Studying at Oxford from your own room? Why not? You can get a diploma from your own home, of course with a computer and a good internet connection. In order to study at a university, you do not need to move from your city or state, pay for accommodation and travel costs, ask for a student visa...

She paid about 1,000 euros for a one-year study, and she is satisfied with the seriousness and the quality of education she has received.
