Yes, we get our student loan and many of us don’t take life too seriously as we enjoy our final years without major responsibility. My aunt will often ask me how I do it; concert here, night out there… a little trip to Barcelona. But that was last year and the year before… this year

So, as a final year student, that’s just about survived first semester, I thought I would pass on some tips to future final years in the fab Jordanstown UU.
