After getting on to the Oxford University PGCE course to become a Secondary School Teacher of English, I researched colleges for mature students and came across Harris Manchester, the perfect college for me! It is small enough for you to get to know many of the residents and wonderfully friendly College staff, who go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable, happy and well looked after.

I joined the choir and perform weekly in HMC's magnificent Chapel with original William Morris stained glass windows. The food is absolutely exceptional, with Friday curry nights being my favourite. You have to see the library for yourself to appreciate how spectacular it is. Our Principal is so lovely! A magnet for attracting new talent, celebrating the best HMC has to offer and making excellent speeches at formal occasions.

I have been so happy at HMC, which boasts an impressive list of alumni, and full of brilliant scientists, lawyers, archaeologists, creative writers, and historians.
