Well hello there! My name's Rhys and I'm a Broadcast Journalism student at the University of Salford, in my first year. I talk too much, eat too much, and do the odd bit of blogging here and there. Originally from Southampton, but currently loving life in Manchester.
We must stop meeting like this! I hope you’re all having fun and are finding some time to relax in the build-up to these academically challenging times. My latest ‘fad’ is trying things that aren’t necessarily to my taste (or so I thought). I don’t mean like mushrooms and sprouts, I mean actual activities. I’ve done another […]
Henry Romanenko, 29, decided to start his journey with Salford September 2016, when he enrolled on BSc Accounting and Finance at Salford Business School.

I am a procrastination professional, without a doubt. Revision? You know I must clean my shoes. Essay deadline? I’ll FaceTime my old boss and see how he’s getting on. Bibliography?

Hello again! Well I thought I’d give vlogging a go, to give you an ultra-personal update on what’s going on in my life at Salford. I’ll be updating these regularly for the next few months, so please let me know if there are any specific areas of uni life that you want me to cover – hope you find it […]
Callum is a first year BA Film Production student who I was lucky enough to spend some time with, chatting about his time at university so far. I could tell straight away that his passion for film was extraordinary, as it look literally moments to get onto the topic of our least favorite Star Wars […]
Moving to uni gives you a great opportunity to leave all those hindrances behind and start an annoyance free life (almost.) Personally, I was so happy to say goodbye to my noisy – but lovely – neighbours, painfully slow Wi-Fi, and a rural location where Freeview is people’s answer to “extensive entertainment”.

Who and What am I? Well hello there! My name is Rhys and I’m in my first year here at the University of Salford, studying BA Broadcast Journalism. Just a little bit about me; I talk too much, I party too much, and yes mum, I do get all my work done. As a member […]

Remnant Li Xinxi moved to the UK from his home in China to study MSc Real Estate and Property Management at our School of the Built Environment. As his graduation approaches, I thought it would be a great opportunity to meet with him to find out what it’s really like, being an international student at […]
