Balliol College, Oxford – A Mentor’s Blog

The first few days at Balliol College, Oxford have been a great success as we welcomed a diverse range of students from all across the world, who brought the sunshine along with them! This week, the students have really embraced the Oxford lifestyle of ‘work hard, play hard’, fully engaging in their academic sessions as well as taking part in lots of activities, making new friends and memories along the way.

On Monday afternoon, the students had a walking tour of Oxford in the gorgeous weather and were able to see iconic locations like the Radcliffe Camera and Sheldonian Theatre. The evening was then spent getting to know each other with our icebreaker activities. Our favourite moments from the night include the creative Pictionary drawings, human bingo and a lively game of Splat to end a fantastic first day.

We have loved these past days and look forward to all the new adventures in the next few weeks. It can definitely be said that the students are now fully immersed in the Oxford experience!
