Wagwan, fam. I just wrote that to attract attention, I don’t know what it actually means. I was recently passed down the ashes of what was formerly known as ‘The Medwire’, the independent student magazine for the Medway campus, and wasn’t entirely sure what to do. I know there are some second years interested in […]

Anyone who passionately feels they want to become a ‘conflict reporter’ should seriously read this article about a forthcoming film documentary “Under Fire” on the subject of war reporting and the psychological effects it has on those at the Front-Line.

Every time I meet someone from a different country I ask them to teach me a card game from their homeland. It’s a wonderful piece of cultural tradition that lets me learn something about a place I’ve never been to, and it’s a good bit of fun! I’ve learnt how to play games from all […]
