Adventures from 2011 Part One!

2011 has been a very eventful year at INTO! So we thought it would be a nice idea to put together a montage of photographs from the social programme recapping the exciting adventures of the year...

If anyone has read our blog from the Summer, you will know that a lot happens at INTO during this time. The social programme is packed full of exciting events and activities, so we thought it would be nice to start with these!


Over the summer months we have many groups that come to learn English with us from all over the world! We regularly have students from Japan, Spain, Italy and China who study in Duryard, our other academic building which consists of a lovely Victorian house. It's also the perfect place (weather permitting) to stage outdoor activities like our Old Fashioned Sports Day which consisted of wheelbarrow racing and egg and spoon racing!



Every weekend during the summer we also had daytrips on each Saturday from the end of June until the middle of September. We started with a walk around Exeter city, starting at the university, stopping halfway at the beautiful quayside and ending at the stunning cathedral! It was a very popular day out and great start to the summer!

Other trips which took place over the summer included the Roman city of Bath, the Welsh capital of Cardiff, the seaside town of Sidmouth and its yearly national Folk Festival, Stonehenge and Salisbury, the impressive ecological Eden Project and glorious St Ives!
