nice and beutifull jesus use you to know the world in him
Un endroit exceptionnel. Un cadre de rêve pour étudiants chanceux de pouvoir travailler dans un tel endroit.
Today I heard that I am allocated to Jesus college. I am looking forward to life here.
My Grandad was head porter c.1982-01. Peter Bacon. He loved every moment of his time there and loved every single student he helped through their time at Jesus. I spent much time at the college myself and found everyone involved in the college to be amazing people. Lots of fantastic memories
Jesus college medicine has been my goals for 4 years. Yet up till this stage it seems unreachable after the interview. But, a lovely place for academics.
I believe it to be an Exceptional experiance! Great for the advancements Jesus College has made along the future and brightness its future demonstrates.
Fantastic gift to the young generation of Jesuans; good luck and best wishes to you all
