News and updates from Balliol College
 

September 2017


'Summer is discernibly over in Oxford, but the upside of that is that the new academic year is just about to kick into gear. After a summer of preparations, College is just days away from receiving its latest intake of keen, wide-eyed Freshers. Just as there are new beginnings, stories are also coming to an end: this year's finalists are about to start their last year on Broad Street, with the outside world beckoning.'
Freddy Potts (2013, BA History), JCR Vice-President
