This Fall semester, Innis College is excited to say “Ello!” to its newest international student from across the pond, David Davies!

Innis College was Davies’ first pick when it came time to apply, citing numerous reasons. “Innit College just has something about it. Being surrounded at home in Brighton by lavish castles and historic Georgian architecture can get a bit boring. I could’ve gone to Victoria or Trinity College, but that’s mundane. I knew I wanted something I’d never seen before, something with some real grunge and filth. The late 90s modern design of the residence left me gobsmacked and lived up to all my expectations. It even has an aquarium-themed room; a level of kitsch I’ve never encountered before. The place is truly the dog’s dinner, and I love it.“

Davies says that the buildings themselves aren’t the only thing to love. “I really love the student body here. Quite diverse. You’ve got pretentious film students that remind me of Islington living in the same quarters as people reminiscent of Essex men. Truly a mixing pot.“
