When I applied to Oxford, I knew little about what I could expect of the University apart from its world renowned quality of education. Coming from Sweden, I had hardly heard anything about the different ‘colleges’ that constitute the University until I encountered them on the UCAS application form. But after I had been accepted and had come here to study, I realised how fortunate I was to have come to LMH.
The College does a remarkable job in combining responsible tutoring and great academic results with an informal and friendly atmosphere. I have learned so much about both my subject and myself since I came here, and I have made life-long friendships. The close proximity of LMH to the University Parks and LMH’s wonderful gardens by the river place the College in an environment which is unlike any of the other colleges in the centre of town, and I am also very grateful to our college library, which is open 24 hours a day and has an extensive collection in ancient and classical studies.
As an international student, I appreciate the warm welcome LMH has given me and the open mindedness of my tutors and fellow students. I have learned a lot about the English culture and all other cultures that are represented in this highly international college. I can strongly recommend LMH to all students, domestic and international, who are interested in top quality education and in having three fantastic years at university.
