Residents also provide feedback to others
Here are comments from two first year residents responding to a Faculty of Engineering survey of scholarship holders.
“I was accepted into New College and have had one of the best years of my life, trying to take every opportunity both academically and socially. The college was able to assist with my studies as they provided academic tutors, and in addition there were 2nd and 3rd years who were undertaking civil engineering and were thus able to pass on hints and tips for surviving first year civil engineering.”
“As well as providing daily services like catering and cleaning, the chance to meet so many other people in similar situations is in itself worth the stay. I cannot imagine my first year at university being nearly as enjoyable if it were not spent in New College.”
