"Pelican was my second home; I have so many life long friends who I met there and I will never forget the many hours of laughs I had in that house!"

"A couple of my favourite memories from Pelican would have to be the balls we had. Having the chance to dress up and have some good food with the teachers was such a fun night and it gave us an even better chance to form more friendly relationships with them! Another fond memory I have in Pelican were the pizza nights and the evenings we would manage to persuade our tutor to take us to Tesco (unbelievably exciting) - the most memorable being when we’d only be taken if we wore something we wouldn’t be seen dead in, which really sums up all the fun we’d have."
