[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks everyone for your feedback.

Yes, DC is going through their university, which already has an established partnership with Oxbridge, so I’m not worried about any questionable third-party programs. That said, the program descriptions show a wide range of experiences—from full immersion (doing everything local students do, including exams) to more limited participation.

The main takeaway I’m getting is that if you’re going to do it, it’s better to go for a full year rather than just one semester.

My ongoing concern is the trade-off of spending a year away and how that might affect deeper involvement in their STEM major—things like projects, clubs, or research with professors—which are often more relevant for recruiters or grad school admissions than just name recognition. For Law, it seems to make more sense, but for STEM, the real advantage often comes from hands-on projects that demonstrate real-world problem solving. I’m wondering how much of that can be achieved during a short stay at Oxbridge.  [/quote]
