CURRENT MISSION

Spicing up student life with some visitors from abroad

ABOUT ME

Hi I'm Jack born and raised in the UK! My family home is in Wimbledon in south London where there is a famous tennis tournament. I study Psychology at Oxford and split my time between doing my research project, attending lectures and going to the gym. I have a passion for reading - one of my favourite authors is Thomas Pynchon. I enjoy relaxing and going to the pub - see you there!

Greetings my name is Bjorn. I am from Stockholm in Sweden. I am studying Psychology at Oxford with a focus on Social Psychology. One of my hobbies is creating electronic music via my laptop. I spend my time playing floorball (a popular Nordic sport - google it!) and climbing. Ive recently taken up Russian lessons in the university. I'm very excited to meet you :)

PHILOSOPHY

Different folks different strokes. Meeting new people is fun!

Teach, Learn, Share

We can share Oxford student culture with you and give you access to places you'd never see as a standard tourist! Plus if you have an interest in Psychology we'll be happy to talk to you about it and show you around our department (it's quite ugly...)
