About St. Anne's College, Oxford University

Oxford University, with a student population of 14,500, is one of the oldest, most distinguished, and most competitive teaching and research institutions in the world.  The University comprises forty-five colleges and halls, some dating from the 13th century. Its unique educational system is based on the “tutorial,” similar to a directed reading, for with one to three students and an accompanying discussion group. Visiting students are registered as members of the university and the colleges to which they are admitted; they are granted membership in their Junior Common Room, and are allowed access to libraries, as well as to social and sports facilities.

Location: 
St. Anne’s began as a Society for Home Students in 1879, offering a university education to women, who did not live in halls of residence and could not otherwise have afforded to study at Oxford. St. Anne’s now has one of the largest graduate and undergraduate student bodies at Oxford. It is  a self-contained, modern campus located right off a main road that leads into central Oxford. St. Anne’s is only about a ten minute walk to the main shopping area.

Budget Information:
Students studying abroad will continue to pay Wheaton tuition. Students are not charged Wheaton room and board, or the Wheaton technology, laundry, or student activities fees while on a study abroad program. Wheaton will, in turn, pay the program for all tuition and academic fees and international insurance. Students will pay costs directly to their study abroad university. Please note that this may or may not include a meal plan. Students will book and pay for their own flights.

Fees billed by Wheaton will be charged to students on their regular Wheaton College student account during regular billing cycles (July/December). 

Federal, state, Wheaton need-based and merit scholarships will be applied to these charges for Wheaton-approved programs. Students must consult with the Office of Student Financial Services (SFS) for a comprehensive review of their aid. If a student receives aid beyond the cost of Wheaton tuition, they can request a refund through SFS. This can in turn be used to pay their study abroad university for room and board charges.

Please do your research as housing and meal costs vary greatly from program to program. This Budget Worksheet can help you estimate the total costs of your program. Refer to your university’s visiting or international student website for an overview of all additional expenses, which may include visas, international cell phones, and discretionary expenses.
