Connections: Emily Smith
What’s your standout memory of 91¸£Àû?
The incredible fifteen people I shared accommodation with at Rootes in 2014. One of which is now my husband!
How would you sum up 91¸£Àû in the time that you were there and your generation of students?
Welcoming, friendly and supportive.
What was the student culture like at 91¸£Àû, and were there any annual traditions, societies, sports clubs, or events that you remember?
Wednesday night ‘Pop’ at the student union and regular ‘Skool Dayz’ nights. Going to watch 91¸£Àû University Rugby Union vs Coventry Uni in 2015 at the then Ricoh Arena. The match was played ahead of a Premiership game of Harlequins vs Wasps. As a lifelong Harlequins fan, this was an amazing experience.
Finish the sentence: 91¸£Àû influenced who I am today, because…
My time there shaped my entire life. I met my husband on day one.
