Visitor Feedback...

Thank you for such an informative and enjoyable open day! It was a fantastic experience for me as I had never been to Oxford before and knew barely anything about the university. The relaxed and welcoming attitude of all the staff and students was refreshing and dispelled any preconceptions about the university and the type of people who study there. It was also the only open day I have been on where all the potential applicants mingled and got to know each other, which was a really positive experience. The talks and lectures were also very informative. I left Oxford on the Wednesday evening full of enthusiasm about applying and hopefully studying there.”

Thank you very much for the open day at St Anne's today. It was thoroughly enjoyable and incredibly inspiring, particularly the student ambassadors present who were so helpful with information and guidance. Oxford University lived up to every expectation and I will be applying as soon as possible!”

I would like to thank you and your colleagues for a stimulating day at St Anne's last week. I found the day very helpful and it opened my eyes to the variety of options that abound, as well as being informative.”

Thanks for a really great open day – it was so informative, relaxed, helpful and just an enjoyable visit in general! (The best and most useful open day visit by far!). Thanks for organising the day, and to the students for their invaluable advice.”

I just want to thank you for putting on such an interesting and informative day for the prospective students.  It was well organised and gave us exactly what we wanted.  Thanks to everyone who had an input - it was much appreciated.”

I came to last week's Open Day with my son Matthew, and I wanted to thank you for a most informative and enjoyable experience.  The College has developed since I knew it in the seventies, and we were both very impressed.  I very much enjoyed your tour for parents, and also the warmth and enthusiasm from everybody we met.  As a result of the day spent at Oxford Matthew has decided that he will apply there rather than Cambridge, and St Anne's is likely to be his first choice (although he is still torn between that and an application to my old College).”
