Congratulations to everyone who made their offer for Balliol. I look forward to meeting you in October.
If you have any questions before you arrive then send me an email at jcr.vice.president@balliol.ox.ac.uk Your College parents are also good people to get in touch with so find them on Facebook or send them an email.
There will be lots of information arriving by post soon. Make sure you read all of it and get all the necessary information to the College sooner rather than later.
Remember to send a passport photo to the JCR as well. The address is in the letter from me which you will find in the pack.
