Freshers Welcomed to Brasenose

Undergraduate and Graduate Freshers were welcomed to the Brasenose community this week. The Freshers' week timetable, designed to cater for all tastes, included the fabled Chaplain's College Tour, library inductions, a School Disco, performances by the improvised comedy troupe the Oxford Imps and the all-female a cappella group the Oxford Belles, a pub quiz, pizza night, movie club, trips to local nightclubs, Freshers' Fair, mixed 5-aside football tournament, a barbeque in the Brasenose boathouse and much more. Undergraduates also had dinner with their subject tutors and met with other Brasenose staff members.

Priya Senthilkunar, a 1st Law student, commented: "Brasenose Freshers' week has been the best week of my life, so buzzing. I absolutely feel part of a tight knit community".  Amy Lewin, a 3rd Year English student who led the organisation of the week, commented: "Brasenose has once again proved itself to be the 'friendly' college; the Freshers' Committee have gone out of their way to make the Freshers feel at home and put bundles of effort, energy and enthusiasm into organising their activities. The new addition to the timetable of the 'Meet the Welfare Team' lunches has been a great success, as was the classy Wine and Cheese Evening in the Medieval Kitchen...and Freshers' Week hasn't just been fun for our new arrivals - second, third and even some fourth years scrubbed up for the cocktail evening at the Duke of Cambridge, and scruffed down for the five-aside football tournament. The Alternative Pub Quiz, the Boathouse BBQ and the Concert also saw Brasenose mingle en masse, continuing the strong community spirit which this college maintains from year to year."
