text by Amanda YuAfter a drink or two, I sat down with a group of friends talking about our three years at Oxford.儲存 The topic of discussion eventually fell upon exploring any regrets we have had during our time at Oxford. Off the top of my head, I feel I have no regrets and I would not do any part of it differently.For many of my friends, the one thing they wished they had done is to have been more involved in something beyond our colleges. At a university with around 21,000 undergraduates and postgraduates, being in a college would restrict one's friend pool to essentially 500 people.Whilst that may seem sufficient, there are many more talented, impressive, and like-minded students in other colleges, and one way to meet them is to be part of university-wide societies or teams.Fortunately, I had not missed this opportunity.As a member of the university squash team, I made friends with many people whom I would not normally have met or spoken to because of our differe新蒲崗迷你倉ces. However, squash brought us together. In addition, being part of societies and organising events have given me chances to meet many who have similar career interests-people whom I may end up working with in the future.Despite the importance of academic achievements and what we went to Oxford forstudying,my take on university was to make the most out of the opportunities here. Going to university is about enjoying social life, meeting people (or networking for some), starting something new, and balancing all of that with school work. What would be the point of going to university if you ended up with a great degree but no other memories or experiences? Ultimately, as the rest of our working lives go, work-life balance is one of the most crucial parts of any careers. It is probably good practice to start this prioritisation early at university!Writer's ProfileYu is an Oxford student who talks about her unique experiences of settling into the prestigious university.mini storage
