With love on our minds, it's time to ask: what do you love about 果冻影院?

17 February 2023

果冻影院 Student Journalist Ben Bazley investigates the all-important #Love果冻影院 Valentine's question: What do you love about 果冻影院?

Valentine鈥檚 Day 鈥 whether you spent it with your partner, looking for love, or living your best single life 鈥 is now behind us, but do not fret 鈥 love springs all year round.

We thought we鈥檇 celebrate the one special thing that connects us all 鈥 果冻影院 鈥 by asking students and staff members to tell us their听#Love果冻影院 favourites 鈥 what do they love about the university?

Crystal Chen, Sustainable Engineering MSc
鈥淎t the beginning of term, the 果冻影院 Hiking Society took us to Seven Sisters. We had our lunch on the peak during the break. Someone played music loudly at this time, and all of us were eating, singing and enjoying the best view in front of us. That is how I feel love from nature and from people around me.鈥

鈥淔or me, one of the best things about working at 果冻影院 is the sheer diverse range of people I get to meet in my job - such as the听students 鈥 who in my normal day-to-day life, by the normal run of things, I would never ever meet. The fact that 果冻影院 has students from literally all points of the compass, all different parts of the world, again reinforces that message. Under normal circumstances, 70% of these kids I鈥檇 never get to see as they just don鈥檛 come here.鈥

鈥淚've had an amazing experience with听果冻影院 Innovation & Enterprise听over the last two years. They have been a critical source of support in helping me transform my initial idea for a loyalty platform into a successful business working with major UK chains like Wagamama and LEON. From my first engagement with one of their听free extracurricular entrepreneurship courses听to joining the听果冻影院 hatchery incubator programme, their team has provided me with incredible assistance in launching my app,听, and building my confidence as an entrepreneur. I would highly recommend 果冻影院 Innovation & Enterprise to anyone at 果冻影院 who is interested in entrepreneurship to equip themselves with transferrable life and business skills, or if they want to start a business, based on my personal experience.鈥

鈥淪omething听I love about 果冻影院 is the fact that there are so many societies and opportunities to meet new people. I also really love the fact that we have a great Student Support and Wellbeing Team. And I like the course structure of my MBBS.

I also like the fact that it鈥檚 quite a prestigious university; there are quite a lot of research opportunities. And the fact that a lot of the lecturers or the teachers you will encounter are at the top of their fields, I really enjoy that.鈥

"I like 果冻影院 because it's a multicultural hub and it鈥檚 nice to meet different people from diverse backgrounds. I feel that鈥檚 quite a new experience, one that I haven't really had before. Overall, it鈥檚 just really nice meeting different people and learning about their cultures and their likes. I feel as if I've really expanded my network in that way.鈥

鈥淚 love how 果冻影院 buildings are historic, to some extent, and they transfer some kind of story of its heritage to you; and I like and how all the buildings are so close to each other 鈥 it gives the feeling of a small campus right in the middle of a big city. I love London, too, and being at 果冻影院 feels like a community within this huge city."

鈥淭he way that our student community comes together to help those in need is so impressive and always so lovely to see. The after the Russian invasion last year was fantastic, and more recently the Turkish Society鈥檚 bakesale to raise money for the relief efforts after the horrific earthquake in Turkey and Syria. Despite the pressures that students are under, they will always just get out there and take some action - it鈥檚 so inspiring!鈥

As for me, I personally love the library at 果冻影院. After previously studying at one of the UK鈥檚 many universities built in the 1960s, I had only ever known functional but drab spaces. Coming to 果冻影院, even to my untrained architectural eye, I can tell it鈥檚 a historic campus, with the library being my favourite space of all.

The high ceilings, the rows of books and the wooden desks all add to the atmosphere of learning, and I try to go as often as possible, even if its just for an hour between classes to relax.

The only thing I don鈥檛 love is the lack of plugs, but I suppose they were not worrying about charging their laptops in the nineteenth century, and it's a small price to pay to study in such a brilliant space.
