[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did it in HS many years ago, at Oxford. I loved it and had a wonderful time. It had more freedom/autonomy than other summer programs I’d done up to that point, so I felt like I got to explore Oxford with friends (there was also the potential for bad behavior, kids drinking, though most of us were pretty excited to be there and serious about seeing things). The academic program wasn’t very intense but it was well taught and influenced my decision on a college major. It also caused me to redo my college list—I had been looking at SLACs and being an Oxford made me want a larger university experience. It was a big experience for me at 17.[/quote]

Adding on, my teachers were an American Rhodes scholar and an Oxford graduate student, and we lived in an Oxford college and ate in the dining hall. Although it wasn’t affiliated with Oxford, it was very cool and has informed my understanding of Oxford and Cambridge in all the British novels I’ve read since. I don’t know how Paris would be, though, or what it is like now. [/quote]
