The tutors and students I spoke to on the open day were all incredibly encouraging and welcoming and I loved the thought of studying in such a unique community of passionate
and friendly students.Francesca

Oxford's reputation as a world-leading university for teaching and research made me consider applying, though I was worried it wouldn't be for me. After feeling the atmosphere and exploring the city on an open day I knew I wanted to spend the next few years of my life in Oxford.
