Oxford/Foreign MBA for US student

Hi WSO Forum Community,

I had a few questions for people who have or currently are going to a foreign MBA program. I am considering Oxford as a possible choice for an MBA program. I know that there are a lot of factors to consider and would appreciate any help or advice.

1.Do you feel that a one year program is short for people who are making a career change? Trying to move from Project Management to IBanking
2. How was the social atmosphere of the university/your college?
3. What is it like to work in the UK/or anywhere else in the world as an American?

Cheers!

Social atmosphere at Oxford/Cambridge is good, not great, but not terrible, at least at undergrad. Not a negative but not exactly a unique selling point!
