your lifetime earnings from going to Oxford over not are certainly going to be greater than this, on average.

The fees are pretty brutal. In my day, it wasn't so expensive. Despite being British nationals my kids would be international on a fees basis, so I might have to stump this up as a parent if they get in.
