A Living Student Stereotype

By Liv Evans — September 8, 2009

I feel more like a student at home than I do in York.

Let’s face it – at some point, you will definitely need to escape the bubble of campus life at York. The 60s concrete, dirty lake and evil black swans do certainly have their charms but there’s a whole other world out there down the road from Vanbrugh Palace, not least when there is an essay [...]

York by Night

By Liv Evans — September 2, 2009

Katie Price, Marmite and the nightlife in York. What links the three? Sadly, not some rather amusing anecdote about Jordan coming a-cropper with a sandwich in Ziggy’s, but the rather more cliché-d truth of “you either love it or you hate it”.

Barging into student rooms without permission is not the way to go about an enquiry

By Liv Evans — April 3, 2009

The disappearance of Claudia Lawrence is a tragic and worrying story. It is one that will have troubled any free-spirited student who blithely assumed that York is a place of low crime where it is perfectly safe to stagger home drunkenly after a night out if money for taxi fare has mysteriously disappeared. I doubt [...]
