Fairhurst is closed yet York’s fourth round BNOCs still shine
Another dose of BNOCs
Megan TarbuckThe pubs and clubs are closed, we’re all social distancing and our last term of uni is over before it began. It’s only been a week and you’re probably starting to wonder how you and your siblings ever managed to live in the same house together for so long. Fairhurst revision dates seem like a distant memory, could we be missing the library already?
However, here we have a fresh batch of BNOC nominations for you to sit back and cast your vote on!
Your fourth round nominations are:

“Nice.”
Izzy Sims

Course: Social policy, crime and criminal justice
3 words to describe them: Funny, likeable, talkative
Why are they a BNOC?
