Considering an English Summer School? A Little Late? Then Give a Thought to Marlborough College

I'm not suggesting that every place in Oxford's and Cambridge's summer schools have been taken; but many of the most popular courses are now full (it's April, after all), and what remains may not be to your liking.

So turn instead to Marlborough College in Wiltshire, England. Marlborough is, usually, a large, private boarding school for youngsters of high school age, a place that the British refer to as a college (with a green campus ringed with graceful buildings in the center of an historic town). And in the summer, it accepts adults of all ages to participate in classes ranging from the literary works of Thomas Hardy to the steps of Scottish Dancing. I've had the most enthusiastic recommendations for it (my sister attended one year), and its curriculum is broad enough to satisfy almost any seeker of knowledge and/or intellectual entertainment.

The tuition and accommodations are quite reasonable (about $490 for the average week), the cost of meals runs about $50 for a week of lunches, around $102 for a week of dinners, and the details are all found at www.mcsummerschool.org.uk. I'm currently on the lookout for summer courses at other British colleges (they must exist), but wanted to convey the news of Marlborough before completing that job of research.
