Community Life Programme
Our Community Life Programme is built on understanding and respecting the diverse experiences and perspectives of our members.
With 200 students from around 80 countries, we acknowledge that misunderstandings and unconscious biases can arise. However, we are all here to learn, grow, and challenge ourselves to view the world differently.
A key part of Community Life is the role students play in shaping it. Throughout the year, students design and lead events that reflect the diversity of the community and the issues they care about. These include initiatives such as:
Regional Days
Intersectionality Weeks
Cultural Celebrations
Awareness Campaigns
Community Dialogues
These moments create spaces not only for celebration but also for critical reflection, learning, and meaningful exchange.
Students live in houses supported by House Leaders and Advisors, who provide guidance and care while encouraging independence. Regular house meetings, advisor sessions, and community gatherings create spaces for reflection, dialogue, and shared decision-making. Another important aspect of the Community Life Programme is the Life Skills Programme, mandatory for all the students during their first year at the College. In this space, students learn skills that are important both during their time at the College and beyond, including setting personal boundaries, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and learning about different identities.
Care and wellbeing are important to everything we do. We recognise that living in a diverse and intensive environment can be both rewarding and challenging, and we provide the structures and support needed for students to feel safe, supported, and able to thrive.
