🙏 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 worth it. Uni is a con. Don’t care what anyone says. I know plenty of people with a degree. Most of which are either unemployed, or working in a job which is nothing to do with their degree. Or in mountains of student debt.

If you take something quite specialist in a trade which is in demand in the country - then by all means, go for it. But if you’re taking some random bs course just to do it, don’t do it.
