Your student newspaper
Welcome to a new year at Queen’s, and welcome also to your brand new Gown website.
Through this website, The Gown will bring you regular student news and gossip, as well as all the latest from the Belfast entertainment scene, engaging features, and QUB sport analysis.
Building on our previous blog, you are again able share your views on stories by posting comments, but you now have the chance rate other people’s comments using our ‘thumbs up/down’ system. You can also take part in our topical student polls to instantly get your view heard on an issue.
More than ever before, The Gown helps you to keep in touch with student news and events: You can sign up for free news updates via RSS or email, and our fortnightly newspapers are available in PDF format through our ‘downloads’ page. You can also join the growing Gown community by following us through our new Facebook, Bebo and Twitter networks.
As for the newspaper, it is now available for free every Monday fortnight across the Queen’s campus. Click here to find the pick-up point most convenient to you.
The Gown is written by and for students, so we’d love you to get involved. Over the next year, tell about your student experiences: What do you like/loathe about student life? What issues are important to you? What achievements are you proud of?
Better yet, why don’t you contribute to the paper? Our office is on the top floor of The Union, so feel free to call in to have a chat. You can also contact us via email.
If you eventually manage to stumble through the Qsis registation system, good luck with the new term, and know that the colourful hurdles of University life will always be covered in The Gown- your student newspaper.

Sound good Gownies, but I s’pose we’ll have to wait and see whether or not you can keep it up…
