4. Junior Common Room Information

Dear Freshers,

I would like to start by saying congratulations on getting into Oxford, and especially for getting into the monument that is St Hugh’s College! Take the time to relax and enjoy this accomplishment. Entering second year, St Hugh’s has been home away from home and Oxford has been an environment set up to allow you to flourish in your studies and relationships, not that it doesn’t have its challenges. Oxford is unlike any other place you would have come to encounter because it is truly enchanting. It is not unusual that many of you may feel some sort of ‘Imposter Syndrome’ in the anticipation of moving into college or even when you arrive however that should not stop you from making those memories and special connections. You do belong here!

My name is Zariel, second-year Human Sciences student, and this year’s Freshers’ Representative. A huge aspect of my job is to organise your Freshers’ Week, which offers a distinct yet riveting start to university living. This may be your first time moving away from home while also not knowing anyone in College or the wider University. Do not let this worry you; as a member of the St Hugh’s community we are here to welcome you and we are eager to meet all of our newcomers.

There will be a range of freshers’ events including fairs, game nights, music events, workshops, and sports tasters where you will have the opportunity to meet fellow Hughies (Students at St Hugh’s). Keep up to date with our social media pages, especially Facebook, which will be updated regularly. Michaelmas, your first term of the year, is filled with ‘first’ experiences, with fresher events running throughout. This is an exciting chapter in your Oxford journey, so make the most of it! St Hugh’s has a network of support here to make you feel comfortable and prepared to take the next septs in your university experience, so make use of these resources. For now, try to take in the fact that Oxford will be your reality.

If you have any questions that haven’t been answered by the Freshers’ Pack, just email (Zariel.konadu@st-hughs.ox.ac.uk) or Facebook message (Zariel Konadu) or anyone from the fresher’s committee.

Welcome to St Hugh’s, and see you soon!
