I am part of the Exeter College hockey team where I have enjoyed meeting new people from the JCR as well as the MCR. I also enjoy the weekly welfare tea events and find this a wonderful way to relax and unwind after a long week.
I have made friends with the most diverse and interesting group of people I have yet met. It was always a dream to come to Oxford, and it has lived up to my expectations in every way.
Coming to Oxford from China was the best decision in my life so far. It has taught me to focus on cultivating and improving my core competitiveness. I frequently attend the Rector's Seminars, where many academics and leading figures in politics and industry come and share their views on either historical or current hot issues.
I am very happy to be part of Exeter College's community. I had the great opportunity to live in College accommodation last year and I had the best time with everyone there, getting to know people from all over the world.
The Exeter community has an impeccable knack of making international students feel right at home. With social activities throughout the year, there was never a dull moment for someone who had just arrived in a town thousands of miles away from home.
The decision to apply to Oxford was borne out of a combination of me trying to be the best I can be, whilst trying to reach that next step. Oxford is challenging but it’s good to be in an environment that allows you to feel challenged, but keeps you motivated, being surrounded by other motivated people.
Living in the graduate accommodation at Exeter House means you immediately become part of the Exeter family and provides a brilliant way to get to know the other people in college and make friends from beyond your course.
I have experienced lively exchanges of ideas which are vital skills in the build-up of my future career – critical thinking, effective and persuasive communication and always being ready to take on a challenge!
“Many have gone on to do important scientific work but all remember those wonderful times when we and our science were young and our excitement in meeting new challenges knew no bounds.”
