A welcome break from your studies

"At Goodenough, the boundaries between countries and cultures disappear. It becomes normal that you see things from totally different angles because we are all from different backgrounds. Taking part in College life gives you a welcome break from your studies, and if your course gets stressful, College Members and staff are always there to support you."

Very special

"Goodenough has given me something very special. While working on my Masters, I have found time to take stock of my life, to enjoy a wider perspective, and to make new friends."

Marion

My perspective broadened

"I have been privileged to enjoy an environment of diverse academic interests and disciplines, in which my thoughts and ideas have been tested, my views challenged and my perspective broadened."

Aman

A sanctuary

"Since arriving, Goodenough has provided a sanctuary, where I have felt supported to develop myself both intellectually and personally. It is a community based on openness, candour, and integrity, and I cannot imagine life in London without it."

Julia

A welcoming home for my family

"Not only am I able to live in a community of like-minded individuals, but as the College is the only student residence in London that caters for families as well as single students, I have been able to live here with my partner and young son. This has enabled me to pursue my studies to enhance my career whilst also providing a welcoming home for my family. I have become very involved in College life running both the Kids Yoga & Buddhist events and my partner is the College’s photographer."
