“I love boarding because it’s a great culture, full of diversity and I have met people from all over the world.  Boarding creates a real sense of community on a global scale, which I feel is something you would not get anywhere else. Boarding has given me the chance to become more independent as I have learned to cook meals from fellow students in shared kitchens and do simple tasks like my own laundry, ironing and, shopping, that most people don't do until uni. It’s really helped me to develop a set of skills that will be useful in life and set me up for uni and moving out on my own.”

“Boarding is that never ending sleepover. I have had some of the best experiences of my life boarding. You get to spend time with some of your favourite people, amazing friends and staff and people that make living here at Gordon’s like a second home. Once you get tired of them you are able to go home – it’s perfect! Staff here really don’t make you feel like it is a foreign place at all, it is all very friendly and open with all sorts of activities to keep us entertained and support if you feel that little bit home-sick.”
