<p>Hey,</p>
<p>I was wondering why people choose to apply Oxford College. When would it be appropriate to apply there?? Do you miss out on any opportunites at Emory or anything? I guess my question is.</p>
<p>WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGES of attending OXFORD COLLEGE..?</p>
<p>Brother transferred out after one year - Emroy in a year wasn't worth the pain of going there another year. I have heard nothing but bad things and I personally know about 20 Oxford people.</p>
<p>Hey slipper, is it possible to transfer out of oxford after one year to Emory? Is it like insanely hard or something?</p>
<p>Its pretty much impossible. My brother transferred to UNC-CH. In fact I highly recommend transferring there. Out of state applicants get in state preference as transfers so its one of the easiest top schools to get into as a transfer. Oxford seemed lke one of the worst college experiences out there. My brother is 300 times happier at UNC.</p>
<p>what were your bros stats after 1st year.</p>
<p>He had a 3.5 at Oxford first semester and retook the SAT boosting it from a 1260 to a 1380.</p>
<p>DukeDev,</p>
<p>Slipper's comments were heavily biased and not substantiated. I have friends from Oxford who like the place and as a matter of fact one of them even misses it now that he is in Emory Coll. Oxford is more of a small community school. If you are the type of guy who likes going unnoticed than I guess it's not the right place for you.</p>
<p>oxemory is insanely small. Imagine a circle with a 150 yard diameter and imagine like 8 building around it. It's small. trust me i know i visited there less than a week ago. Academically i'd say it was pretty good (the same as emorys). If you want a party school with a huge party scene dont go to oxford.</p>
<p>Ps. wow slippy that UNC Chapel Hill transfer seems really appealing..i might do that (do you think your bro just got lucky or is it really that easy to transfer?)</p>
<p>Its ridiculously easy. It might be the easiest top 25 school to get into as a transfer, funny since its so hard for out of state freshmen.</p>
<p>My brother is having the time of his life there. He could not have hated Oxford more.</p>
<p>I know Oxford VERY well. My brother went there and I lived on Claremont Campus last summer which was full of Oxford students. I hung out with Oxford kids daily. 90% hated it,</p>
<p>that is...awesome :) thanks for the info!!!</p>
<p>i've heard that people waitlisted in Emory have the option of going to the Oxford college if they need more freshman at the school</p>
<p>true .</p>
<p>^^^
Wow, that's a tough deal, how much does going to Emory mean to you?</p>
