For now, the Website is probably your best bet.  

==Oxford City==

==Exeter College==

Simply the best.  A haven of light and of happiness in the centre of Oxford.  Must see: Bat colony, quad mice, beautiful Chapel.

It's also bigger than Jesus.  And better at rowing.

== The Programme==

It's not bad.  Sometimes the Director gives you porridge. And if you're lucky, a piece of bread.  But only when you do your work.  And that work will probably be making shoes.  Know how to use an awl?

===Housing===

Dormitory-style, 10 beds per room.

===Field Trips===

When the finished products get shipped down to London, some students get to ride with the cargo trucks.  In the cargo hold, of course.  Also once a year the more productive students get to go to Portsmouth to watch the container ships leave.

===Student Government===

There is a "GovCom" (governance committee), chosen from the students, who serve as foremen for the factory floor.

===Subsidies, Mobile Phones, Etc.===

I think the program(me) is getting new cell phones for the students next year.

==Academics==

There's a library so in your free time you can read books.

===Tutorial System===

Oxford is run on a [[tutorial]] system.  That means you, one partner, and someone with a doctorate or close to it.  Sometimes you have no partner.  For a full tutorial, you meet one hour a week for eight weeks, with an essay prepared for class.  For a half tutorial, it's every other week, four meetings total.  Both types culminate in a final exam, essay, or presentation.  

===Grading at Oxford===

Oxford students don't get grades.  Williams students studying at Oxford do get grades...usually better grades than they would have gotten had they stayed at Williams. 

===Courses of Study===

Alumni: let's try to get sections for as many subjects as we've taken, and comment on them.  This is the most important part, probably.

====American Studies====

====Anthropology====

====Arabic====

====Art History====

====Asian Studies====

====Chinese====

====Classics (Greek, Latin, Biblical Hebrew)====

====Comparative Literature====

====Computer Science====

====Economics====

Economists do it with models.

Economists do it with interest.

====English====

====French====

====German==== 

====History====

====Japanese====

====Lab Sciences====

====Literary Studies====

====Mathematics & Statistics====
Mathematicians do it discretely.

====Music====

====Philosophy====

Although Joe Cruz may try to convince you not to come, studying philosophy at Oxford makes you a more intellectually independent thinker.  You probably won't get reading lists, and you might not even get a topic.  Get ready for some quality hours slugging out in the Merton Street philo library.  You'll have access to every philosophy book or article ever written -- a far better collection than Williams -- and access to the best lecturers in the world.  Have fun!

====Political Science ====

====Psychology====

====Religion (Theology)====

====Russian====

====Sociology====

====Spanish====

====Theatre====

====Women's and Gender Studies ====
