Q: Will there be Keble College students on campus during the Seminar?
A: No, as this is a summer program, most of Oxford’s students will be home until term starts in the fall. However, the UMass Oxford Summer Seminar isn't the only American study abroad program in Oxford during the summer: the University of Georgia, St. Bonaventure University, Georgetown University, University of Alabama, Duke University, Harvard University, and many others have their own Oxford Summer Seminars.
