[Tom Boon | Contributing Writer] Club de Havilland has received 1 out of 5 rating for food hygiene. Some people see eating out as a treat. You go for a meal, order your food, then it arrives. The thing is, do you really know what goes into preparing your food?

Well let’s just start from the why did I choose Erasmus?

My primary objective was actually to go to America, the land of dreams, whe

For this issue of UniVerse we’ve decided to have a Committee Takeover, allowing other members to try out different parts of the Committee, in preparation for the team next year! As you can see I have taken over as Print Editor and it hasn’t been easy! Kealie Mardell has been my Media Guru throughout the whole process but I have really enjoyed putting this issue together. So to introduce the rest of the Takeover Committee, we have Jennie Couling as our Design sub editor, Olive

[Mercedes Brazier | Sports Sub Editor] 12 days, 17 hours and 13 minutes. Its been a long 12 days; with assignments due, language tests, reading, and weekly work to do, giving up my LRC snack has been tougher than I thought! I first told my housemates after signing up for this task, as I assumed they would try and talk me out of it before I had committed to the idea. They try and talk me out of a lot; like when I tried to give up dairy, and the time I tried to cut out the dedi

FOR: In Defence of Superfoods [Mercedes Brazier | Sports-Sub Editor] There is a range of definitions for superfoods and their benefits, there are debates amongst nutritionists and scientists as to what foods are classed as superfoods and why.

This year, at the University of Hertfordshire, we are putting on the pantomime ‘Robin Hood: A Game of Crowns’. It’s going to be a great show, as well as a laugh for all the audience. “It’s going well,” said Director Stephanie Gallimore. “We’ve had a few stumbles but it’s picking up pace, ready for t

[Mercedes Brazier | Sports Editor] As students fast food is a necessity sometimes; we all know it, there is no point in denying that you don’t sneak to McDonalds after a heavy night out, or nip to KFC when your housemates don’t want to cook. That’s fine it’s not the end of the world, but when you go to an event; which could be a music gig, a theme park, a fair etc. You’re not given a choice as to whether to eat the junk food or not. Junk food has become a part of our culture,
