Photo- “So much reading”- Julie Freiburghaus, overall winner.
The Colleges and Community Life Team along with the Resident Life Assistants are delighted to announce the winners of the College Life Photo competition, that invited students to be inspired and get creative by taking part in a themed, photo a day-style competition, based on first experiences of University Life and being away from home, especially for the first time, for many.
The team was blown away by the wonderful snapshots of exploration, creativity and sense of community & hopefulness, in a time where we all need it the most, among these extraordinary times. In total, 100 photos were submitted and so it was a very tough decision to decide the overall winners.
However, in First place, many congratulations to Julie Freiburghaus (Park Wood College), a second year Erasmus student.
