As an international student in London, I completely understand the struggle of living on a student budget and still finding ways to do the things you love. One of my favourite student-friendly adventures was going to the Bodleian Library exhibit on JRR Tolkien in Oxford at the end of October 2018. I’m a huge Tolkien…

Christmas is coming, and in London terms, that heralds Hyde Park Corner Station becoming a nightmare. Why? Winter Wonderland is back.

Reflecting the amazing diversity of issues and applications that can be addressed through the study of anthropology, the second year study trip within the module ‘Cultural Politics on Tour’, took to the road again this autumn in Northern Ireland. During the delivery of the module in the lecture rooms at Roehampton, students are introduced to…

Autumn will soon give way to Winter, and the weather has certainly turned cooler. The Annual nationwide fireworks displays, given, I understand, to celebrate the eve of my joining the University on 6 November last year, are over. So what did October bring? We didn’t see many long distance migrants but there was still plenty of…

With a new year at Roehampton underway, everything is getting seriously busy. Staying in the loop is a key to success, as you’ll be among the first to know about events, opportunities, updates and maybe even a bargain or two. Make sure you know the difference between the University and the Students’ Union, legitimate pages…

Since the new Library opened last year, it has won awards, housed events, and had 33,388 visitors in the first three weeks of term alone – that’s 47% more than in the previous year! Whilst it undeniably looks incredible, it also is invaluable to our students, staff and community, with resources, facilities and opportunities that…

Through its four colleges and fourteen listed buildings, the University of Roehampton has its fair share of ghostly goings-on. Aside from the eerie 119 bodies buried on main campus, Whitelands College has been providing higher education to women for longer than any other institution in the country, and with that 177 year legacy, has conjured…

Students and staff alike filed in as I waited at the front of the room with my student co-interviewer and author Anthony Horowitz. When I first volunteered to help interview Anthony I felt quite nervous. I had a list of questions I was meant to ask, and I was trying to make sure I would…

When catching up at the beginning of term, some lively exchanges can often emerge around the topic of “What did you get up to this summer?”. Those from the Roehampton Life Sciences cohort of 15 students that participated in ‘Conservation, People and Wildlife: South African Field Course’, an optional student-funded module, would have had a head…

Wimbledon BookFest has come to an end for another year, and we’re already missing its buzz. From Graham Norton to Nadiya Hussain, via Reggie Yates and Suzannah Lipscomb, the bill was packed with engaging speakers and exciting events, drawing in crowds from across the country to Wimbledon Common. As principal sponsors of BookFest, we sent…

When major aspects of our lives come to an end, we start to appreciate and miss it more than ever. In my experience, this certainly rings true when you graduate from the University of Roehampton. Personal Tutor I had a great relationship with my personal tutor, and there’s no shame in admitting you will miss…
