Being relieved of the need to work ridiculous hours while also attempting to complete my degree to a high standard has meant that I have been able to immerse myself fully in the International House community over the past three years. Now at the stage of preparing my resume for employment, it has dawned on me just how much of my ‘skills list’ can be attributed to the opportunities I have taken up as a resident of this college.
