Great Program

From the moment I got there, I felt like I was in a whole new world. Lady Margaret Hall is one of the most beautiful campuses I have ever stayed at. There was support from day 1, all RA's and staff wanted to make sure you were comfortable. The first week was spent with ice breakers, yes it was awkward, but worth it. I made a group of friends within the first 3 days. Everyone found there little niche in the place. There were defiantly cliques, but none were 'exclusive' and everyone was really friendly since we were all thrown into the same situation. The academics were pretty good. A good class selection, and good teachers. Activities lacked on the other hand, but the kids were more focused on hanging with friends then participating in staff sponsered activities. The freedom to go into town eat and hang was amazing, there was a lot of freedom. I felt very safe though! There was always something to do, whether you actually wanted to go to the activity at night or go in to town with friends. I made such good memories, and I really miss it!

Critical Feedback:

There is a bit of a long walk into town. Maybe have a car or bus that can drive us in!
