Trinity College

About me: As a biochemist, I have an interest in all things natural science- zoology, virology, genetics, but no surprises there! I also enjoy painting, cooking, and researching the chemicals inside skin care products. '

Favourite thing about my subject: My favourite thing about biochemistry is my organic mechanism tutorials as I already enjoyed the topic at A-Level and the content is satisfyingly challenging.

Best thing about college life: Dinners in hall with my staircase friends are the definite highlight of life at Trinity. Very wholesome vibes!

About me: I’m a first year doing English Lang + lit, and I’m an EU citizen living in north-east England. I’m deaf, love playing the piano, reading and currently learning how to embroider! 

Favourite thing about my subject: My favourite thing about my subject is how broad it is: the course is super flexible so I’m able to follow my own interests in depth (as long as I can write about them well!). It means I can tailor the course to fit my own interests, which makes it a lot more fun!

Best thing about college life: The people! Everyone is so lovely, there’s always something going on and there’s always people who’s up for a laugh, a nice dinner or just chilling on the lawns! It’s a wonderful community. 

About me: I'm a second-year student from Cheshire and serve as JCR Academic Affairs Rep, Treasurer of the Oxford Doctor Who Society, and organiser of Pokemon tournaments. I occasionally play the trumpet as well.

Favourite thing about my subject: My favourite thing about studying Maths is that there are those wonderful moments when a proof or a problem you are solving comes together, and you get a rush of excitement at the elegance and beauty of it all.

Best thing about college life: The wonderful people. I've made some amazing friends in my time here. The food's pretty legendary as well.

About me: I’m a second year medical student at Trinity! I’m from Maidenhead and went to a state school. I’ve loved being at Trinity so far and have enjoyed being involved in Oxford Marrow, the JCR committee and the Christian Union.

Favourite thing about my subject: I’ve loved doing the patient and doctor course which is where we have sessions with a GP and get to speak to patients ourselves. It’s great fun and makes me excited for hospital placements.

Best thing about college life: The best thing about college life for me is the community! It’s been lovely to have picnics on the Trinity lawns with friends. I also love the college family system- you’ve always got someone to go to for advice! 

About me: I'm a third year biochemist at Trinity. I play football and piano and I was the previous BAME rep in the JCR last year. 

Favourite thing about my subject: The dinners and social events where you can hang out with loads of current students, former students and tutors so its really interesting seeing where you can go and what you can do with the degree.

Best thing about college life: The food at Trinity is insane, it's top top tier.

About me: I am a 2nd year Biomedic. I came from a state school in London and I am the first generation in my family to go to University. I love learning languages, I have over 70 plants in my room and my favourite place is the Natural History Museum. 

Favourite thing about my subject: Although it seems really specific, the degree is so broad. We study modules in genetics, physiology, psychology, cell biology, neuroscience and so much more. There is a also a focus on the experiments behind the discovery of ideas and some of them are so beautifully designed they bring me joy. 

Best thing about college life: It is such a friendly environment, and you can just bump into anyone and start a conversation. 

About me: I have just finished my first year of studying Biochemistry. Out of term time, I live in Sheffield, where the city is huge and tourism is non-existent which can make living in Oxford a bit weird.

Favourite thing about my subject: The variety of tutorial courses and your ability to arrange tutorials based around your strengths and weaknesses.

Best thing about college life: College life is amazing: combining the best of a city and campus university makes it feel like you know where you belong, as well as all the people around you. Being a relatively small college, everyone knows everyone else. Also, because of the college's location, it's easy to plan days out as everything is close by.

About me: My name is Ippy and I’m a second year Medical student at Trinity! I come from Reading and in my spare time I’m Managing Director of a student newspaper and I enjoy drawing and painting. 

Favourite thing about my subject: The breadth of material covered in the first two years, and then the ability to choose what we study in third year after we’ve had exposure to so much and decided what our interests are.

Best thing about college life: College is relatively small so it’s lovely to just get to know everyone so well and have a real community here!
