Dear Ruth. Thank you for your comments! We absolutely loved showing Ruby around Oxford and we are so pleased she found the experience so rewarding. I hope you and Ruby are both well. All the best, the summer school team.
Hi Laura! Thanks for getting back to us. We loved having you on the summer school last year and, of course, enjoyed all your excellent jokes!! Don't forget to drop us an email to let us know how you are getting on. The Summer School Team :)
Hi there! Thank you for letting us know how you found your time in Oxford! We also had a fantastic time and we are already looking forward to six more weeks of fun this July/August! Don't forget to keep in touch - we'd love to hear how you are finding studying in America! The Summer School Team :)
“A fantastic opportunity for unique insight into university life and my chosen course of study. Such a great experience and would definitely recommend to anybody who is applying to university. Going to this summer school made me fall completely in love with Oxford!”
“Being a weird, slightly psychopathic girl I felt accepted and at home at Oxford and Cambridge Summer School! I made friends who I love and the staff were like our best friends. Best experience of my life to this day! The summer school also made sports suck a lot less!”
Hi Yassi! Thank you for your feedback! We also had a great time in the summer last Oxford and we are really looking forward to the 2015 programme! I'm delighted to hear that you found the summer school so enjoyable (and the fact that you now feel sport 'sucks a lot less' is a bonus!). Do keep in touch with us and let us know how you are getting on with your studies!
“The Oxford and Cambridge Summer School was an incredibly enriching experience for me. Besides meeting kids from all around the world, I took pleasure in learning new things and approaching the subject of history from what was an entirely new perspective for me. Despite already being a relatively good student at school, studying never was something of which I could say that I really took pleasure from. At Summer School however, I began to see it from a whole other point of view.
I will never forget those two weeks and how every day spent in Oxford with the whole team was filled with excitement, making me jump out of bed every morning and look forward to what would be another great day. Thinking about it already makes me so nostalgic and I must say that if I could, I would give anything to go back in time and relive those moments all over again.
Therefore I highly recommend this summer school to any young student out there. You learn to stand alone and really get a more fun and light version of Uni-life. The best of both worlds, really.”
Hi Sophie! Thank you for your review! It is so nice to hear that you found your time in Oxford so enjoyable. We loved welcoming you to the UK last year and we hope all your studies are still going well. Do keep in touch with us! The Summer School team :)
“I had a really incredible time at the summer school. It was great to meet people from all over the world, but what really made it for me were the supervisions we had practically every day. They made the whole Oxbridge experience very real, as the material covered was very challenging but stimulating at the same time! It gave me much food for thought, and I'd definitely recommend it for people interested in learning more about the subject they want to study at university.”
“I absolutely adored my time in Oxford. As someone who enjoys learning, it was wonderful to be surrounded by like-minded people with whom I could have intelligent conversations. The staff were all very accommodating, and really put an effort into making sure that everyone felt settled and comfortable at the Summer School. I did the Law course, and found the tutorials to be incredibly engaging and thought-provoking. My tutor always pushed me to think outside of the box, and this course proved to me that Law really was the subject that I wished to study at university. Aside from the studies, I really appreciated the time to explore the cities of Oxford and Cambridge, because I live overseas normally and would not have otherwise had any time to really get to know them before applying for university and having to choose between them. Overall, this summer course is an opportunity which I would recommend to anyone looking to have a wonderful learning experience in one of the most beautiful cities in the world!”
