I recently visited Goodenough College in London and had a truly lovely experience. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a strong sense of community. What stood out most to me was the abundance of green space—lush, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing or connecting with others. The overall vibe was inspiring and positive. A beautiful place to live, learn, or simply spend some time.
