Arriving at Oxford just after the September 11 attacks , Clinton was drawn to other American students who were also feeling the emotional after-effects of the trauma . She told '' Talk '' magazine : Every day I encounter some sort of anti-American feeling . Over the summer , I thought I would seek out non-Americans as friends , just for diversity 's sake . Now I find that I want to be around Americans – people who I know are thinking about our country as much as I am . Clinton was criticized for those remarks in the London press and by the newspaper '' Oxford Student '' , whose editorial attacking her angered the university . However , people who met Clinton at that time described her as charming , poised and unaffected , as she adjusted successfully to life abroad
