Having been to both locations recently, there is a big difference between South Bend and Oxford. No offense to all of the Golden Domers & Hoosiers out there, but once you leave the ND campus, South Bend doesn’t have a lot to offer. And yes, while my son likely works harder at Oxford than he would have at a peer US college due to the intensity of the eight week terms, he loves that he didn’t have to take a traditional core curriculum and could go straight into what he wanted to do in his course. Which course were you accept to at Oxford?
