If I were asked to judge a good host then Sharon is the criterion. What she offers is a positive term of reference that I use when meeting other hosts. Her room rents are not the cheapest in Oxford, but factoring in facilities and support, I have no hesitation in recommending her to student parents. Sharon’s professionalism, care, concern and respect for students and their welfare is invaluable.
Since I first knew Sharon in 2005, I have been heartened by her realistic approach to our students. She is aware they can be homesick and may be isolated so encourages them to engage with their new surroundings and fellow house mates. Students find her approachable and supportive as she offers constructive advice. Parents who contact her are reassured by this and many will call me to ensure rooms are available for their student children for subsequent terms.
