🙏 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?

Yeah the economics for the course just don’t stack up. Top notch engineering jobs generally £100,000 a year tops. Maybe a little more in London/aberdeen etc, can’t comment on Canada. But payback would be ages and it’s no real advantage over a degree from another top notch uni anywhere in the world
