Oxford

Greetings from Oxford! For those of you I haven't met yet, I'm Teresa and I'm spending my junior year here in England. Hope you're all doing well and enjoying spring semester. We're on a trimester system here and we're just about to finish our second term. By the way, we get six weeks of vacation in the winter and another six weeks of vacation in the spring!

As if you needed another reason to study at Oxford (besides the academics, cultural experience, and long vacations), I thought I'd post a few pictures to encourage you to apply to the Blackfriars program through SII. By the way, if some of you have a few questions about what it's like studying at Oxford, just send me an email at teresacgarcia@yahoo.com and I'll do my best to answer them! Also, I have more pictures on my blog, First Impressions.
