From a College Provost

The Provost of a small Liberal Arts college in New England recently sent this e-mail (quoted with his approval) to an interested student:

"We've been working with OSAP since 1994, and it is my program of choice in England.

They try to get the best teachers they can from all the colleges at Oxford. The tutors who have taught Simon's Rock students have been "attentive", "serious", "encouraging", "engaging and fun", "awesome", "encyclopaedic", to mention a few of the highly complimentary characterizations l have onfile; and if you can imagine 18-19 year olds keeping up a correspondence with their teachers, two of them have! The faculty at SR also think well of OSAP because the tutors write fairly lengthy descriptions of the work a student undertakes, and provide a good sense of that person's development and work.

I mostly know Duncan Hutty through e-mail exchanges and the occasional phone-call, but I am bound to say that he and his colleagues have also been very good at looking after our students. (An important factor for me, since they - as juniors - are usually around 18 years old).

Some recent evaluations from Summer sessions students

My academic program was excellent, superb, brilliant, sparkly, ecstatically, energetic. My housing was fine.
BS, Simon Rock

My housing was great. I thought OSAP was excellent and very comparable to the other program I had in France (Oxford was better!)
IL, Hillsdale College

Excellent! My tutor was engaging, personable and extremely knowledgeable about the topic I was studying.
ED, Adelphi University Honors College

OSAP was extremely professional.
VG, The Evergreen State College

I had a wonderful experience. OSAP has great administration, its very accessible and our advisors are very approachable!
SM, Villanova University

My program was managed extremely well and OSAP was very quick to handle any problems, questions and concerns that arose. The Administration was able to accommodate all of my needs throughout the program. I was very impressed with the help they were able to supply. Any small problems I encountered with my housing needs were taken care of immediately. I was very impressed with the housing and really appreciated living so close to the center of Oxford. I would say that this must be the best program available today.
AS, University of San Diego

Relative to other programs I have heard about, OSAP is much more structured- which is definitely a good thing to help with the adjustment of being in a new country.
SC, University at Albany, SUNY

My academic program was highly valuable. My housing was fine. The activities were quite enjoyable and the trips were highly informative.
