My Oxford Year Novels & Stories

Even as I shook my head in pity, I couldn't help but feel the similarity in Zane's story with mine– having an evil stepmom and an uncaring father. "However, despite everything, Zaynie excelled in school," Randolph continued, with his voice swelling with pride. "He was always the brightest student, you know. Him and his best friend who's also his distant relative, Noah Hemsworth both secured scholarships to Oxford University in the UK. Can you imagine? Two boys from a humble background in Dripping Springs, Texas, off to one of the most prestigious universities in the world!" I found myself smiling, picturing a younger Zane, full of dreams and ambition, setting off for a new life across the oc

She pinched Silea to notify her. Owen.. We are in the same University.. He is our 2 years senior.. Final year already.. I wouldn't have applied for this university if it wasn't for him.. I wanted to apply for Harvard.. But when Owen told me to stay back and study with him in the same university, I didn't follow my dreams and stayed behind.. Only for him..

Ophelia walked inside the university under an influence of nostalgia, an year ago walking into this university felt like she was a different person all together. It wasn’t that she had changed much but the fact that circumstances had changed majorly. Six months ago walking here she had only one motive, to graduate peacefully without any drama and with her head down, today it wasn’t like she was the most famous kid here but atleast she had friends.

“What did you study?” “History.” I paused to take another, small sip. “I wrote my dissertation on English folklore. Supernatural legends, specifically.” “Is that so?” This seemed to have amused him for some reason, and I watched him curiously as he smiled widely at me. “I read Literature at Oxford. It seems that there is some overlap between our areas of study.” “Oxford?” I raised my eyebrows. “That’s… hard-core.” He laughed. “That’s one way of putting it, I suppose. The workload was intense, but my tutors were rigorous and I enjoyed my time there.”

And they’ll be back to their studies and probably not even miss me. This is my first winter in Oxford. It’s much colder than I expected. I’ve had a run of bad luck at the fights and pickpocketing. I’ve almost gotten snatched by a constable a couple of times. And as the days got colder, fewer and fewer people were out and about. And soon, students at the university were heading home for their winter holidays. I assumed that Mason and Ashton would be going too. They have loving families to visit. So why wouldn’t they want to go home?

Rexford’s POV Oxford University was everything I expected it to be—grand, competitive, filled with people who either wanted to prove themselves or prove they were better than everyone else. I didn’t care. Nothing mattered anymore. The moment I stepped onto campus, I shut myself off from the world. No more parties, no more unnecessary socializing, no more caring. I was here to study, to focus, to forget. But forgetting wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be.

Ten years ago Lucy POV I'm so excited to climb on stage to earn a diploma from our professors. It's graduation day and I can't believe that we are now graduates. I search Kent everywhere but I can't find him. We both dreamt to study business together at Oxford University after we finish high school. I'm super excited to be with him in the dorm. We can have all the time and love for each other and no one will dare to bully me anymore especially some rich students I know.

I closed my eyes and let the breeze caress my face, feeling a sense of liberation wash over me. In that moment, a familiar feeling came to me, the loneliness in my heart drifting me off to a memory I somehow couldn't let go. I remembered my days at Oxford University like they were yesterday. The grand halls, the ancient libraries, the buzzing atmosphere of knowledge and ambition. It was a place where dreams were born and futures were shaped. But for me, it was also a place where I realized that making friends wasn't as easy as I had hoped.

Kingswood, 2019 Kingswood. I can't believe I'm finally back. Back for good, at least. I just graduated from The university of Oxford in England and I got myself a first class honours degree in marketing and finance. No one made it to my graduation. Not my mom. Not my boyfriend, Jace. Not my three best friends, Karla, Hannah and Riana. Though I chose to understand. The university is really far from The US so they all had valid reasons and it would inconvenience them and tamper with their schedule.

“This is the letter of offer and here’s the school’s catalog.” He started explaining to me what was so good about Oxford, what the school could offer him, and then he started showing photos of the school and the kids there. “Here’s the library, it has an online one too but you know me, I could only study at the library where everyone’s quiet and I could concentrate better.”
