“Oxford Royale Academy is most certainly a summer camp that everyone with a passion for education should be able to experience at least once in their lifetimes. This summer camp was taught at Oxford University, using their facilities too. The camp was very well balanced between relaxation and education, and at no point was it boring as there was always something to do! Other than participating in courses taught by experts, you get to meet a large variety of individuals from all over the world with similar preferences as yourself! I would warmly recommend this trip for anyone who may also be indecisive about their future, to partake in the "Broadening Horizons" courses. The time spent there may well have been some of the best weeks of my life, and the friendships created at this camp will most certainly be life long ones. Great memories were definitely made, and this is a great way to spend a small part of your summer holiday.”

“I was already at ORA last year and I loved it, but this time I enjoyed it even more. I learned so much in the lessons and in my free- time. Nothing could replace this experience. I just love it. Everyone just try to help you and makes your experience to a wonderful special one. I recommend it to everyone, because it is just awesome. I love it.”

“ORA was one of the most amazing learning experiences in my life. I'm glad, that I've chosen this course. I've met a lot of people and learnt a lot. Oxford is a wonderful city with an amazing atmosphere. Medical Preparation Course was well-prepared, the teacher was well educated and informed about everything properly. Even though we had to learn, it didn't take our own free time. Most of the people didn't like the food at the campus, and unfortunately, I was often one of them - food for vegetarians wasn't really great, and one option of the meal is not enough, especially, if someone doesn't like lentil or chilli :) I also think, that night registration shouldn't be at 22:30, because some students would like to go to bed earlier. Any parties or ceremonies were great prepared and organised. The big disadvantage of going anywhere was, that people are irresponsible, and it took us 30 mins more to gather everyone, what cut our free time in London. Stuff should do something to solve this issues. I loved the counsellors - they were kind and talkative, it was fun to spend time with them, they were friendly to answer any of your questions. I've come back home with much more knowledge than I've ever had and prepared for a hard work, that is waiting for me. I would honestly recommend this course for anyone :)”

Hi Isabella, Thank you so much for your detailed review! It's great to hear from happy students, and we really appreciate useful feedback like yours, which will help us to improve ahead of our 2017 Summer School. We use the kitchen facilities and staff of actual Oxford University colleges during the summer - so the food you had is the same enjoyed by actual students during term time. However, if it wasn't varied enough that is something we will examine ahead of next year's courses, so thank you for letting us know. Similarly, your feedback about evening registration will be noted - we want to make sure that students can make the most of each evening, but if some people want to go to sleep earlier we'll be sure to try to accommodate that as well! We're thrilled that you were happy with all of the other elements of the course, academic and extracurricular, and we hope that you might come back next year! Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“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.”

“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.

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.
