Excursions & Daily Events
A variety of excursions are planned for students participating in the Nebraska at Oxford Program. On the first Friday of the program, program participants take a trip to London to see a West End show. During the third week of the program, students take a trip to Stratford-upon-Avon to see a Shakespearean play at the Royal Shakespeare Theater. The remaining excursions vary from year to year, but usually include a combination of the following: Blenheim Palace (Winston Churchill's birthplace), Bath, Stonehenge, and Windsor Castle.

In addition to academics and excursions, students are offered a choice of daily events. Interested students "sign up" for daily events before or after morning lectures. Shakespearean plays performed in the gardens of Oxford college grounds, classical music concerts, high tea at the Old Parsonage Hotel, and guest lectures are all examples of cultural experiences presented to program participants.
Football (soccer), croquet, bicycling, swimming, tennis, punting, basketball, volleyball, are among the sporting events offered to program participants. A nearby park presents a serene backdrop for bicycle rides and jogging on paths.
An open weekend for travel either in the United Kingdom or the European continent provides students with an additional opportunity to travel. The extended weekend is during the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of the second week of the program. Some popular destinations include Paris, France; Edinburgh, Scotland; and Amsterdam, Holland.
Final exams are scheduled for the last week of the program. Students prepare for exams through study groups and additional individual readings. Grades for Economics 466 and 467 are based on final exam scores.
A reception and special farewell banquet are held on the concluding night of the program. Certificates are presented to program participants for successful completion of the Nebraska at Oxford Program.
