Dreaming Spires
On Saturday 6th July we went to the beautiful city of Oxford to experience one of the oldest universities in Britain. We. had the opportunity to converse with current students at the prestigious University of Oxford. Our visit included an interesting tour of University College, one of the oldest and most famous colleges at Oxford, hosted by Baroness Amos herself, the Master of the college. We also toured other colleges like Worcester, giving us a good look at the different parts of the university and a chance to ask questions about student life and the school’s traditions.
While at Worcester College, we admired the beautiful lake, a peaceful spot that adds to the college’s charm. At one point, a member of our group almost slipped into the lake!
In the afternoon we joined a Q&A session with students studying Engineering and Computer Science; this was my favourite part of the trip. The students shared their personal experiences, thoughts on interviews and admissions tests, and gave us greater understanding of the challenges and rewards that Oxford has to offer. This trip has only strengthened my resolve to work harder to achieve my goals, perhaps even attending Oxford myself!
