If you can get a real experience and intellectual stimulation and even more than elsewhere, why continue to study?
At the beginning of the school year, it is surprising that there were six stories on education in one of the papers I took a look at the counter. Education and the future of it, is a hot topic in the light of heaven, shooting fresh, with a recession that even a first class degree does not guarantee much in the tight labor market.
However, my decision to get rid of a master class in Oxford after a week requires a little explanation to your friends and family. A short blog, written in response to all concerned, "Why?" has caused more noise than I expected. I began to see more pictures and more in the message, and then I started receiving emails, tweets and Facebook messages from friends and friends of friends, all to gain the support of my choice
The decision to go against convention and perception of safety (in the price of the enormous debt) and to choose, on the contrary, the great, world, evil, the work clinical depression was obviously touched a nerve.
Master of migration studies, a course offered jointly by the International Development and the departments of anthropology at Oxford, attracted about 24 students this year. I was one of two British students walk for a total of £ 13 000 per course -. Much more, of course, for international students
was certainly not the playlist I was intimidated, I had completed an undergraduate literature in English, reading a book off course by anyone who has read the inside. It was the intensity of a master of nine months, if I had just returned to England after a year of working with a film crew, where holidays were something that the others were allowed to do so. So my decision to accept a Master of Oxford was not taken lightly, but was thought publicly, online.
Through these conversations, I realized that Oxford plays an almost mythical, as the highest aspiration:. With this stamp in your passport, you can cross all boundaries of any work, more or less the only
Finally, all the doubts that had been so frank about the arguments were swept away as raw materials such as: "It is only nine months" and "Il
Oxford
! "However, a week, I changed my mind for reasons that I believe can not be just my experience, but may reflect a broader concern about the value of university education. For me, there was a number of inflection points that eventually argued against what appeared to be a good investment in education at Oxford.
We were college senior, but it was only the second year of the course. Thus, when the document to be submitted next week was only available for me to recover from two libraries of London, the British Library, got a bus back to photocopy what I needed. Even my university librarian, helps me make sense of the situation, agreed that it was "a bit cheeky."

- Oxford Tradition is something that will not escape. Harry Potter fans all that apply to the cloister walk and enjoy a flutter of the heart when a student dress sweeps the way to a formal dinner. Unfortunately, I'm on my crush Harry Potter and the habit of attending events such as TEDxLondon - The education revolution, inspired by Sir Ken Robinson provocations in 2006 on "schools kill creativity" (which by the way, it was viewed 7 million times). The attraction of this fascinating world in white when I realized that I had double booked. Yesterday, they had to register, and all subfusc the day of a "no" dedicated to - what else? - The future of the university. Subfusc My strong commitment to advance seemed pointless from -. I ended up in the "no"
? One of the strongest arguments against the stay the course was the closed door of my intellectual inquiry. I asked to attend certain conferences neuroscience, because I have interest to act together to cause these disciplines. The ministry said no, not allowed to attend the conference - they were medical students only
