We are delighted to announce the three winners of our search for JC new student bloggers this year. The standard was so high that we couldn't decide between the final three, so have picked all of them, instead of the two we expected.

So, this year, look forward to reading the thoughts of Asha Sumroy, Jamie Rodney and Orli West.

Asha is a first year student at Durham University, where she is studying Sociology.

Jamie has just started his third year at St Andrew University, where he is studying English.

Orli is in her second year studying Education at Birmingham University.

Here are their winning blog posts, and their new, regular, posts begin later this week...
