Get connected!

Congratulations to our first accepted students to the Oxford College class of 2014! We are excited to add you to our wonderful Oxford family! I encourage you to sign up for one of our Spring for Oxford Events that are coming up in April. These events include a tour of campus and a student panel, and really give students a look into all that Oxford has to offer. Register for one of our Spring for Oxford events by clicking here. I also encourage you to interact with current Oxford students and other accepted students by joining the Oxford College of Emory University Class of 2014 group on Facebook- check out our group! Here you can post questions and introduce yourselves to fellow future classmates. There are many other ways to interact with current Oxford College students and get connected with the Oxford community. Happy Holidays!

Winter break is so close!

Only 3 days until I return home. The only things standing in my way from heading back to the Big Apple are two finals: Genetics and Calculus. I still have some studying to do for both, but I have been feeling well about both finals.

Of course, I have the last final this semester (no, really, I have the very last final slot). Some students have already gone home for the winter break. I'm a bit jealous, not going to lie. Once these two finals are done, I have winter break to look forward to!

So, over the next few days I shall be studying, cleaning my room and packing for winter break.

Happy Holidays!

Peace and love,
Lizzy

A group of students will be returning to Oxford early for Dr. McQuaide's Social Problems class, which examines various societal issues in the Atlanta area. Some of the places the students visit are a battered women's shelter, a homeless shelter, a geriatric facility, a waste water treatment plant, and they also have the opportunity to ride along with a police officer in one of the most dangerous areas in Atlanta. These experiences in the field allow them a first hand look into the different social problems that are right in our backyard.

Check back for more information about the Social Problems class and other happenings with Oxford students during the holidays!

Finals week!

This morning I took my first final: Chemistry. I felt it went well. Now I only have two more exams (on of my classes doesn't have a final - Thank you, Dr. Stutz!!). My next two finals are not until next week, so I have ample time to study for both of them.

And then, after my last final, I'll be heading home!! Yay! So excited! I'll be going to visit my high school and spending time with friends and family. And sleeping! Lots! Haha.

I just discovered this great website. Perhaps the college bookstore cannot take back your textbook, because the professor is using a different edition. Or you know you will not be keeping the textbook after this semester. Well, no fear! www.chegg.com is the answer!

www.chegg.com/buyback/ They’ll pay you top dollar for your books, like $40 each – and no lines because it’s online. Chegg even pays the shipping and plants a tree for every book you sell.

How about the fact I have a promo code CC107355 that gets you an extra $5 with your order?

Go to www.chegg.com/buyback/, you can get your used textbooks sold now.
