I really enjoy being at school. The teachers are amazing - they’re always supportive and passionate about what they teach. I’m learning so much and making memories that I’ll carry with me.
Starting my studies at Oxford was the best decision I've made during my stay in NYC. Learning inside a college in such an incredible location (right in front of the Empire State Building and Macy's!) has been amazing. The teachers are excellent, the methodology is effective, and my classmates are fantastic—it all makes my mornings absolutely great! I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in NYC.

Studying at Oxford has been great for my life, especially because I have classes all day. All classes are good, but the elective classes help me more because I can improve my speaking and my listening. The level of teachers is really so good, and the methodology helps a lot. My main goal is to improve my listening, and I think that I am getting there. Furthermore, we have the opportunity to talk with classmates from different countries and this can help us to understand English independently if it is spoken for a native or not.
