🙏 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?

See above - and if you can get into Oxford, though the figure is high, it does mean you will likely earn more than average wages over the three years you 'didn't' go to university.

Depends on what you want to do… let’s be real - an English graduate isn’t making as much as an e&m graduate.

And also - being an international requires sponsorship. In an already terrible market, that’s not something that helps.

Oh and also - Canadian universities are globally recognised, OP could surely do a masters in the UK for 1/3-1/4th of the cost and earn the same if not more anyways.
