SOCIETIES» SCIENCE & TECH»There is no doubt that the hologram of the late Tupac was very emotive and has clearly captured the imaginations of attending fans. It is tempting to "get my geek on" and explain how the performance works, but in all honesty, it's not that complicated and other writers have already done an excellent job of this.Read more...

SPORTS»With deadlines looming, and exams slowly but surely creeping their way in, it’s very easy to forget what the summer season is actually about. However!

OPINION & ANALYSIS»The creation of an Armed Forces Day demonstrates a growing consciousness of the role of the military, and it is a step in the right direction in allowing us to honour their dedication.

The Horrors of Halls
Published 17th May 2012
Last September, freshers enthusiastically drove into loading bays and were hurriedly moved into halls with the help of Fresher Angels. Although many were nervous, the idea of living with other students, in a space absent of nagging Mums and vigilant Dads, was one of great excitement.Read more...
The Heart of the Circus
Published 15th May 2012

Seriously, Where´s My Money?
Published 15th May 2012
By the time this goes to print, most of us will hopefully have a much prettier looking current account. Finally! Before the money was even safely into my account, I’d made big plans for my incoming funds and went to bed with dreams of rolling around in scattered £20 notes.Read more...

It is not uncommon to hear the phrase “ah, the good old days”, voiced among older generations overcome with nostalgia as they lament dusty memories, when children could play safely outside and families ate dinner at a table, absent of phones ringing or televisions blaring. It is inevitable that people look back to their own eras with fond memories, reminiscing the best music, television, fashion and general ways of life.Read more...

Stella Does Sport
Published 29th Apr 2012
As one of the least sporty people in the world, I have no interest what so ever in taking part in some sort of sports event. I am so un-sporty that one of my friends only believed that I had cycled around Hyde Park after seeing photographic evidence.Read more...
Rule Britannia?
Published 29th Apr 2012
What makes Britain British? Our national identity is in flux. With a country so racially, culturally, religiously and ideologically diverse, is there any one way to define being British? There are the obvious answers of living here or being born here, but these don’t really define a national identity in any way.Read more...
Is it the end of the world if a student doesn’t take a placement year?
Published 29th Apr 2012
The placement year: one of the reasons why a lot of us chose Surrey as the university to spend the three/four years of our higher education at. A chance to gain work experience - for our CVs and our industry knowledge, a chance to form contacts and make ourselves that little bit more employable.Read more...
