What is your favourite thing about Teddy Hall?

My favourite thing about Teddy Hall is its ‘Hall Spirit’. Obviously, we are similar to other Oxford colleges in some way, but there is nothing quite like being at Teddy Hall and seeing a Teddy bear mascot at different events like picnics or sports events.

What do you like about the College’s site and location in Oxford?

I enjoy how compact the College is. Being able to see friends who are less than a minute away, and having access to different resources such as the library, the Hall and the JCR without having to break a sweat is incredibly freeing.

Why did you choose to study your course?

I chose to study Law because I love how there are often no right or wrong answers, as well as its relevance in our current times. The broad range of topics means that everyone can find something that they enjoy from this course.

What do you enjoy most about studying your subject?

I love my Law tutorials; being able to express what I think and engage both with tutors and peers in a non-hostile environment where everyone is prepared to not only defend their stance but change it, is something I find particularly enjoyable.

How have your tutors supported you during your time at Teddy Hall?

My tutors have been incredible at providing academic, welfare, and career support. And while they push you hard to do your best, they understand that life sometimes gets in the way.

What’s the best thing about living in Hall accommodation?

The best thing about living in Hall accommodation is the fact that I can see my friends either in our own rooms or communal spaces within a minute.

What has your experience of welfare support at Teddy Hall been like?

Teddy Hall provides amazing welfare support. They take you seriously which was something I have always feared, and they provide both formal and informal support to help manage your welfare situation.
