    At New College 'Why Am I Happy to Be Here?'

This was of course no scientific survey and the response may well have been confined to ‘satisfied customers’. So conclusions must be cautious. What one can say, however, is that those who are satisfied point with a remarkable degree of unanimity to a number of valued features of life in New College. Words which constantly recur include community, diversity, flexibility, acceptance. It is no surprise that the beauty of this city and the College’s particular location within it are appreciated – and are often part of the motive of original choice. Less obvious in advance but as important on arrival are the ’world class college facilities’, by which students refer to the combination of library, computing facilities, dining-cum-common room and all in a single, compact unit - with one adding ‘a beautiful building’. But more appreciated than this ‘hardware’ is the ‘software – the academic and human content. The sense of community is seen as a combination of factors. Deliberate choice of both subject and place is particularly Some are the already mentioned physical factors – the ample characteristic of postgraduates and of older undergraduates social spaces, the ‘enclosed placement’ and being relatively and the reasons are manifold.
