Course recommendations
We were on a self-contained course, so didn't interact with others, outside of our research project (which included an interview project). This year I am going back with a different school, to a different Oxford college, and looking ford to seeing the differences, as the programs on set up differently. One of the pluses for this was that our professor arranged an "insider's tour" of the BBC radio.

Personal comments
I liked the readings, journal writings, interactive discussions,graduate project and field trips. It was not too taxing for a summer course, yet I learned alot, and luckily didn't need computer access.

Read as much as possible on 16th and 17th century English History and Literature before arriving... when there, it's often difficult to focus on academics with so many activities available. If you are prepared beforehand, you can better enjoy the best of both worlds.

No-- the program is challenging and demands a great deal of its students; yet you learn an immense amount in a short time.

We had fewer courses to choose from, through a special arrangement made by Stanford, but even then we couldn't go wrong. It was a chance for us to explore interests we wouldn't normally have time or opportunity to back at home.

Not at all. Academic standards in the UK are set very high, which I appreciated and learned a great deal from.

Well, most of these exchange programs have pre-determined course "packages" (mine, for instance, required you to take the 4 courses outlined in the program). This is great, as long as you're interested in all of the courses offered (otherwise, you may be able to arrange a substitution of independent study for one of the courses).

Course recommendations
Taught graduate course are extremely formulaic and intensive and, depending on subject, the student is left with little choice. Research Masters degrees are the way to go for really exploring individual interests.
