Students are starting to pack their belongings to go back home, as the first term is coming to an end. What will campus be like?
At Marjon University, the campus is always lively with lots of exciting events and activities going on, however, over the Christmas break it may become very quiet.
Majority of students and staff will go back home to spend quality time with their friends and family over Christmas as lectures are finishing up. This will affect those that are staying, as they will quickly feel lonely and could unfortunately put a toll on their mental health.
The Christmas break is always a huge struggle for students here at Marjon for many reasons. Not only for the fact that it is lonely, but money is also a huge struggle over this period. With the next load of student loan coming out, everyone is running out of their last chunk of money. This is a huge issue for some of the students as they must turn to the reduced isles in supermarkets and maybe even cause them to cut down on their calorie intake.
What to do over Christmas at Marjon
If you find yourself stuck in your room with nothing to do, do not worry, there is plenty of things you can do to keep yourself entertained this Christmas.
To stay in the Christmas spirit, make your way down to the Christmas market here in Plymouth or even Exeter. Here, there is some great food to try and some lovely little shops to have a look around. It is a great day out and will really get you into the Christmas spirit.
Head down to barbican leisure centre! Kick your feet up and relax at the cinema down at Plymouth Barbican where you can watch a cosy Christmas film. What a great experience.
Plymouth’s famous club, ‘PRYZM’ claims it is closing down. Make the most of it by having a great night out there on New Years Eve. This will be Pryzm’s final night open, so is known to be a night to remember.
