“ORA has been a great experience to take part in. It balanced fu and educative but there was too much cultural. On the week-end the excursions should be more leisurely since we do a lot of work in the week. It could range from a shopping trip to an amusement park or very simply pool trip.”

Hi Rosalie, Thanks a lot for your kind words about ORA. I'm sorry to hear that you found the weekend too active - we like to make sure that our students always have something they can be doing, so that they make the most of their time in the UK! We review all of our activities and excursions at the end of the summer, so we'll be sure to consider some more laid-back excursions, in light of your opinion. Thank you again, Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“It was an experience that helped me a lot, especially, it improved my understanding of other cultures, which is something wonderful.”

Hi Oscar, Thank you for your review; we try to help students get a taste for the culture in the UK, with excursions and activities to that effect. However, the culture brought to ORA by our thousands of students is also a huge bonus! Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“i liked it and i had a lot of friends”

Posted 7 years ago

Hi Bruno, We're pleased to hear that you made a lot of friends on your campus! Our staff are always keen to help students make bonds, and we find that students make amazingly firm friendships in just 2 weeks. Many of our students from years ago are still in touch and see each other regularly! Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“It was fun and i made a lot of new friend. However the courses teacher weren't always the best.”

Posted 7 years ago

Hi Olympia, Thanks for your feedback, and we're really glad to hear you made friends on your course. We're sorry to hear that you felt the teaching wasn't always perfect during your programme. If you have specific remarks, please let us know at admin@oxford-royale.co.uk, and we'll be sure to investigate! However, please be assured that our teaching staff are all hand-picked and highly qualified, so they are overwhelmingly fantastic at their jobs. I hope that we might be able to welcome you back to ORA in 2017, to prove this! Best wishes, Max, Oxford Royale Academy

“It would be better if it was more organised”

Posted 7 years ago

Hi Lanqi, Thank you for your feedback and rating, it is much appreciated! We're always interested to know more details however - if you have more specific information about the organisation you thought was lacklustre, please let us know at admin@oxford-royale.co.uk and we'll be sure to investigate. Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“I'd say that the medical school preparation course was excellent. Although I wouldn't be applying to university till 2 years later, I find that this course helped me narrow down my choices on various things. All in all, I enjoyed it thoroughly.”

Posted 7 years ago

Dear Wen Yung, Thank you for your kind words. Medical School Preparation is a very popular course, probably because it is so helpful for getting a taste of Medicine, a subject which is not generally taught at school. We're pleased that this has helped you as you start to think about university choices and applications. Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“ORA was a very challenging but fun way to spend the summer. I learnt many things that will help me in the future, and things I won't learn at my own school! It was also an amazing way to make new friends from all around the world and learn about the different cultures. This has been one of my favorite summers because of this program!”

Hi Saakhi, Thanks for your review! We're glad you had such a great time, and were able to make friends from around the world. Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“Oxford Royale was a great experience. It was not the best, but it was great. The food was amazingggg and most of the people were so friendly! The counsellors were just chill and they really looked after us. These two weeks of my life was the first time I've seen people from Lebanon, Greece, Africa, etc, and even though the session is over, I still keep in touch with them. If you want to have a non-bummer summer, then this is the right place to go. Thanks for everything, ORA! ????”

Hi Rissa, Thank you so much for your review and kind words. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed meeting such a diverse group of peers, and interacting with our lovely summer staff as well. Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“It was a beautiful experience”

Hi Lynn, Thank you for the succinct but powerful review! We're glad you had such a great time. Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“It was nice to meet so many interesting people from all over the world with different point of views, cultures, way of thinking,etc. gathered at one place. It was also interesting how some of us have friends in common on the other side of the globe who aren't in ORA, it makes me realize that the world is small. We are all connected to each other in one way or the other. And I love the teachers, they make the classes interesting and worth attending.”

“I think my favourite part from the summer camp was all the friends I made all over the world. Of course I loved all the activities and the courses as well.”

“The food could've been better.”

Hi Joy, Thank you for your rating and review - they are both very helpful! We're sorry to hear that you didn't think the food was good enough this year. We'll be reviewing our policies regarding catering, ahead of our 2017 Summer School, so your opinion will certainly count! I hope that we can welcome you in 2017, so that you can enjoy a summer that's even closer to perfect! Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“Yarnton is quite far away + the food is not enough (dinner at 7 and you go to sleep around midnight, you're not even allowed to order pizza). Otherwise an amazing experience and really helpful for future studies!”

Posted 7 years ago

Hi Katerina, Thank you for the constructive feedback! We believe that the splendour and open space of Yarnton Manor more than make up for its distance from the centre of town, and we hope you'd agree, after enjoying it for two weeks! In terms of meals, thank you for the information - we'll be sure to review the timings ahead of our 2017 Summer School, to ensure that students are enjoying their meals as much as possible. Best wishes, Max, Oxford Royale Academy

“- Rules were too harsh - Curfew for 16-18 years old is unnecessary as night life is a crucial part of oxford experience (Varsity doesn't have similar regulations) - otherwise, outstanding course!”

Posted 7 years ago

Hi Oscar, Thank you for the valuable feedback! We put restrictions on students' movements only out of concern for their safety, and at the desire of parents who want to make sure their children are looked after. However, we review all of our practices each year, so your opinion will certainly be considered before our 2017 Summer School - thank you for voicing it! Best wishes, Max, Oxford Royale Academy

“This camp was over my expectations. I thought that the staff were nice, the sites were interesting ranging from museums to punting, and most of all, I had fun as I met new people and the trips and lessons were fun. This was truly a spectacular experience.”

“I Really enjoyed my experience at ORA. Meeting people from so many nationalities, interacting with them was an amazing experience. The classes were absolutely excellent and I learnt so many new things. The teachers were knowledgable, warm and friendly and all the counsellors and house deans were fabulous. The extra actives and excursion were extremely interesting. The accommodation (At Yarnton Manor Sesson 2) was absolutely beautiful. It was a wholesome experience that I will never forget. (I wish the food was better though, otherwise no complaints at all) :)”

Hi Jacqueline, Thank you for your feedback and all of the kind words! We're thrilled to hear about how much you enjoyed the course and environment. We will be reviewing all of our policies, including catering, before our Summer School in 2017, so we'll be sure to examine the food, since it's the only thing that wasn't perfect for you! Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“Oxford Royale was an amazing summer camp of inspiration, challenges, and fun. The Introduction to Law course itself was a challenging and engaging, providing us students with information that presented us to the different aspects of law, and more importantly, information that would help us decide our future career. Overall, the Oxford Royale Academy was an excellent camp. It organized interesting and varying activities for students every day, and gave students a chance to see the beautiful sceneries of Oxford. Although the course was absolutely amazing, there were a few small leaks. Firstly, the days ran a little bit too late, the shout ends at around 22:40 most of the time, and students barely have the time to shower and so on because if we shower earlier, we no longer have the chance to run around, and we wish to use the time to socialize. Secondly, the wifi. The wifi was unstable in the Department of Education most of the time, and many students did not know how to deal with these problems. Thirdly, too many surveys. In total, there were about three surveys, which could have been grouped into one on the final day with no problem. Fourthly, not a lot of time was given for packing, most students rushed on the final day, and it was easy to lose things. Otherwise, the Oxford Royale Academy was thoroughly enjoyable and I enjoyed every second of it. I hope to come back again in the future.”

Hi Yik Lam, Thank you for all of the valuable feedback! It's great to hear these points in detail. We review all of our policies ahead of next year's Summer School, and it sounds like most of your complaints are centred around timetabling, so we'll be sure to investigate them in detail before next summer. I hope that we'll be able to welcome you back to Oxford in 2017, to see the fruits of our labour! Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“Oxford Royale is, much like most summer camps, a wonderful opportunity to mingle with other students from around the world. Around the city of Oxford I learned to respect people from all different cultures with their own habits and motives. It was also a good opportunity to create "inside jokes" of all cultures. While the classes were great, I couldn't help but feel like all mentors were slightly inexperienced at teaching their subject - though when asked questions, we all learned that they were very knowledgeable. I had a lot of fun and look forward to taking advantage of this opportunity when I structuralise plans to study in Oxford in the future.”

“The bed mattresses were not clean and the JCR was "broken" but other than that, it was an extremely fun experience!”

Hi Alexandra, Thank you for your rating and the useful feedback. We're sorry that you encountered these issues - we were able to see to them during the Summer School, but we'll also be careful to ensure they aren't repeated next year. We hope to welcome you back to Oxford for our 2017 Summer School, so you can see the results of all our hard work preparing. Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy
