2011 ​Aurora Study Tour 
Studying at Oxford has been an amazing experience with so many opportunities, both inside and outside the classroom.  I have built confidence as an individual and have made some great friends and connections. 

It also just created this network for me with all other Scholars.  You felt like part of a community there.
