Bucksmore Summer Course at Oxford University: A Life-Changing Experience

Beyond the classroom, Thuc Anh found joy in the exhilarating activities and cherished moments spent with her new friends. From gripping rollercoaster rides at Thrope Park to spirited games of Capture the Flag, every experience was filled with laughter and excitement. 

What truly left an impact on Thuc Anh was the diverse community of students she encountered. Interacting with peers from around the world, she learned about their cultures and gained unique perspectives that broadened her horizons. 

Reflecting on her time at Bucksmore, Thuc Anh emphasises that the course extended beyond academics. It nurtured her independence, teaching her valuable life skills and responsibilities. The message from the centre manager on lifelong learning resonated deeply with her, encouraging personal growth beyond the classroom. 

As Thuc Anh concludes her account, she expresses gratitude for the unforgettable experience and encourages others to embark on this transformative journey.  

“Besides academics and education, the course taught me most about independence and responsibilities. It prepares you to not only become a university student, but also a proper individual (adult, even) managing all aspects of life”, she shared.
