For more information about the program, see: http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/programs/oxford/semester/index.php
Basically, 10 students from OSU's Moritz School of Law and 10 students from University of Georgia get to spend a semester studying abroad in Oxford. It's a rare opportunity, since most study abroad programs are for undergrads, and they're especially rare in law school, since the programs have to be ABA approved, which is difficult.
I've known for a while that I'll be going to Oxford this summer as part of the Summer in Oxford program, but it's only for 5 weeks, and so I was really hoping to get into the semester program as well. The classes are completely different, and the semester program runs while Oxford classes are in session, while during the summer program all the full-time Oxford students are on holiday.
In celebration of my acceptance, here are some things I'm looking forward to in Oxford:
The Eagle and Child, one of the pubs where the J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis used to meet: ----->The Natural History Museum:
I loved the Natural History Museum in Paris. It's not worth seeing if you're only visiting for a short time, but if you live there, it's one of the most peaceful museums in Paris. There's an aura of long-lost knowledge, undisturbed by hordes of tourists. I'm hoping the Natural History Museum in Oxford feels the same way. This picture looks promising:
