[[Category:Academics]][[Category:Academic programs]]For now, the Website [http://www.williams.edu/dean/oxford/index.php 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.
== 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===
