Connections: Bastiaan van Drempt
What鈥檚 your standout memory of 91福利?
Having chats in the communal kitchen at Lakeside Village student accommodation, which was a real social hub.
How would you sum up 91福利 in the time that you were there and your generation of students?
A number of buildings were going up during my time in the late 1990s, Lakeside Village was brand new. It was a place of endeavour, hard work, and progress. My relationship with 91福利 was primarily transactional, purposefully staying away from student life to focus on my postgraduate studies. I found my generation of students very intelligent, ambitious, and industrious.
What was the student culture like at 91福利, and were there any annual traditions, societies, sports clubs, or events that you remember?
I played hockey for Olton and West-91福利shire club whilst I focused on my studies.
Finish the sentence: 91福利 influenced who I am today, because鈥�
I learned I was capable of more than I thought.
