Statement from Brasenose JCR cw: abortion as you

Statement from Brasenose JCR
cw: abortion

as you may have seen, the SU hosted, and are still hosting, the 'Oxford Students for Life' group at the SU Freshers' Fair. as a JCR we support the right to choose, and attest that abortion is a fundamental human right.

we want you all to know that Brasenose support anyone needing access to abortion, and anyone who has previously had an abortion. if you need any support please contact one of the welfare reps, or Olivia McQuaid, as your women*'s rep - regardless of your gender identity.

misogyny is not welcome in this JCR, and the denial of the right to choose and bodily autonomy is misogynistic.

İrem (JCR President) and Olivia are taking action, and are joined in this by other JCRs and university societies.

Throwback to an in person open day!!! 😮😮 @o

Throwback to an in person open day!!! 😮😮

@oxford_uni virtual open days are taking place on Wednesday and Thursday this week! We will be on insta, slido and on YouTube live 8am-4pm both days to answer all of your questions about life studying and living at Oxford. Here are some tips to make the most of the days:

👀virtually visit lots of colleges - the Open Days are the place to get a feel of the vibe of all of our different colleges. We’d love to meet you all and show you just how friendly and fun we can be!

📚ask questions about your desired courses - asking students about their courses is the best way to work out what the work is like, what the content is like and whether you will enjoy the Oxford experience! You will also have the chance to visit the faculties, which is where central teaching such as lectures take place.

🏠💷 ask the practical questions - students and staff are all happy to answer questions about accommodation, fees and funding and any other practical requirements you might have

🤪have fun! We aren’t here to be scary or intimidating- we all want to see you make an application to join us here at Oxford and hope that you can have fun attending the Open Days.

No question is too silly! The chances are the students running the open days had the same questions when they were in your shoes, so ask us anything that might come to mind. We’ve had questions about ranging from whether we have double beds in college and the best meal college serves to rowers’ early mornings and playing sports you’ve never heard of before! sign up via the link in our bio!

Last term we elected our very first Fresher’s Re

Last term we elected our very first Fresher’s Rep! Zahra will be leading the organisation of Fresher’s 2021 - here she is!! 🤩

“Hello!! My name is Zahra (she/her) I’m a first-year law student and I’m lucky enough to be your Fresher’s Rep. I’m from London, addicted to coffee (basic, I know) and love to go on runs around the city.

Our fresher’s experience this academic year was unprecedented and strange. Regardless, it was loads of fun and lived up to everything I envisioned it to be. As your BNC Fresher’s Rep for 2020, I’ll be helping organise the schedule for Fresher’s week and Matriculation! Regardless of the circumstances, I hope to ensure that all of you have a memorable and truly Oxford/BNC experience.”
