5 Things I’ll Miss About Living In A Student House
November 25, 2016
I could finally relate to the TV show Friends. Recently excited first and second years have been stumbling into our house, checking out the rooms and seeing if they want to rent the home.

Having spent the last 18 years of my life in the same city, I was undoubtedly excited to move to Nottingham to pursue my dream degree. As an international student, 4500 miles away from home, I couldn’t wait for the changes that this move would bring. Don’t get me wrong, I love Dubai. It’s a …

July 11, 2016
It’s rather an English tradition that, come summer, students flock back to the nest for a few months instead of sticking around their university town.
