James

Year 13 Student

"Having spent two years in Oxford, not only can I say that I received a good education from Oxford International College, I also had a fantastic time as well. I furthered my badminton to such a level that I was playing in the local Oxford league! Overall, coming to OIC was the best decision I ever made."
