How you came to London?
After spending ten years in India working as a marketing professional I decided it was a good point in my career to take some time out to recharge my intellectual batteries and where better than London!
Why you chose to live in Goodenough College?
The College was recommended to me by a past student and as it has such an excellent reputation I decided to apply.
What you think is special about Goodenough College?
I like the fact the College has a proper application process and is not just available to anyone who can pay to stay here. Goodenough College is a lot more than a building with rooms - it is the result of many years of care and hard work.
Your typical week at Goodenough?
The weeks fly by at Goodenough College. I am involved with the Yearbook and am currently a Yearbook representative. My weeks vary slightly but on a whole I like to go to some of the presentations on offer. The college offers over 25 clubs of which I am a member of the Bike and GC Adventurers club. I have also participated in several dining-in nights that have given me the opportunity to meet and debate with my fellow members of the College.
What Goodenough means to you?
The College for me symbolises the multicultural diversity of London. It is all London has to offer in a nutshell: diversity, culture, tradition, history, adventure, activities and friends.
