“First of all, It was great time in the campuss and the I enjoyed participating in oxford royal summer camp and everything was good like lessons or seminars also the activities was fun and great and about the the feedbacks I have a little thing that will change a so many things to better so like in the engineering seminars it will be better if it was more deeper in engineering so students can learn about engineering more and have a good effort in the future.”

“I really enjoyed my time at the Oxford Royale 12–15 program in the UK because it gave me the chance to learn in such an inspiring and historic environment while meeting people from all over the world. The classes were engaging and encouraged me to think more deeply about subjects I’m passionate about, while the teachers made learning fun and interactive. Beyond the academics, I loved exploring the beautiful colleges, taking part in exciting activities, and experiencing student life in Oxford. One of the best parts of the program was the amazing friends I made along the way — we shared so many fun moments, supported each other, and created memories I’ll never forget. The program helped me grow in confidence, develop new skills, and build friendships that I know will last long after the summer.”

“NOTE: This is my second attempt to add this review on reviews.io which was posted September 2024 - after I participated in the 2024 Summer School in Oxford. The first attempt resulted in ORA going into “resolution mode”, but we never heard from them following our reply. Then the original review disappeared, but we have mail documenting the initial review and the attempted resolution. However, we found out that the review URL was still valid now 1y later… so here is a copy of my review sent last year with correction of a few spelling issues. My initiel review (which was given 2 stars): So, where do i even start. When i first arrived at the airport my parents had paid for the shuttle, which stated that they would send kids of every hour as they arrived. But i ended up waiting 2 hours because they waited for kids to arrive so we could form a group, like that was not the money worth it if you stated something else. Anyway, i arrived and got checked in which was fine, however where not told anything else was happening until 4/5 (cannot not remember the time exactly). Like there was zero communication from any of the counsellors and the staff. Next morning we had lessons were i thought they had rented a classroom or something in the actual university (should not have that high hopes) but turns out we were in a homeless shelter. Which is fine, however i did not feel safe while being surrounded by a man who was having a trip on opioids. And if you pay that high a fee of tuition you would expect at least taking in to consideration a real classroom, but we got a theater room. My course which was racing extinction, was relatively good (i liked my teacher), but the actual subjects was mostly about the UN and international relations. Not climate change. When it comes to free time i expected being allowed to go out after class only two people. But in the first week we were allowed out maybe two times and only as a group of three. There was this big emphasis on "privileges" and strikes, which irked me. Like if you did not look while crossing the street (who dosen‘t?) you could not go out and if you opened a door for somebody you got "privileges" (but who is monitoring that? and why is that even a thing to have to teach to 13-15 year olds?). A lot of activities were promised but almost nothing happened and they were cancelled. The rooms (do not get me started), at least mine, was filthy. There was male beard hair all over my sink and lime scale. In the shower there was black mold and this thick layer of limescale that made rotating the shower head impossible. The tiles were brown and my towels were covered in hair (not my own). If is there is something to note to the company, is that you need a way to communicate to the students. I had to constantly go outside to see if anything changed and could not get ahold of the counsellors. Final question: Is it worth it? Absolutely not. If you are from a country, like mine, where you apply for uni or high school with only grades it will never be mentioned again in any way. But if you do it to put on extracurriculars while applying for uni, it's gonna mean nothing as it is not affiliated with any form of qualification. And money wise, go on a vacation! Oh and also, the head office and actual staff do not communicate at all. The partys are medium fun and the only part of Oxford you are gonna see is the dining hall and merch stores.”

“The program our daughter attended in summer 2024 was exceptional! The information and interaction provided by Oxford leading up to our decision to have our daughter attend was professional and informative. Our daughter, Syanne, thoroughly enjoyed her two-week program in Law at Imerial College in London, UK. The accommodations and food were excellent. The experience Syanne had and gained were amazing. The extra-curricular activitie were plentiful and contributed to her experience. Syanne made some good friends from all over the world during the program. Overall we were very pleased with Oxford Royale and would recommend the programs to other families and students.”

“Firstly the online application process & booking information received was clear & well organised. It was the first time my 17 year old son had done a sleepaway summer programme which he thoroughly enjoyed, so it was a huge relief as we do not live in the UK. My son loved the whole campus experience & found his teacher/business course fascinating & also made many friends from other countries. He has already said he would like to repeat again next year if possible. I highly recommend Oxford Royale!”

“I recently attended the Oxford Royale summer program in Berkeley, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences of my life. From start to finish, every moment was filled with learning, excitement, and unforgettable memories. The program itself was incredibly well-organized. The curriculum was bit challenging yet engaging, with amazing teachers who were not only experts in their fields but also genuinely passionate about teaching. Beyond academics I met people from all over the world, and the friendships I formed were one of the highlights of my time there. I stayed in touch with a lot of people and I can safely say they are my true friends now. Whether we were exploring Berkeley, participating in cultural activities, or simply hanging out on campus, there was never a dull moment. The location in Berkeley was perfect. The campus was beautiful, and being so close to San Francisco meant we had opportunities for weekend trips and exploring the local area. The staff made sure we were safe and comfortable, always going above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. In short, I loved every second of my time with Oxford Royale in Berkeley. It was a perfect blend of academic rigor and social fun, set in an amazing location. If you're considering this program, don't hesitate—it's an experience you'll cherish forever.”
