Print Comment Editor Kamila Bell gives us her tried-and-tested tips on tackling the fabled Freshers’ Flu I was five weeks into my first year of uni, five weeks of almost consecutive nights out followed by mornings of regret, when I awake one day to discover that my Deliveroo order is not subsiding my banging headache […]
Freshers Week
OOD – Figuring out the Freshers’ Fair
I may not have found a grey hair yet – only an oddly yellow one from my disastrous attempt to go ginger – but this year marks my third, and presumably final Freshers’ Fair. Instead of wandering around as hopelessly as a cloud in a June sky, it would have very much helped my first […]
Those post-Freshers blues
Freshers Week; the beginning of a new independent life away from home, or merely the start of yet another academic year. It is exciting, exhausting and jam packed full of super fun things. But what happens when you finally come to a stop; as it starts to dawn on you that you are now a […]

The Ghosts of Freshers Past
Oh Fresher’s Week. The gateway to a year of university life, an opportunity to blow off steam before the hard work begins or, in my case, get horrifically drunk to mask the fact I was shitting myself with nerves and end up not being able to look half of Lafrowda in the eye. In comparison […]

Let me be the first to say two things: Firstly, welcome! to probably the best university in the world, as those bumper stickers from the 90s still, for […]
Agony Art: freshers’ fears, tips, and tricks
As a fresher myself not that long ago, I know there are probably a few things occupying your mind at the moment: What if it turns out I hate my course? What if my flatmates don’t watch Bake Off??? Will my pet remember my face when I come home? All of the above. If any […]
Cheers, Exeter! An International Experience
Coming to Exeter has been the best and worst decision of my life. Believe me. The University of Exeter. “So where is it in London?” “Is it good?” “Where does it rank in the UK?” – just a few of many weird, yet entertaining questions that my family from back home asked when I broke […]
The Pen from Penryn: The Importance of Ghostbusters
Exeter’s Streatham campus has a university cinema. When looking, rather enviously, at the listings for this upcoming term, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was such a good range of options. Although Captain America: Civil War passes dubiously, Finding Dory and The Nice Guys all pass the Bechdel Test, which just about makes […]
