Deadlines are approaching. The library has basically become your second home and a can of Red Bull has become your holy water. Although studying is important, it’s always a good idea to take a night off and completely chill. Relax and de-stress. The Chortle Student Awards was definitely a night of much needed de-stressing for […]
The world of dance, especially ballet, can be perceived as an art only made for particular people and body shapes.

You’re going to […]

“Are you ready to have your view forever changed?” Upon entering the New Adelphi Theatre for the show, aside from being supported by the LGBT Foundation and the play itself revolving around American poet Walt Whitman – I wasn’t sure what to expect.

Don’t be fooled by the idea that university is meant to be a time where you have everything set in stone, everything decided and you completely 100% know what you want to do now and for the rest of your life. University is a time for discovering yourself and experimenting as much as high school […]
Studying at the University of Salford has many perks and it’s amazing that one of them can mean travelling 4000 miles from campus to the other side of the world.

I think we can all say we’ve had those New Year resolutions where we are determined to be more active – you know, signing up for a gym, investing in a juicer. A survey on YouGov last year showed us the second most popular resolution is to “exercise more”, but in a separate survey from […]

THIS IS ME Nice to meet you, I’m Helena, I’m 22, Mancunian born and bred, and I am a third-year undergraduate student studying English Language and Creative Writing; so, as you would expect I stereotypically swoon over Mr. Darcy, my room is slowly drowning in books and I was that annoying, pretentious 14 year old […]
My journey to university didn’t involve much travel but that didn’t stop it from being one of the best choices I’ve made. I didn’t travel from miles away to come to Salford and the longest train ride I’ve ever done to get to university is from Deansgate to Salford Crescent and on a good day […]
