A group of students from the NULC Sixth Form Centre visited Oxford University on Wednesday 24 October. Whilst there they explored two colleges –the oldest one- University College and also what is considered the Northerner’s college – The Queens College. They were shown round by a group of student ambassadors who were enthusiastic and dispelled some of the myths of Oxford.
After a lovely three course lunch in The Great Hall, University College where some of Harry Potter was filmed the students were allowed time to explore Oxford. The two most popular activities were shopping and visiting the world famous Ashmoleon museum. A brilliant day enjoyed by all!
Student comments from the trip:
Georgia Lowe: "I really enjoyed the experience of going to a university today as it was the first time I have looked at a university so far, it gave me good information about that particular college and insight into what I need to do and think about soon. It gave me the chance to ask any questions and talk to people already in university, which I found good."
Alice Trickett: "I have enjoyed the day as I have seen what University life would be like which I found to be interesting. The tours that we had with the students were good because they answered any questions that I had. Overall I had a good experience."
