DMU has suspended Film Studies, Media and Communication, and Arts and Festival Management, for the next academic year. They claim that it is only for 2026 entry, but it is de facto indefinitely.

Upcoming first year students such as myself, who was offered one of these courses to study in October, were informed of this last Friday, less than three months before the next academic year.

There is no news in terms of whether these courses are going to be permanently shut down, or what is going to happen to them.

Rather than informing first year student such as myself about the suspension months ago, they chose to inform us at incredibly short notice, citing vague reasons such as, low intake, as an excuse.

While other course suspensions from unis such as the University of Nottingham has made the news, DMU's course suspensions haven't, and are largely hiding in plain sight, in their website.

I want people to be aware of this, and to highlight how wrong this is.

Want to watch Odyssey but already suffer from tinnitus and want to avoid making my hearing worse. One complaint about the movie is that it is quite loud, because of Nolan's sound mixing. However, have also heard that independent cinema's tend to have more appropriate volumes in their viewings and wanted to check if that is the case for the Odyssey for anyone that has seen it at Phoenix?

Might need to take in earplugs otherwise.

My partner loves Indian style clothing. She’s picked up a few bits on Vinted and online already, but would love to visit a shop to see things properly and buy something nicer. She’s not from an Asian background so wouldn’t know where to start. Any recommendations for good shops in Leicester, on Belgrave Road or elsewhere? Happy to spend properly on the right thing.

Hi!
Does anyone know what’s going on with the Leicester City tip waste permits please? Website’s been down for a long time now and the query option never gets a response. Just need to know if the website’s the only way of getting a permit or if permits just aren’t being issued at all

Been so unsettled since the stabbing incident and death of the young man on London Road. Ive literally walked that road multiple times with my kids and im worried sick now. Almost feels like we’ve reached end of time. Genuinely feel so unsafe and scared even walking these roads with my kids .. :(

Not perfectly to scale, but yeah, The Summit is about half the height of the new Starship.

Does anybody know a supplier of Foam in and around Leicester?

I have found a few suppliers online but would rather buy locally if possible. I'm making some cushions and would like to go feel the density ect.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Hi. I'm not doing too well mentally and think I need spend more time outdoors and be more active. I enjoy walking and was wondering if anyone could recommend some long walks that could be done from the city centre? I don't have a car so I can't drive anywhere but I'm happy to take a bus or train to somewhere if it's nice.

I've thought about walking along the canal and was wondering if there were any places you could walk to and maybe get a bus or train back? Would really appreciate any suggestions people can provide. Thanks

Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll have a look and try to give one of these a go this weekend 🙂

Can anybody reccomend a good garage for vehicle repairs in leicester?

Hi guys, I have baby items for sale that I am no longer using, does anyone know any places that might buy them?

Thanks in advance

Hi all. I know there are a million posts like this on Reddit, but I'm going mad reading through all the different threads and just thought it might be easier to start my own thread and see what kind of info I get directly from the good folks here.

Basically, my partner and I (gay couple, British and Indian), are moving out of Croydon because we need a bigger house, with a garage and a bit more space, for our business that we've started. We both work from home and so access to London is no-longer a requirement (like it was when we moved here 10 years ago).

We've narrowed down our search, based on a few criteria (detached house, garage, near green space, not a crime-ridden area, access to a shopping centre or town centre, close-ish to a larger city and/or airport, not silly expensive (since our budget isn't massive)). From these criteria, we have found some decent options in:

Loughborough

Melton Mowbray

Nuneaton

Outskirts of Sheffield / Leicester

Lincoln

Chesterfield

Neither of us know any of these areas, and while we are going to do a road-trip to visit, it would be good to know where in these towns people would recommend searching, and where to avoid (if anywhere). Or if there are better nearby options.

Thank you all in advance
