Prescription drugs are available through the NHS at a nominal fee. There are only limited outpatient psychological counseling services available through the NHS and the Oxford Programme. Any extensive or long-term counseling would have to be covered by your personal health insurance policy. Finally, you are not likely to be covered under the NHS for medical services received in other foreign countries, especially non-European Community countries. The tuition and room fees for the Programme are equivalent to those for a year at Williams.
Students are responsible for their own transportation, most of their meals, and personal expenses.
For planning purposes, students and their parents should expect the cost of a year on the Williams College Oxford Programme to be about the same as a year at Williams. Financial aid eligibility will be figured on the usual basis of tuition, fees, room, board, and personal and book expenses just as if the student were at Williams. Similarly, the normal self-help contribution would be expected. Since the academic year ends later at Oxford than at Williams, the summer earning expectation for the following year will be reduced by one half and the difference made up by additional Williams aid. They can expect to be notified of acceptance before Spring break.
