If you’re thinking of escaping to Europe for your third year, you better make sure you’ve got some stories to tell when you get back. You can get from Paris to Venice in just over 9 hours, and considering the high standard of European railways, you’d be mad to miss out on opportunities like these!
1. At home you relied on your parents for sustenance and in halls you lived off the calories in the alcohol, but if you’re travelling abroad, you need to know how to handle yourself in the kitchen.

Monday, 22 March 2010With so many people arriving from across the globe in 2012, we will be shaken out of our complacent notion that the only language we need to speak is English. The two official languages of the Olympic movement are English and French, but games have recently become more multilingual. Language skills will therefore be vital for the Olympic Games. The good news is that they'll be recruiting in two years time - those of you studying languages right now will be precisely the kind of people they'll be on the look out for in 2012.
