Why I love living at Ashwell House

Although excited about a new time in my life, I was pretty lost and overwhelmed when I first arrived in London a year ago. I floundered for a while, wondering if this city would ever feel like home. I must confess that now it does, ever since I started living in Ashwell – a home where I’m comfortable and happy and one that I know will always be a part of me. It has provided me with an environment to develop holistically through academic excellence, personal, inter-personal and social skills. Ashwell is firmly grounded in values that promote mutual respect, personal maturity and integrity, teamwork and social concern.

I love living in Ashwell as it has provided me with a very multicultural environment and has opened a window to faraway lands and cultures. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone who has the opportunity to do so and I can assure you that your experience will be every bit as life-altering and wonderful as mine is proving to be.
