My impression of Oxford was that everyone would be incredibly privileged … but I was pleasantly surprised that I very much found my people when I came, and absolutely loved my time there.
Hannah Chukwu, (2015, English), award-wining Editorial Director at Dialogue Books
Many of my happiest recreational memories of Worcester stem from my membership of the Boat Club and time spent on the river. My time at Worcester College gave me opportunities I would never have had otherwise, the confidence to succeed in my chosen field, and lasting friendships that I treasure to this day. I couldn’t be more grateful!
Clare Robbins OBE, (1985, Classics), award-winning Head Teacher and Honorary Fellow
