Going to university can be an amazing time in your life that’s packed full of new experiences. Some of these experiences you may have expected, and some may come as a surprise. Either way, it’s a great opportunity to learn and grow as a person, and develop resilience for dealing successfully with challenges in the […]
To inspire you, our current students have put together a series of videos for healthy meal ideas perfect for university. The energy that eating healthily gives you can really help you make the most of your time at university – both when you’re studying, and when you’re not! Breakfast – Summer Fruit Bowl Lunch – […]
One of the most peculiar feelings about coming to the end of my time at university has been that it feels like the past three years have been an absolute blur but also a period of such exciting change in my life. One minute I was plopping my suitcase down on my bed in a […]
It’s not everyday you walk into the theatre to be welcomed with a sheet of music, a pencil, and an apple. But the night of “Concerto” was no typical piece of theatre. The production of ‘Concerto’, by Michael Pinchbeck, was created to ‘take you on a journey, and bring you back home again’: and boy, […]

Everyone tells you that university will be the ‘best years of your life’. Which, for some people, may be the case: becoming properly independent for the first time; living largely by your own schedule; meeting new and exciting people; and studying something that interests you – with plenty of time for socialising in between! But […]
As our first trimester has rolled in, New Adelphi Theatre’s autumn and winter season has premiered, promising some incredible shows, cosy film screenings, and cheap comedy nights.

It’s no surprise to anyone that being a creative writing student and being a bookworm go hand in hand. My course, English Language and Creative Writing, involves a lot of reading both non-fiction and fiction but I am extremely grateful for it as sometimes it gives me a good reason to spend a Friday night […]
Student life can be quite hectic sometimes – juggling your workload, social life, commuting and any part time jobs or volunteering you might do on the side.

According to the Mental Health Foundation, it is estimated in the UK that 1 in 6 people experience a common mental health problem every week – ranging from stress, grief, frustration and sadness, or […]
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. Pittsburgh-based dance company Bodiography aims to break these conventions within ‘Dance with US’. The show held in the New Adelphi Theatre was a night of absolutely stunning pieces that told stories and even included incredible […]
