Udit Bery  is reading for a BA in Literae Humaniores at Magdalen College at the University of Oxford. With a quickly developing fluency in Ancient Greek he is moving into the end of his first year having truly enjoyed the benefits of living and studying in one of the intellectual centres of the world. When not pouring over Homer and Catullus in the Bodleian Library, he enjoys attending classical music concerts and plays. With a passion for learning for learning's sake, though it may be a cliche in college guide books today, he strongly believes that an education in a top university is an incomparable experience.

Udit graduated from the Shri Ram School where he studied the IB and apart from Oxford applied to number of leading US colleges. He has spent the last five summers working in a girl's school in Srinagar ravaged by military conflict and communal tension. He has worked for summer after he graduated from school with Future Works helping students to hone their writing skills and widen their intellectual interests, in a hope that working with him will not only help them get into college but also prepare themselves for the significant mental rigour that is central to an education in a leading university. As it says in Delphi, 'know thyself'; the college process is one of self-discovery and Udit will try to ensure that the process will both have a rewarding outcome and be rewarding in itself.
