“One of the best camps I’ve ever went to”

“It was a very good camp the activities and food were amazing. Although the lesson content was not good enough. It could have been harder and in my case more releated to enginnering. Also our teacher was very biased and keep bullying us He was also not acknowledged enough.”

“My experience at ORA was (almost) perfect. The academics were great, and I learned tonnes of new things with my amazing teacher Dr. Kanyaru in the computer science course. I was opened up to a whole new aspect of programming, and was finally properly taught computer science. Up until now, I have always loved computers and technology in general, but have always found code and programming tedious and repetitive. This course helped me get past that barrier and really start to be creative with code. All in all I am very pleased with the learning and academics course. However, there were a few things about the course that should have been done differently, in my opinion. Firstly, during my time at ORA, I received a yellow card. This was a deserved punishment for the rule I broke, and I am not going to dispute that. Nevertheless, the email that was sent to parents was an issue for me. The email was sent to three parents as three students were involved, but my name was the one on all of them, so the same generic email didn't even get the slight change of correcting the name for each student. Second of all, the grading system confused me quite a bit. The commentary left by my teacher, said that I had "pursued topics BEYOND those taught in class", meaning that I had done more than expected or taught. This caused me to be confused when my grade for progress and effort was a 7/10, when I had gone beyond the contents of the course in my work. Furthermore, the comment on my report described what we had done in the course, however it described things we did not do like "banking system in Java". Finally, I felt that the admin staff had a very invasive way of keeping an eye on the students. We were told that staff were placed around the town lurking as spies in normal clothing, making sure that the students were doing as instructed and respecting the rules. While I understand the fact that there are rules that must be upheld, and that ORA is responsible for us while we are there, I feel this is a very unsettling way of doing so, it incites a sort of paranoia making one look over ones shoulder every time one leaves the campus. In addition to that, we were told that our internet history was being recorded by the college. This is extremely invasive, and I personally find it very unnerving that other people I do not know nor trust have access to my personal browsing history. I really did feel comfortable using the internet (that worked at its own will) while at the course. In conclusion, I had a great learning experience at ORA, and I received what I expected from the course. I learned a lot of things, and really gained a new found appreciation for programming and its nuances. I got a lot out of this experience and have come home with new knowledge I can apply to my own projects. This does not mean, that all was rosy and without issue. As afore mentioned, there were a few problems I encountered during my time at ORA, that I felt necessary to point out here. I hope my feedback will prove helpful for whomever it may concern.”

“The experience that Oxford Royale provided me with was one of the most memorable. I interacted and made friends with a diverse bunch of students with similar interests to my own. It gave me the opportunity to work toward an subject that I might choose to further and come back after the two weeks as a more independent individual. ORA has given me a taste of college life and the best two weeks of my life thus far.”

“It's a very good experience - you get to meet so many different people and learn about so many different things. The academics as well were excellent and I enjoyed all the courses I took place in. You also get to go out on excursions and to the city of Oxford, where you can learn a lot about England.”

I met people from all over the world and created friendships that will last a lifetime. I took Journalism, creative writing and speech and debate and all of my teachers were incredible, I learned so much. I would highly recommend this program.”

“I am astonished by Oxford Royale Academy's quality. I have been to many summer school and none equals this one. Besides the awesome teachers who help you discover topics you hadn't heard of before, everyone is welcoming and good company. It is the best place to meet smart and exceptional people that you will probably meet again in other circumstances.”

“Oxford Royale Academy is a wonderful course. Teachers encourage students to do their best, counselors are always there to help, and amazing friendships are carved. After two weeks students grow to be more mature people, and unfortunately after two weeks goodbyes also have to be said to all the new friends, staff and ORA. One lesson I’ve learned is: If you have the opportunity to come to ORA, then grab it, because you won‘t regret it!”

“This ORA course is absolutely challenging and interesting. In this program, I met people from all over the world, and this "refresh" my perspective of viewing different races, knowing how to cooperate with them. In addition, the course even makes me more certain about what I am going to study in the future, also understanding that I still have a long long way to work on. I believe this experience in ORA will definitely help me in the future!”

“I truly enjoyed this summer. Not only did I benefit and learn a lot academically, but I also feel as if I’ve grown as a person. I learnt a lot about the college application process from students at UK universities (where I hope to apply), I made a multitude of friends both on my campus and others and learnt a lot about their various cultures, beliefs and lifestyles; and I learnt about Oxford and it’s wondrous history as a city, too. I would definitely go back and do ORA again - the learning experience is amazing on so many different levels!”
