Description: This summer, study abroad! Sessions at England's Oxford University offered by ASA are truly broadening and invigorating experiences, during which you will be meeting and making friends from the world over. Residing at Lady Margaret Hall College, this is a truly unique opportunity to live like an Oxford undergraduate.

As a student in ASA's Oxford Summer Study Abroad Program, you will find Britain's oldest and most prestigious university provides a unique academic and cultural setting in which to preview college life. You will enjoy challenging academic courses, a wide variety of extracurricular activities and a full schedule of exciting excursions to gain a wonderful taste of England's history, culture and traditions.

Courses are taught by an accomplished and dynamic faculty that includes Oxford university professors, Rhodes scholars, artists, journalists and scientists. Our faculty members--the best and the brightest--have devoted a lifetime to pursuing their passions, and will make subjects come to life for you.

One of the most wonderful aspects of our Summer Study Abroad program at Oxford is the learning that extends beyond the classroom. To a great extent, course curricula are enhanced by the extraordinary resources of Oxford, London and surroundings.

Highlights: The city of Oxford is a wonderful mix of old and new. Today's city, while still maintaining a strong university focus, is also a haven for business and enterprise. With modern shops, cinemas, cafes and restaurants, Oxford is an active, exciting place to spend your summer.

Oxford is ideally situated to allow easy access to the wealth of attractions in England. Every weekend and on several weekdays, we'll travel to fantastic, historic sites. A schedule of afternoon and evening activities and outings will be organized around your interests. You will be fascinated by:

    * the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology - Britain's oldest public museum
    * the Pitt-Rivers Museum - with its own world-renowned anthropological heritage
    * Modern Art Oxford - Oxford's MOMA, offering an impressive collection of contemporary art

If you believe the play's the thing, catch one at the Globe Theatre, an exquisite replica of William Shakespeare's famous London theatre. Also be sure to visit Stratford Upon Avon, Shakespeare's birthplace, where you can attend a performance by the Royal Shakespeare Company.

If government is of interest to you, imagine visiting the Houses of Parliament, where you will learn about the workings of British government from a Member of Parliament. You may also visit the Royal Courts of Justice, the Old Bailey, Buckingham Palace, and so much more!

In sum, as a student in ASA's Oxford Summer Study Abroad Experience, the possibilities are endless and the opportunity to learn is extraordinary!
