Ollie Barlow

Hey everyone, I’m Ollie and I’ve just finished my first year reading Geography.

Immediately when coming to Hertford I was struck by how friendly and welcoming the college was; I hardly had to carry any bags to my room when I first arrived as there were so many people offering to help! The Geography groups at Hertford are great, making all the freshers feel welcome and giving us a hand on the (numerous!) occasions I asked for one. I also try to get involved in as much sport as I can at Hertford, rugby especially, and by the time the telethon comes around I will have returned from a college rugby tour to Mongolia, so will be able to offer some fine anecdotes about what will be an incredible trip. The telethon is a great way to give back to this brilliant community – I can’t wait to talk to many of you!
