Student review [#25224] for Art History
at University of Oxford

You know what? The gatekeepers are really good at remembering faces and names like no one else. There were over a hundred new students in the college and they could remember them all within a few days of the start of the school year! Some of the bigger colleges had hundreds of new students, and I wondered for a while if they were looking at our group photos, one by one, with a magnifying glass, and writing everyone’s name on the back. In comparison, I only remembered the name of one old grandfather doorman by the time I graduated from my undergraduate degree, which was so humbling. The doormen at the college were all exceptionally friendly, a few of them greeted me warmly every time and it felt like coming home when I walked in.
