Weekend Trip Planning

• The Program Director will gladly help you with trip planning in advance.  Just ask for help with websites, train information, places to stay, videos and books for research, etc.  In the spring you will receive a detailed information pack including information to help you with trip planning.  In the past students have gone to Paris, Disneyland Paris, Nice (French Riviera), Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, Spain, England's beaches (Penzance, St. Ives, etc.), England's Lake District for great hiking, London for touring, shows, & soccer games, etc.  It is advised that you plan trips well in advance to get the best housing and transportation deals.  Begin booking your trips in March and don't wait any later than May to make bookings in major cities.

Foreign Language Immersion Programs Prior to Oxford

• Consider attending an intensive language program in Europe prior to the Oxford Program.  You can take any level of language instruction and become immersed in the culture while tremendously improving your language skills.  Earning credit at Florida Tech upon completion of the program is always a possibility.  We have had students study Spanish in San Sebastian Spain prior to the Oxford Program and they had a phenomenal experience. Italy, France, Germany, Spain are all a quick flight from London, so it is easy to coordinate. Contact the Oxford Program Director for more information to get on the right track.

* Deposits for optional weekend trips will be due in January (Nov for Paris 2025), but depend on vendor requirements of amounts and dates. Final balances will be due in spring semester.  Check email for announcements. All program fees including optional trip fees are non-refundable.
