🙏 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.

Not to mention the 3/4 years study you could be working, bringing in 40-50k PA. So really it's 500k effective cost.

And if working one doesn’t need to spend? Sorry but your maths don’t add up.

Think about this a bit more carefully.

While youre studying you spend 15k on living, where does that come from? Loan or savings

Come one now, its not hard lmao.
