After a week of activities at
the University campuses, our new students headed into Northampton town centre
to start to get to know their new home town.
Given a map to help them
navigate, the students walked from Avenue campus to the town centre. They visited a number of key sites within the
town, and collected some information on the large-scale investment currently
taking place in the town. Students
visited the new North GateBus Station, considered the strengths and weaknesses of
de-pedestrianisation in Abington Street, and identified issues that would be of interest to
geographers and environmental scientists.
It was then back to the Newton
building at Avenue campus to end the week with a BBQ. Classes start today…
