It is that time of year when everyone is slowing down and gearing up for the Christmas holidays. The city centre is well lit and campus has just hosted its annual Christmas market (the best food is eaten here!). But as a third and final year student, this point of the year is basically the […]

During the initial phone call where the advisor just asked what course I was interested in and what grades I had achieved, I […]

Leicester is a great place to be around the Christmas period. You can really feel it in the atmosphere and most definitely around the city centre. The lights are up and get switched on as soon it starts to get dark. The little nativity decorations are up in front of the town hall, surrounding the […]

“4 weeks till Christmas Faheema” is what I keep telling myself as soon as I wake up. I was under the illusion that second year would not be that different to first year but the first half of semester one was an eye opener to say the least. Not saying that first year is a […]
