University open day season is upon us, so I thought I would share some of the important things to look for on a university open day. First and foremost is your academic department. You are going to be spending the next three (or more) years in your academic department at least 5 days a […]

It’s that time of year again when the stress of handing in assignments and exams can get a little bit too much. For me it is the time of year when I miss the comforts of home the most. I miss good luck cuddles from my mum and the taste of proper home-cooked food. Therefore […]

I attended their taster sessions and was learning a lot about Frisbee and definitely discovering a love for it. I was not expecting to be thrown head- first into a tournament!

Second week into term and I’m still feeling pretty relaxed (probably, well all right then, definitely too relaxed!;)) I’m living in the same house as last year so I don’t need to settle in again, all our crockery and extra furnishings we bought are still there and I’d left […]
