As part of our psychology degree at UoL we’re required to participate in a variety of experiments usually conducted by 3rd year students as part of their dissertations – otherwise known as EPR.

Now one thing I’ll never understand is people who spend days on end in the library achieving minimal amounts, why drag yourself to the library to write 2 paragraphs in 7 hours?

So as everyone will tell you joining a club or society at uni is an absolute MUST, it widens your social circle, gets you out of the house and if you join a sports club – keeps you fit. I think it’s SO important to widen your social circle outside of your flatmates, as […]

I personally feel like I can’t keep up with it all unless I’m militantly organised, so here are a few ways I keep myself together.

As all students know, money can become easily scarce, with textbooks, vodka, and take out pizza all contributing to the demise of your student loan. Therefore the easy solution is of course a part-time job, however finding a job that will fit around your timetable, socials AND allow you to return home for the holidays can often […]
