Lady Margaret Hall’s small, intimate setting makes it a fantastic college for study abroad students.  The dining hall, bar and chapel are all in the same building as freshman housing, making it easy to find your friends and meet new people.  Unlike colleges located in Oxford City Center, LMH also has gorgeous gardens and a relaxed atmosphere that help students focus.  I had no trouble making friends at LMH, and even have plane tickets to visit them soon.

Academically, I also had a spectacular time, largely because my tutor ensured that I had the authentic Oxford experience.  I attended lectures and tutorials with Oxford students and was held to the same standards.  This experience pushed me to achieve my finest academic work yet.
