Oxford Student Scholar. To my great relief, on my arrival from Zimbabwe, my tutor was at the airport to warmly welcome me and take me to Christ Church. That was my first thought on seeing Christ Church. It looked massive and daunting. I discovered later that looks can be deceiving.
People here are very friendly and helpful.
Studying engineering is hard work, but if you work steadily throughout the term, you can cope. There are many activities to get involved in. I play hockey, sing in a choir, do karate and I am a member of the Christian Union. The College boasts undergraduates from all walks of life and in such a diverse and friendly environment, it is easy to find your own level. Academically, high standards of effort and attainment are expected, but the scope afforded to you in your studies makes for a rewarding experience.
