Seeing all the Christmas lights spring up around town has made me super-hyped for Christmas this year. With all the cheesy Christmas songs constantly stuck in my head, I can’t think of what better way to unleash that festive feeling than by going to as many Student Community Action (SCA) Christmas events as possible!
There are…
Psychology student Katy interviewed Flo, a Liberal Arts student, who recently performed in Sweeney Todd, a musical produced by DULOG (Durham University Light Opera and Musical Theatre Group). Read on to find out more about her experience of auditions and performing:

Coming from Hong Kong, I was ready for big change when I stepped into the UK. Durham seemed like the perfect polar opposite of the incessant and busy urban life that Hong Kong is so well known for. Huge crowds of businessmen and people rushing to get to work in the morning? Not here. Here in Durham, you can literally hear the…
After taking part in the first Durham Business Game last March, I was inspired to get involved in Entrepreneurs Durham, the society that organises the event. I would like to share the experience that myself and my fellow students had whilst competing in the Business Game, and encourage anybody who is interested to get…
Friday 11th November was one of the happiest days I have spent here in Durham as of yet. Not only was it the day I turned 19, and actually the first time I have ever spent my birthday away from my family in Somerset, but it was the day I realised just how much Durham itself now feels like a home away from home.
After a…
It’s 6.30am on a Monday morning. November. It’s pitch black outside, freezing, and the bin-men have hardly finished collecting the rubbish. You’re about to get a lift – if you’re very lucky – or perhaps even the X12 bus; if you’re a fresher, you’re probably walking under the streetlights, without a car…
I am one of the privileged few who got selected for both a BP STEM+ Award and BP Women in Science Award, a cash prize of £500 each. So I had to spend £1000 in such a way that benefits me and does some good to someone else in the society. For those who don’t know what a BP Award is, it is an initiative by British…
This summer a group of daring Durham University students will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro – the world’s tallest free standing mountain! This is all in the name of charity, providing clean water to thousands of people. And guess what, YOU can be there!
Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the most impressive sights in Africa and…
Merit360: a programme that empowers youth to address the Sustainable Development Goals
3rd November 2016
Over 16 days in August and September, I was lucky enough to be a participant on the first ever Merit360 programme in the United States – a programme that will continue to be delivered until 2030 in partnership with the United Nations.
Merit360 is a programme to engage global youth to tackle the United Nations Sustainable…
If you think that autumn is just the time of year that the leaves change and nothing else exciting happens – think again. First term is the time to explore and meet new people before exam prep and summatives really set in. There is so much going on in Durham at this time of year, so make the most of it (clue – a lot of…
