Testimonials
My stay with Bucksmore was absolutely perfect! The counsellors were all very welcoming and made sure that everybody had a great time. The classes were very interesting and I really appreciated that we were only 11 students in each class. The best part was how I got the chance to meet so many nice people from various countries!
I spent two weeks this summer at Plumpton College and I absolutely loved it! I chose the Bucksmore Summer course and I really enjoyed it. The activities and excursions planned were very interesting and amusing. It's a very good way to experience different ways of living and also meeting new people from different places.
I had such a great time there. I met a lot of new friends. Everyone was very kind and every day we had fun. Thank you Bucksmore for amazing experience.
