Press Feature
Earlier this month, the Northern Society had the pleasure of being featured in the Yorkshire Evening Post in an article exploring how northern students build community while studying away from home. The piece highlights the value of shared identity, familiar voices, and the sense of belonging that many students find through the society.
We are delighted to share the full feature here, alongside reflections from our committee, as a celebration of the people who make the Northern Society what it is — a warm and welcoming home for students from across the North.
