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! […]
Hey everyone! Long time no blog, as I have been in somewhat of a dissertation-induced hibernation (i.e. only leaving my laptop to go to work and then straight back home again). This dissertation has been my baby for the past year and now it has finally flown the nest! Yay! I have now completed the […]
It’s almost near the end of the semester. And it’s time to crack down and get ready for examinations. At least for medics like me, we have only 7 more weeks before our exams. This means 2 things: Spending all your time in the library Trying to prepare food to feed yourself while at the […]
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 […]
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). I thought it would be appropriate to write a post on why Dundee, and UoD, is a great place […]
2017 has been running full speed ahead and let me tell you, I am on its heals. And I love it. At Dundee University, every day is a little different. A bit of this and a bit of that, and a lot of this and a lot of that. There is so much to do […]
Wait! Don’t go! It’s a fun post, not a political post, I promise. I think. I’ll make this quick so you can get right to the video. So, I do this rock climbing thing once or twice a week for a non-school-related challenge. I hope this montage inspires you to waltz your way over to […]
Nestled near the southeast corner of the Cairngorms National Park and about an hour’s drive from Dundee you will find, what most would call, a gem. A massive, frosty, glistening, gem. They call it Glenshee Ski Centre …or as I would refer to it, That Place That Tested My Patience. When most people hear I am from […]
Hello again! Since my last post I have been pretty busy and there has been a lot going on. I had a great time at a 21st birthday party for a work friend and fellow Dundee Uni student and I also received an offer of acceptance onto the Postgrad Masters course I had applied for!! […]
