Hometown Holidays 1.0
Before coming to university, I never thought I would build such close relationships with my friends/housemates, however, over the past two years, our group of friends have travelled to and stayed in each others hometowns – Devon, Doncaster and London.

This year’s theme is #progressforprogress and the University of Leicester are fully embracing the day by turning it into a week of events. Leicester’s events kick off today, […]
