I’m Alex, a second year studying English at Merton. Oxford is the most eclectic place I’ve ever been, and so besides spending (not enough) time reading, I like to do a range of things outside my degree – especially when those things are in cafes and pubs! Despite the hype, there’s a lot of the mundane here in Oxford. The things that initially amazed us in this city can get forgotten in the humdrum of daily life…and who has time to think about meaning and purpose when you feel

Who are you / What do you do in Oxford? I’m Rachael, a second-year English student at Trinity, usually found pint or tea in hand, occasionally found reading for my degree or singing in the Trinity chapel choir.

As I like to spend most of my time outside, I enjoy what I call ‘the more practical side of my course’. What is the most wonderful thing about life? Life is an exciting, complex and compelling state of bei

Who are you and what do you do in Oxford? I’m Noel, and I just graduated from Mansfield College in 2019 with a BA in Theology and Religion. I’m now doing an MPhil in Theology at Keble, making this is my 4th year in Oxford. When I’m not busy geeking out in the library, you might find me playing squash or ambling around Port Meadow! What is the most wonderful thing about life? It’s hard to answer this question without sounding painfully cliché, but I think the most wonderful th
