“ORA was perhaps the best 2 weeks of my life. I got to meet so many new people and make new friends. The courses were also intellectually stimulating while being extremely fun and enjoyable. The teachers were also experts in their fields and enthusiastic throughout every lesson. I would definitely recommend this Summer course.”

“When I read through the website and. saw quotes with things like "this was my best summer ever" or "it was the best time of my life" etc. I wondered if people actually thought that and it wasn't just an exaggeration to make the program look good. It's two weeks in an academic course after all, are those two weeks really going to be the best time of your life? That being said, I loved my time at ORA. The courses were interesting, the city and my college were beautiful and I did so much fun stuff.. but definitely the best part were the people I met. These people - from all over the world: Shang-Hai, Egypt, USA.. - will stay with me forever. I had so much fun, more than I could imagine and I would definitely recommend.”

“Excellent, felt very welcomed and with a great group of staff who were very friendly I enjoyed my time. Although felt the workshop classes were a bit boring and I felt disinterested at times. I will be suggesting the broadening horizons course to many people!”

“I think the teaching system was very well done: it had a very structured plan on what should be taught every day, and allowed the students to give their views on certain topics as well. The friends I had there was also a new experience: I have never had friends from so many different parts of the world. All the people in the summer camp were kind so I doubt anyone would have a hard time finding friends there. To summarise Oxford Royale was an educational and fun place to be in.”

Hi Jose Manuel, Thanks for your feedback! We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the summer school. We're sorry that you didn't think the food was up to scratch this year - we utilise the kitchens of real Oxford University colleges, so the food is the same enjoyed by real students in term time. We'll review this ahead of next year in light of your comments, so thanks for letting us know! I hope that we can welcome you back next year for our 2017 Summer School!

“It was an amazing experience meeting all these persons from all over the world! I hope keeping in touch with them until university! The courses were also interesting even though we repeated what I had studied this year in my school. However I thought we did too much economy and didn't touch enough enterprises. The parties were great and we had a lot of free time to hang out with friends. Great experience that I recommend to everyone !!”

“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

“Going to Oxford was the best experience of my life. Getting to stay at St Hugh's and make such amazing friendships throughout the course of the 2 weeks is unforgettable.

Hi Nadim, Thank you for your feedback and kind words. Our 8 campuses are semi-independent, since each is comprised of so many students! But we'll certainly review this ahead of next year, in light of your comments, and see if we can think of any ways to foster more interaction between campuses. Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“I really enjoyed ORA at LMH. I miss every single thing, in ORA you learn loads of things, different cultures, languages, people etc. You make friends from all over the world that would definetly be your friend for a long time. The counselours are the best, they are fun, allways happy and nice. They help you with everything you need and make some activities that might seem boring really fun. The teachers are great too, you learn with their help really quickly and they are allways there to explain whatever doubt you have.I never thought that in two weeks you could have so much fun and learn so much at the same time. I recommend going to ORA to everyone, I am really sure everyone will have great fun!”
