A Credit Crunch task lay before me. My mission, should I choose to accept it, was as follows: for a mere £5 I needed to find an ISoc event that would tick every box, and in short be what every other event wished it could be. The event needed to include a three course meal, two inspiring Islamic lectures and one international poet and attract students from every ISoc in London.

An unusually luminescent radiograph is what first caught my eye as I walked into the exhibition room. You could forgive me, then, for thinking I had walked into the wrong place.

Love is important, but in our most important relationship, the passion seems to have seeped away…

Charity week is now drawing to a close and after the week of sustained unity, activity and charity it's nice to see how one ISocer takes stock. Read on for an insight into UCL ISocs experience…

Do you find that you know more about Gandhi than Ghazzali, or about WW II than Ain Jalut? Then read on to find out an interesting date in our history that most of us are in the dark about…

This year I went to GPU like every other year. So many of us have complaints about certain parts (unless you're a nasheed artist) so I thought I'd put mine down here in an article. What would you like to change about GPU?
