Husband confesses affairs, then leaves (Rousse)
There was very little room in our crammed dormitory. My own bed was second from the window, next to that of JM. JG and NF were at the other end of the room, by the door. Between us were four … Continue reading →

Unique accommodation and party provision for Newcastle University students (Rousse)

The chaos of rapid expansion in UK higher education (Rousse)
The expansion of Queen Margaret University’s portfolio of courses was so rapid that its building could not cope with the additional student numbers. Indeed something had gone terribly wrong during the extra construction work and now many of the institution’s … Continue reading →

Belle’s birthday bash
