THE VISITING/EXCHANGE STUDENT EXPERIENCE!

[@cchacon6784]

I was wondering how the work itself compares between US colleges and the UK? For example, are the standards of essay writing the same? Did you get any guidance on how to write your essays to Oxford standards upon visiting? For reference, I am an American student with an offer to attend next year and I'm concerned I'll be out of my depth switch from American high school standard writing to Oxford standard writing.

Hey, I'm just an offer-holder too, so I don't know first-hand , but from all the vlogs I've watched the essay writing process definitely seems to be quite intense. We'll have to refer to many more sources, and sources that are usually first-hand and have deep argumentation, as opposed to simplified versions online. But, the freshers also say that their first few essays were received kindly by tutors, knowing that it takes time to figure it out. The tutorial system being so personal, I feel like there'll be time to adjust, so I don't think you'd be out of your depth.

I would rather not go to Oxford at all then go on an exchange because I wouldn’t want to leave
