[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid’s own college should have resources on this. Beware of some shady outfits that claim to be Oxbridge but really aren’t. Specter summer programs .. they lease space and sell it as Oxbridge but it isn’t. It’s better to work this through your own college.

The point above about leaning in is spot on. Your student will have several tutorials a week in their subject area. There may or may not be another student in the tutorial. You must do the reading and prepare a paper for each which you must present. [b]You can’t hide in the back row and not participate as you can in US schools.[/b]

The college affiliation doesn’t matter. Your classes will be all over. My kid is at St. Hugh’s but tutorials are at Christ Church and All Souls’.

My kid’s first exposure was a UVA summer program at University College which ran about ten weeks.[/quote]
This is not the experience across the US. America dominates in small faculty to student ratios and we have various liberal arts colleges and predominately undergraduate institutions which European countries lack.[/quote]
