News and updates from Balliol College

April 2019


'It's 0th Week and the undergraduates have come back to revise for collections. Here in the College Office it's very busy as the tutors bring in dozens of different exam papers and we make all the arrangements - logging in papers, keeping track of students who are off sick, finding rooms and invigilators for those with special requirements, and then afterwards getting the papers to the tutors and collating all the results. As always at the beginning of term, we’ve hit the ground running . . .'
