MEET SCHOLAR STUDENT, EMMA

I chose to study at Long Road over elsewhere because the staff and students were so welcoming and positive The environment is very inclusive and open to debates and discussions and there were many places indoors and outdoors to hang out.

One of the key factors of Long Road which inspired me to join here was the beautiful green areas behind the college – whilst I haven’t had the best opportunity to use this very much yet due to wet weather, seeing animals like squirrels and birds and having such a large space of quiet filled with different colours and bridges was very calming and proved the atmosphere of the college really caters towards the welfare of the students

Similarly, the opportunities within sports inspired me – and usage of the gym for everybody, and I now am able to play Rugby for the first ever time for a girls team

My favourite thing about Long Road so far is the overall atmosphere, I love it – the genuine communal focus that the students and teachers hold and the willing to help, without putting extensive pressure on anybody

I think however that my overall favourite thing is the freedom that long road has – with different opportunities but little compulsory things, it encourages me to take advantage without being weighed down by pressure that I have to be there
