Why the OSAP Visiting Student Program in Oxford Meets NAFSA's Best Standard

NAFSA: Association of International Educators has said that the ideal overseas study program is one in which the student is fully integrated (academically and socially) into the foreign university and also has the benefit of an American presence nearby to provide added benefits and to make certain that the particular needs of American students are met. This is exactly the program for Visiting Students that we have created in Oxford.

We have a staff of 7 in our Oxford office, including two who work on housing alone (there are always repairs to be made, etc.) We are able to deal with students' problems quickly. We also are able to facilitate many Opportunities for the students (language study, practical art, internships, future graduate studies, visits to Parliament, etc.) as well as educational tours, a thorough orientation, pastoral care, a medical plan, etc., etc...
