"Surrounded by sandstone and beautiful gardens, it's difficult not to love living and studying at Ormond. It's the perfect place for a grad student like me to focus on my studies within a really diverse group of students, so many of whom have become fast friends. Living with grads from many disciplines means education goes beyond my own degree, whilst the social events organised by the grad student body ensure we don't all go crazy with study!"

- Zoe Fitzherbert-Smith, Ormond Graduate student
