The Napier student experience, sober clubbing/student life, a little bit of fashion and a little bit of dating.

  • Rebecca is a third year student at Edinburgh Napier University, studying Digital Media and Interaction Design BSc. She writes specifically about the Napier experience, and wants to make The Tab more inclusive to all students in Edinburgh.
  • Aside from starting to write for The Tab, Rebecca works in an Escape Room, as a Barista and Bartender at EUSA, as a photographer, and as part of a research organisation, as a collaborator, that looks into links between Autism and Eating Disorders.
  • Rebecca grew up in London, and moved to Edinburgh, for university in 2022. This was a hard thing to do, but also one of the best things she has ever done.
