HMC is a welcoming, cosy and diverse place, with students from all phases of life coming together to pursue education and learning for its own sake
My first degree is in business, and I was an investment banking analyst in Hong Kong before joining HMC to study English Literature. It's a blessing to be a student again, and there is no better place for it than Oxford – where else can you stroll in the same Botanic Gardens that Tolkien liked to frequent?
My favourite thing(s) about Harris Manchester are the meal times. Seating follows the order of the queue that forms organically outside Arlosh Hall, so you never know who you might be sitting next to – it is, in the best way, a conversation roulette. I'm partial to breakfasts, partaking in (lots of!) coffee, toast and fruit-topped cereal with the same few who dutifully show up at 7.45am sharp Monday to Friday.
HMC is a welcoming, cosy and diverse place, with students from all phases of life coming together to pursue education and learning for its own sake. The clock tower doesn't lie: "It's later than you think... But it's never too late."
