Postcard from Abroad
Dear Office of Study Abroad:
The Duke in Oxford program was absolutely amazing. I went into the program with hopes of coming out of it with a newfound appreciation for Shakespeare and that’s exactly what happened.
My tutor was the best! He taught me how to read open-mindedly and see things from different perspectives, not just my own. The tutorial method really gives students the chance to express their ideas both verbally and in writing, not just one or the other. Having access to the world-famous Bodleian Library was incredible and New College had the ideal academic atmosphere for taking one’s studies seriously. Being so close to the city’s center was fun and convenient and London was only an hour and a half away by bus!
Not only did I come out of this program with a new love for Shakespeare but I also learned to be a better student. This is the one thing I can take with me for years to come, and of course my more immediate future here at Duke.
