Hey, congratulations! Your A-Levels are over and you’ve made it – you’re going to uni. Seeing as you’ve chosen to come to Leicester, you’ve obviously got good common sense (and impeccable taste in higher education providers).

Looks like this chapter of my life is officially closed. At this moment in time I’ve completed the Interdisciplinary/Natural Science course and graduated! (*pops open imaginary champagne bottle*) My graduation ceremony was on the 15th July 2016 and it was such a wonderful occasion; definitely a highlight of my life. Years of work and commitment […]

Previously I did a blog about “Making the Most of University” where I reflected on the myriad of opportunities to have fun, learn and develop at university, aside from your course. I concluded that blog by saying that all you have to do is search for them; which is true, but I wanted to make […]

This week students from all years of I-science joined together in shooting each other with sometimes-working lasers for the nostalgic pleasure in seeing your assigned game character somewhere on the laser tag score board, and being the third in a series of annual first socials, it may have just been the best one yet.
