• Have at least 1 backpack between 2 for diary use

• Do the shopping in London, because is a little bit cheaper and you have more variety of shops

• Use the public transport, for you will be free and its very punctual

• Have an umbrella because It can be sunny but the sky might fall for 5-10 minutes.

• Go to Decathlon, there you can find bunch of things waterproof and in a good price.

•On the weekend ask to the teachers if you can go to other cities, Oxford city is small and you’re going to run out of things to do

• Do all the activities after the classes that the school offer.

To develop the language capacity, try to learn the basic differences of language (learn Nouns, Adjectives, Verbs), principally related to questions and dialogues that will be probably used during the trip.

Try to learn the basic and necessary, enough to speak and understand the language. Try to practice with someone or alone previously to te trip.

Try to avoid being noisy, they are very respectful and not much talking.

People usually begin a talk by asking about the weather.

“Do come in” is a phrase in which you are invited to go through something such as an invitation.

Proverbs are very common as a way of learning  in Oxford.

Do not say "what" when you don't understand or hear, instead you can use the phrase: “say again”

Be respectful with the language, don't talk behind someone's back and explain what you say if in a moment you talk in your language, do not use it as an excuse to say whatever thinking that nobody understands.

•Carry your student ID always (discounts in a lot of places)

•Try the local food (fish and chips)

•Go to a pub.

•Get a SIM card (if you use roaming you will have a lot of places without signal).

- Always try to get dinner by 6:30 to 7:30

The city was built with the same architectural style as the University’s, and that is also the most outstanding characteristic of the place. The architecture is a mixture of Baroque, Gothic and Medieval styles, and is so stunning at sight that it takes your breath away!

Oxford could also be described as a city that has “stayed in time”, but it counts with advanced technology that takes life quality to a whole new level!

The anecdotes will live forever in everyone's memory. You will be staying with a family, where you are given a key to leave and return as you please. Breakfast and dinner are also included every day (lunch is served at the school). This trip also offers many fun programs every day, and these plans will allow you to make new friends from other countries.

In conclusion, I recommend it to everyone because it truly is a unique and unrepeatable experience.
