Other students in Oxford

There is a second university in Oxford - Oxford Brookes University http://www.brookes.ac.uk/, formerly known as Oxford Polytechnic - whose entrance requirements are less stringent than Oxford University's. Brookes is located on campuses largely in the eastern suburbs of the city. There are also a number of independent "colleges" which have nothing to do with either university but are popular, particularly with overseas students, in part because they allow their students to state truthfully that they have studied in Oxford; these institutions vary considerably in the standard of teaching they provide. Finally, many University of Oxford colleges host overseas students (primarily from American universities) enrolled in study abroad programs during the summer months.
