Review

I love ORA. In fact, I've been attending ORA for the past three summers: Oxford, UK in 2016 and 2017, and London, UK in 2018. Every time was unique. The weeks spent with ORA were always the highlight of each summer, and were kind of a "pre-university" preparation.
Concerning my personal experience, the first time I attended ORA, at first, I was all nervous and frustrated about how I'm going to make friends and live far from my parents all on my own; but as soon as I arrived to the campus, where safety was a priority, the staff was very welcoming, helpful and friendly, and I connected with many different people. I learned a lot about different cultures and societies. The food wasn't terrible but we were allowed to get our own so it was fine by me. The campus was amazingly beautiful; the dorms in Oxford were mostly twin rooms, where you had to tidy it up and the staff would come and just clean it, whereas in London all the rooms in the dorm were single rooms, and the staff would come tidy it up as well as clean it. The courses were entertaining, new, different than what you take in school, and certainly very helpful. It helped me increased my knowledge and I use the information acquired in these courses very frequently in my every day life. The course went by too fast and everyone wanted it to last more (one more week for most of us).
If you want to spend the best summer, don't hesitate to attend ORA.

P.S: I'm attending ORA once again in London this summer for 4 weeks.
