Academically rigorous and fun loving at Oxford.
Tips: It is competitive to get to Oxford, and it makes a lot of sense if you come here with a scholarship. The university is lovely and the environment is encouraging and challenging with rigorous academics. Students usually spend hours in libraries during exam times. However, it is equally fun too.
Likes (Part time work): There are multiple part time jobs for students. Although I don't engage in one myself, half of my friends do, including restaurants, etc. They manage it well and are paid the minimum UK wage, which is around 12 pounds per hour. Hence I think it is not that bad.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The UK requires a minimum stay of around 10 years to get PR, however, it can vary if you get the Global Talent visa. I think I will be going for the latter option after finishing my Ph.D. which offers PR in 5 years. Maybe I will look for PR, given that the opportunities are good.

Oxford is an academic disneyland.
Tips: Please have a complete knowledge of the course that you are studying because it is really competitive and intense. The courses here at Oxford are designed to help students incorporate critical analysis skills, so they are very indulging and mentally demanding.
Likes (Indian Food): There is a street in Cowley Oxford which has all the food options from all the countries. It is locally known as diaspora street! There are restaurants catering to gastronomic needs from across the globe. There are also convenience stores that provide food sourced directly from India at a competitive rate.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The public transportation is not at all reliable. Buses are cancelled frequently. There is no other public mode of transport for students. The black taxis are out of reach, with average fares being GBP 45 for a couple of miles. The minimum bus fares are GBP 2.8 for 1 tap.

Funding, academics and life at Oxford.
Tips: In order to be eligible for scholarships/funding please apply before the December deadline else you will not be eligible. Oxford has different colleges do your research, see the fellow that are in your college and the accommodation before putting in a preference while submitting your application. Always attend the tutorials; it is a great way to brainstorm and build critical thinking. The faculty and department are very helpful; you can always reach out to them and build connections! There are a lot of formal balls; do not feel pressured to attend everything. Prioritise your needs, especially when you first transition. Buses are expensive, 35 is a day pass and 25 is a week pass. I'd suggest getting a bike or living close to your department.
Likes (Value for money): To be able to meet and learn from a faculty that include noble laureates, constant exposure to highly translational research and accessibility to all the resources is incredible. There are tons of networking opportunities available! The labs have quite advanced instruments too for which the price is justified. The investment you make in this course, with the help of the network you build has a great ROI.
Dislikes (Part time work): On-campus part time jobs are available but highly competitive. Moreover, the Master's course is quite intense to be able to manage part-time work. The career service at Oxford does provide a good platform to look for part time roles and internships.

Amazing MBA experience with less focus on academics.
Tips: The student life in Oxford is crazy. Being in a collegiate system and getting to interact with people pursuing other degrees including phds is something only Oxford offers. The university town experience is also something very different. It was truly the best year of my life socially. Try to get scholarship, there are too many sources and ways to get one. Try to be proactive and reach out to more people and start working towards your post MBA goal even before MBA starts. And lastly try to also network with people from other B-schools.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The college doesn't prepare you for post MBA jobs. The resources and tools are less. There is very less specific advice. I expected more from a business school. I feel Indian MBAs are more prepared to look for jobs. So a lot of people in the ten batch are still struggling to get jobs, also because of the UK economy.

Wholesome college experience; can do better for career.
Tips: This MBA course is good for student experience in terms of providing with a good international network and talks/ sessions, but has a good understanding of where you really wanna go after Masters. Career switch is very limited and not that much possible from non-UK countries especially India. Do proper research on which electives will help boost your career as well.
Likes (Student Life): I have walked late nights across Oxford and haven't encountered any theft or harassment cases. So it is a very safe student city. You would hang out with your Oxford friends and would not feel alone, and experience the cultures of different countries as well. There are a lot of events in Tech, Consulting and Product.
Dislikes (Value for money): The value for money is not justified as you pay so much for tuition fees, you get a good experience but if you want to settle in Europe/ UK after MBA, the opportunities are limited. Visa sponsored jobs are minimal and the pay is not very high. Better to get a scholarship, otherwise choose some other B-School.

A magical year filled with new experiences and impact on my future self.
Tips: Oxford has plenty to offer, make sure you dabble into anything you might find interesting. Do your research on scholarships. I got a full ride covering my tuition and living expenses because I planned ahead. It was the best year of my life more because of the culture on campus.
Likes (Student Life): Amazing extracurriculars, great parties, plenty of interest based groups be it academic, sports or social the collegiate system offers an interdisciplinary exposure to all students. The culture of formal dinners, festivals, ball and talks keeps the city vibrant though it's a small town.
Dislikes (Part time work): Oxford is a small town. There are only a few opportunities for students. Many students find work during the summer, winter and spring break and this is mostly full time and often with the university itself. There are opportunities to work on campus but not too many folks work during class hours.
