Hello everyone!

Today is just a short post :) Dissertation season and summer is now coming to an end…I cannot believe it is already September (starting tomorrow) and that it will be fall!  New students will be arriving in just over a month, and the town will once again be booming with students!  Once we all finish our dissertations, we then wait for the results for a couple of months.  In those months, I will be hanging out in Durham doing LOTS of student activities, without actually having to do any uni work! It will be the first fall/winter in YEARS that I have not had end of term work, which will be quite the new adventure!  If you are a new student, check out all of our social media as it will help you loads for when you arrive!  You are more than welcome to contact us on here, and one of the student ambassadors will get back to you!  Hopefully you are getting just as excited as I am for the new student arrivals and we will be able to welcome you soon!

Cheers

Leila
