College Life

At John Snow, we aim to provide you with a first class Wider Student Experience. Our goal is to help and encourage you to develop your life long personal qualities which add value to your academic achievements.

We know these qualities are highly desirable to future employers, and critical in helping you become a global citizen. These qualities include intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, creativity, entrepreneurship, self-expression, leadership, teamwork, independence, and a strong sense of social responsibility.

Explore our Junior Common Room

Here in College, you will have the opportunity to attend interesting lectures, workshops and debates on subjects beyond your degree studies, which will develop your intellectual curiosity. Through engagement with our many sports clubs, art, music and theatre societies, and the Junior Common Room (JCR) of the College, you will develop your personal effectiveness. Through your engagement with our outreach and volunteering programmes you will develop your sense of belonging and values.

We will provide you with challenges and opportunities, and encourage your engagement and participation with everything we offer. And we are sure you will enjoy these experiences so that your time at Snow will provide a kaleidoscope of vivid memories.

My experience at Snow has been everything I could have asked for and more! From the moment I arrived at college I felt welcomed and knew I’d made the right choice. I’ve been able to make amazing friends both on and outside my course, join and even exec on some of Snow’s amazing societies, and really make college my home away from home. Snow just has one of those communities where you feel like you belong no matter what - even on my year abroad I’ve managed to stay involved and bleed blue in Canada and Italy. I’m really looking forward to returning for my final year.
