Faisal

First of all, It was great time in the campuss and the I enjoyed participating in oxford royal summer camp and everything was good like lessons or seminars also the activities was fun and great and about the the feedbacks I have a little thing that will change a so many things to better so like in the engineering seminars it will be better if it was more deeper in engineering so students can learn about engineering more and have a good effort in the future.

I really enjoyed my time at the Oxford Royale 12–15 program in the UK because it gave me the chance to learn in such an inspiring and historic environment while meeting people from all over the world. The classes were engaging and encouraged me to think more deeply about subjects I’m passionate about, while the teachers made learning fun and interactive. Beyond the academics, I loved exploring the beautiful colleges, taking part in exciting activities, and experiencing student life in Oxford. One of the best parts of the program was the amazing friends I made along the way — we shared so many fun moments, supported each other, and created memories I’ll never forget. The program helped me grow in confidence, develop new skills, and build friendships that I know will last long after the summer.
