Julie Shorrock (College Manager)
My office is next door to the Accommodation Manager. My door is always open (generally during office hours) to students who wish to discuss problems – whether academic or personal or just want to pop in for a chat or say ‘hello’. If you are feeling homesick, having problems with flatmates just pop in to see me or email me and I will do my best to alleviate this and find the best way forward; I am always willing to offer a soothing word and sometimes this is all that is required. If I can’t sort things out I’m sure I’ll find someone who can but be assured your problems will seem lighter after talking them over – all conversations are confidential.
