“When walking down the High Street in Oxford, you walk in the footsteps of Kings, Saints, and luminaries such as John Locke, Christopher Wren, and T.E. Lawrence. This reputation imbues an almost tangible challenge to meet a standard of excellence demanding an appropriate amount of effort and success.” Andrew Miller, Class of 2005 “I’ve learned to become a much more independent and productive student.  I'm able to actually read and dissect material and create more abstract theses as well as construct better-formed arguments in my writing.  My discourse has improved as well, and I'm even more confident in discussing philosophy and politics with other bright individuals.  Oxford is a living and breathing intellectual entity in which it is nearly impossible to lose focus or sight of what you're learning and thinking about, or more importantly, of yourself."
