Oxford ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience in Oxford
What our students said about Oxford
For a language course, an ideal city. The colleges are beautiful, must-see at some point. I really enjoyed the Botanical Gardens, the Museum of Natural History and the Pitts Rivers. The surrounding area also has a lot to offer but is poorly accessible by public transport. What I missed most of all was a dynamic contemporary culture.
Oxford is the city of students. Staying in touch with social, allow to discover opportunities to have fun and relax even though with a bit more free time. London is one hour away and going back and forth is cheap.
Difficult to answer the above, but I like Oxford and would be happy to return there. Have been there several times before, so it was no coincidence that we chose Oxford.
It's a beautiful city with a lot of students. I don't recommend to go there in July and August. And there are too many tourists.
The city is more beautiful than London but just go to see Bologna to realize that the latter is more beautiful than Oxford
I didn't use any transportation and didn't visit the city at night.
A fascinating city full of surprises and wonderful architecture.
The amount of rubbish in the streets came as as surprise
Very beautiful city with many possibilities
Wonderful city, I wish I could live there

“Our partner schools can offer junior group courses during summer, usually from June or July. The minimum required age for the adult courses is 16-18 years. If students would like to start before summer they can consider booking private lessons in the teacher's home, which includes lessons, full board accommodation and they may add activities as well.
