So summer is almost over and that can only mean one thing – freshers week is just around the corner. Hard to believe it’s going to be my fourth round at one of the biggest weeks on Dundee’s social calendar. For a lot of people who have just left school and got their place at university (congratulations) […]
Hey guys! It’s been almost 5 months since my last post and yes, I have been given the opportunity to continue writing about my journey in Dundee for another year; which is awesome btw! Ok, to start with a quick update: my exam results came, didn’t do as well as I would have wanted but […]
Hello! Since this is my first blog post I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Stuart, I’m from Glasgow but currently living in Dundee and studying MA Economics with Spanish at UoD. Now going into my fourth year at uni, I moved to Dundee about three years ago, having left school at the […]
So far this year we have been blessed with some beautiful weather here in Dundee, so with the semester drawing to a close I’ve highlighted some places you can visit once those all-important exams are over and (hopefully) the sun is shining- after a celebratory drink and catching up on all that sleep, of course!

On Monday evening my book history and publishing class took a trip to the University archives, located in the basement of Tower Building on campus. This was actually my first ever visit to the archives, although I know other subjects make much better use of the facilities offered there. I, for one, definitely wish I […]
3…2…1…Blast off! The ‘Love Your Mug’ initiative launches on Monday, March 20 – will you be along for the ride?

Happy International Women’s Day! Today is all about celebrating diverse, inspirational, opinionated, talented and all-round amazing women- as well as hopefully encouraging people to get involved in the Feminist movement (in whatever way that may be).
