St. Antony's has been wonderful so far! Last night, the entire college had a welcome dinner in our dining hall (quite good - I had salmon and veggies), then went to a pub in an area of town called Jericho, just a couple of streets away. All of the students are so welcoming, and we are definitely the most international graduate college, which is perfect for my studies. Students who also did their undergrad at Oxford say St. Antony's is known as one of the best places to be a post-grad. I feel so fortunate! I want to buy a sweatshirt with our crest.
And I am exploring the area during my runs - so many interesting sites, quaint cafes, beautiful art shops....and of course old buildings. I feel like I am starting to really get my bearings. In fact, this morning I gave correct directions to a Portuguese student who had just arrived!
Tonight, John is picking me up for a Rotary meeting; the speaker will discuss the future of the town of Oxford. I am looking forward to seeing my counselor and Gyl!
Tomorrow, the International Student Orientations begin. I hope to learn lots of good info!
