Oxford
Earlier this year, I applied for admission to graduate school at a number of fine insititutions: University of Waterloo, McGill University, Université de Montréal, and Oxford University. As of earlier this week, I found out that I’ve been tentatively accepted to Oxford, and will in all likelihood find myself skipping the pond come October!
Oxford crest Oxford is the world’s oldest English-speaking university, and has been in existence in one form or another since 1096 (A Brief History of Oxford). It’s considered one of the most prestigious universities.
The course that I applied for is an MSc by coursework in Mathematics and the Foundations of Computer Science. The course starts in mid-October and is a one-year program in the Mathematics Institute.
I don’t have too many more details yet. I haven’t yet been accepted to a college, don’t know who my supervisor would be, not completely sure on financial arrangements, haven’t picked courses, don’t know where I’m living. But all that will work itself out.
England, here I come!

Congrats on the Oxford acceptance. I’m sure that beyond the academics, it’ll provide a plethora of fun challenges.
