Thank you for your helpful responses! Now the real trouble: funding. Anyone know of a good source for international students? Or are we just SOL? (I'm assuming we won't get any university aid, given the current budget crisis in UK education.) Another topic for discussion: Is going into debt for a BPhil an extremely dumb idea?

Has anyone here done the Oxford BPhil program? I just applied, and parts of it sound wonderful. I love the idea of having that much academic freedom, but it seems as though there's barely any instruction at all. Students meet with professors only once every two weeks, and from what I can tell, there aren't many group classes/seminars. I'm plenty self-motivated, but it just sounds a little lonely. Does anyone knowledgeable have thoughts to share?
