Oxford Royale Academy Reviews

ORA was an experience that I will never forget. I was able to open myself up more due to the vast range of diversity (nationality, language, ethnicity, etc), that was present not just at ORA, but in the city of Oxford. The staff, director, and counselors were quick to make sure that everyone felt comfortable and at home.

I recommend ORA to anyone who's interested in history, small towns, and meeting new people. Oxford is full of buildings that have a story behind them, streets that have been there for 100s of years, and people who are so down to earth.

I met amazing people, and anyone who does get an opportunity to try out the program should.

Oxford Royale Academy summer school is fantastic! I made lifelong friends from all around the world, spoke in different languages and appreciated diverse cultures. I really enjoyed my time at the magnificent manor house in Yarnton. Everyone was friendly and all the staff welcomed us very warmly. I would love to return just to try out new courses; there is a wide range to choose from. I studied law, and this exciting course paved way for more opportunities. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me realize that the world is my oyster. The teachers were so passionate about their subjects ! I am grateful to ORA and I highly recommend this summer school program for a life-changing and great experience.

I truly enjoyed my time at ORA. The classes were insightful, the teachers knowledgeable, the counselors very helpful, and the other students really friendly. I loved the variety of activities as well as the freedom we were given. It really was a first-hand college experience, and it taught me that I can survive and manage on my own in a new city, around new people. Overall, it was awesome, and I would love to do it again.

Oxford Royale Academy was my first international summer course; it was an eye-opening experience. When I arrived, I was greeted in with warm smiles and great assistance that lasted for the rest of the camp. There, I enjoyed in-campus activities and went on multiple excursions with the camp counselors. Most importantly, I was able to partake in ORA s intensive Engineering Preparation course taught by a professor in the field through which I learned many topics that I still refer to today. By the end of the two weeks, I was able to develop many close ties with the students and counsellors in the camp, all of whom I will surely miss.

Had loads of fun here and met some lovely people from all around the world! Would definitely recommend.

I really enjoyed my time at Oxford Royale Academy. I stayed at The Queen s College, which was a beautiful, historic location- the perfect place to enhance academically and culturally. I studied Journalism, Contemporary History and Public Speaking and Debate. Prior to the course, I had never studied these subjects before, however I now feel very knowledgeable and I am inspired to continue learning. Each evening and every free afternoon, there were multiple, optional activities to choose from. My favourite activities included punting and going on a ghost tour. We also visited London and were able to watch a West End show.
Overall, I had an unforgettable experience and would recommend attending an Oxford Royale course to anyone who wants to develop academically and culturally.

My experience studying in the Oxford Royale Academy was amazing. Not only did I thoroughly learn the course subject, I also gained alot of experience and exposure from a completely different kind of environment than I'm used to by getting out of my comfort zone, explored the rich history and amazing architecture of Oxford, all while meeting new people from all over the globe and making everlasting bonds between us. All in just ONE trip, and i know for a fact that the experience and memories I've gained from this trip will never stray away from me. This trip has helped me get out of my comfort zone and made me face the huge world beyond my home town. I will treasure this trip for a very long time and i will treasure the friends I've made along the way just the same. I did not regret going to the Oxford Royale Academy a single second.

I spent two weeks on Oxford Royale Academy's course at Lady Margaret Hall and it was undoubtedly the highlight of my summer. As expected, the course was academically stimulating, however it also provided cultural experiences that I would not have been able to enjoy had I not attended.

Staying at Lady Margaret Hall, and the city of Oxford in general, was quite enjoyable. We were given free time in which we were able to explore the city if we so desired. I particularly enjoyed visiting colleges, museums, and other tourist attractions. The academic aspect of the course was amazing. The courses were well taught and very interesting, particularly as I chose subjects that are not available to me at the secondary school level. Other optional events occurred daily, including subject specific discussions, sport events, a debate, and advice on applying to university. The multitude of cultures present allowed me to expand my worldview by talking and discussing certain topics with other participants, as well as make friends who I am still in touch with.

Overall, the course was a holistic academic and cultural experience which I will cherish forever, and one which I highly recommend to anyone who has the opportunity to attend.

I can say that Oxford Royale Academy was, without any doubt, one of the best experiences of my life. I got to study Political Science and International Relations, English Literature, and also got to develop my Leadership and Teambuilding skills, all of it while having the complete experience of being an Oxford student. I can say that all of the activities that were provided to us were very fun as well as enriching. There wasn't a single time in those two weeks where I felt bored. We even went to London to see a musical. All of the staff members and teachers were very professional and attentive with the students. Also, I got to make friends with people from all around the world, and I'm pretty sure that those connections will last forever. I would definitely recommend this experience.
