 | vrukholm Dec 1 | Hello University of Tampa! My time in Oxford so far has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Though I have only been in Oxford for a little over two months, this city is one of my favorite places! One of my favorite things about my experience at Oxford is the ability to focus on two subjects of my choosing. My two tutorials are Abortion Laws in the EU and UK and the Philosophy of Tolkien. The tutorial system has proven to be my favorite way of learning and I have truly learned so much throughout my term here. I have been so fortunate that my tutors have been some of the most remarkable people I have gotten the chance to work with. They truly have taught me so much and they have challenged me weekly. In effect, I leave all my tutorials super motivated and my writing skills have definitely improved! I have also been super fortunate that for one of my tutorials I have gotten to go on mini "field trips". I have been able to look at medieval manuscripts as well as women's rights archives!  Besides spending time in various libraries working on my tutorials, I have spent a lot of time exploring Oxford! Some of my favorite places include Port Meadow and Christ Church Meadow. I love walking here and getting to see cows and horses up close! It's a good brain break in between reading and writing! I also love trying all the different restaurants in Oxford and exploring all the cute shops and bookshops. The Oxford Study Abroad Program also has provided four trips throughout the term: London, Bath, Cambridge, and Windsor. These have been great trips to explore other parts of England! Overall, this has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life and I am truly so grateful for the UT Honors Program and everyone who supported me to get here! | | | |
