 * Write the text of your article To us provided unique chance, to find university in Great Britain with w hich we could come into contacts and an exchange of students and teachers. So, our idea of university – the university of dream is the place surrounded with the good nature where there are a lot of interesting people and excellent teachers where there are good hostels. Certainly in it there should be a good education and an available payment. After weeks of searches and hundreds of universities we chose one, the unique university which in the maximum degree corresponds to our criteria and it is Oxford. And for a start we suggest you to watch some videos ( 1).

The nature surrounding university admires, there are a lot of trees around, and on lawns is very pure that only decorates this university and air around is unconditional the fresh. The architecture of buildings immerses you in history, because Oxford is known as a city of "dreaming spikes" is a description poet Mettju Andrews has thought up, speaking about harmonious architecture of the Oxford university structures. flowers here are everywhere. They are decorate everything in this place, filling it with various aromas. you can't meet In Russia such wonderful University.

As the oldest university in the English-speaking world, Oxford is a unique and historic institution. There is no clear date of foundation, but teaching existed at Oxford in some form in 1096 (2). The university is famous for a good education which is given to students thanks to perfectly educated teachers. Each teacher as it seems to us, is proud that works at this university, after all Oxford in a rating of "world Top 500 Uni" takes the 10th place, and among universities of Great Britain in 2011 took the 1st place, and in 2012 - the 2nd. Many known people finished Oxford. And now the well-known stars get education here. So for example, the Madonna that arrived in 2007 on faculty of English philology. Walls of Oxford left the whole train of brilliant scientists, literatures, arts — here taught Christopher Rehn, John Tolkien, Lewis Carroll, studied Roger Beykon and Margaret Tetcher. 25 British prime ministers finished Oxford. Education in Oxford for the English aristocracy — centuries-old tradition and a tribute to prestige, and for talented students — chance to become scientists of world level. in Oxford strictly approach to the future wards, and choose not on thickness of a purse, only on level of knowledge and motivations to study. (By the way to arrive to Oxford and Cambridge it is at the same time forbidden.) The teaching staff of Oxford is huge — nearly 4 thousand people, from them 70 — members of the Royal society, more than 100 — members of the British Academy. Oxford uses unique system of a tutor in training — over each student personal guardianship by the expert in the chosen specialty is established. I think, it is already enough of it to understand that casual people there aren't present, all arrived students to study, receive knowledge, and teachers are ready to help them. («Life in Oxford» the video story of students about their everyday life» (3) as if you will be interested by various information on university from students, you can watch videos from «a wall of 100 persons» (4)). Diplomas of Oxford admit and appreciated around the world. Graduates of Oxford can go on further researches and/or work in various professions in some of the best organizations in the world. The Oxford university of community is really international. now Students come from 138 countries worldwide and to study a wide range of questions. They make one third of students, and it means that all conditions for successful study far from the house are created. (5). Hostels for students are also conditions in them very much even the good. As it seems to me rooms of hostels are similar to numbers in hotel. More often students stop in hostels separate of university, but close to it. In the city very many various options are more expensive and cheaper, so everyone can choose to itself housing at that price and comfortableness on which counts.

So, we considered Oxford practically by all criteria. There was only one of them - payment. Training in Oxford is available not to everyone, after all it is not enough to know language and to have the coupon and bent for to a science, it is necessary to possess and the solid income. For the Russian person to pay training and residence in England it will be especially problematic, as 1 pound costs nearly 47 rubles (data on 15.04.12). expenses on accommodation in a year — about 8 thousand pounds, the tuition fee depends on the chosen specialty — art — 6300 pounds; a science — 8400 pounds, medicine — 15400 pounds. And if to transfer to rubles that the prices shock: expenses on accommodation in a year will make about 376 thousand rubles, the tuition fee depends on the chosen specialty — art — nearly 300 thousand rubles; a science — nearly 400 thousand rubles, medicine — nearly 800 thousand rubles. And it only in a YEAR! In one year of training and accommodation!

And after all for those who has possibility to pay training, great good luck to be trained at this university! In the first in it receive enormous knowledge, in the second selection quite rigid that is confidence of a fortress of the received knowledge! And it is unconditional, the person which have diploma of this university is very much appreciated at employment, we'd tell that it won't to have difficulties to find a work and moreover to choose it at discretion (it will have a mass of offers from employers).
