“Great courses in a beautiful campus, our child learnt a lot and it was a great experience! However, we think that there coould have been more activities outside of campus, such as more/better excursions and trips to different parts of oxford.”

“I am very happy that my daughter had a unique life experience in Oxford! She learned a lot about the subject she wants to study, made friendships that I think will last a lifetime from what I can see a month after her return. She was delighted with the location and the activities, with the courses she attended and I was very satisfied with the high level of service and the security I felt sending her alone as there was very good organization in the reception of the students and immediate response to all my questions, before and during her stay at Oxford.”

“Very poor accommodation and meals. Administrative team unfair treatment with the students. My son was just witness of a bad behaviour and was punished and was not able to attend the graduation ceremony making the experience the worst.”

“I definitely do not want to send my daughter to a summer camp organized by Oxford royale nor will I recommend you to anyone every time anyone ask me. The attention from an official on the first day was unpleasant in every way. She smelled very bad. He spoke to my daughter in a tone that I, as a father, don't even do with my daughters. This person did not allow my daughter's suitcases to be brought into the room, She fell on the stairs because they were heavy with the risk of refracturing her foot, which had just been operated on. In general, the attention provided by the counselors is indifferent to any requests that my daughter had during the summer camp. Oxford Royale should choose their staff better because for my part and surely that of many parents we will not consider Oxford royale for the next occasion either. What an unpleasant experience.”

“A great experience for my daughter. Excellent learning experience coupled with very positive environment. Culture starts with leadership and quality of teachers and organisers. This was outstanding. Great mix of students who all came with a desire to learn and develop. I highly recommend Oxford Royale.”

“It was an amazing experience, I got to meet so many people from all over the world and made such great friends and learnt so much from them. The course as well was academically challenging but inspiring and motivated me more to pursue law. I also liked the fun activities and the amount of time we had to bond with others and meet great people.”

“Great experience! Counselours were amazing and accomodated every mental and physical need that the students had. Classes were educational and the teachers made them super interesting - if you work hard, it's easy to get an A*. The medicine course was amazing, with tours of facilities and history taking, along with an exam and an essay. Free time was amazing; up to three hours of free time on normal days, and on Saturday, we were able to walk around Oxford all day! Extra tours and activities were also quite fun. Ian and Javier (camp directors of Oxford Royale 2024) truly cared about your well being and safety. I wholly recommend this camp, even at the slightly steep price. The two week program is amazing and a must have for the worldy student. Myself and others recommend 100%, and I've made long-lasting friends at Oxford Royale.”

“I was in the law and politics course and I enjoyed it. Everyone was nice and friendly and the teacher was fantastic, we learned a lot with her and felt confident enough to speak and ask questions or give opinions. She helped us understand what it is to think like a lawyer and guided us to a clearer idea of what we want to do in the future. Overall all the staff was nice, they were there for anything we needed and were always really friendly. The food was good, of course, it wasn't Micheline star but considering it was school lunch I enjoyed it. Although we didn't get any lunch, which was one of my negatives, the breakfast was big and the dinners varied. In my opinion, this course was amazing but it was also lacking organization. A lot of the time activities would change, or gatherings would start late and sometimes we weren't sure what was going on and neither was the staff. Maybe next time setting up something like a google classroom for announcements could work so that everyone is informed on what is going on and if there are any updates. My last comment would be that the wifi was really bad there, you could only connect with one device and every few hours you had to log back in.”

“This year it was quite disorganised and we weren't allowed to leave campus for some reason. The staff were really nice though. The activities could've been better and the food was really bad. On the first day I expected there would be at least some icebreakers and getting with classmates so we could get acquainted but there was none of that and instead it was really messy. Curfew is quite early too in my opinion. The programme is quite weak with the whole exhibition thing and on Sunday there's really nothing to do since there's no excursion or anything so we could've had something else replacing it. The teachers were great though and were very engaging.”

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your kind words about our staff and teachers—we’re happy to hear you found them supportive and engaging. Your suggestion for more icebreakers and opportunities to get acquainted with classmates is valuable, and we will ensure that is taken onboard. Students attending programmes at all our locations, apart from Yale, are able to leave campus during their designated free time. In order to comply with local state policies, students studying at our Yale campus, however, are only permitted to leave campus with a member of staff. This policy is made clear when students book, however, we are sorry to hear that you were left disappointed. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts; your feedback is instrumental in helping us continue to evolve our courses.

“The course was good, though also a bit stressful sometimes. I wish we had more chances to get to know the other people (many came with their friend groups and so they did not really bother to make other friends). And also sometimes you don’t even know how to approach people. I also wished we had more chances for activities as some (like watching football) were not really useful. I wish there were more activities to explore the city.”

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We’re glad to hear that you found the course valuable. We understand that adjusting to a new environment and meeting new people can sometimes be challenging, especially when others arrive in established groups. We appreciate your suggestions for more opportunities to connect with fellow students and for more city exploration; we offer a wide range of cultural, sporting and social activities outside of the academic programme, however, we’ll certainly take this into consideration for future programmes. Thank you again for your insights and we hope to welcome you back to Oxford Royale in the future!
