"My biggest "take away" would be to always keep an open mind and be ready to have new experiences and visit places outside the provided itinerary. I typically don't do anything spontaneously, however with a few friends we took a rather spontaneous weekend trip to Edinburgh and a day trip to London. Both trips ended up being in my favourite memories from the summer school alongside the Wales excursion."

"The field excursion to Wales was probably my favourite part of the program. I loved the chance to look at prehistoric sites since I also study anthropology here in the U.S. I would absolutely recommend the excursion to future students and would go again.

Olivia.S

"Coming into the program, I felt I would get a taste of the cultural and historical significance of Oxford and the greater UK, however, what I got was so much more than that. I had the opportunity to have real hands-on experience through excursions and knowledge in the classroom."

Claire.B

"Wales was one of the best of my entire life. I would recommend it to anyone and would gladly go again."
