It’s midterm season again, and you know what that means: no sleep, no appetite and no motivation! To help you get out of the house and out of the stacks, I’ve compiled a list of the best places to study across the Dal and King’s campuses. The Wardy from 4-8pm As you probably already know, […]
If you’ve noticed a heavier police presence around campus the past few weeks, here’s why: The Watch has confirmed that a 22 year-old man from Dartmouth was arrested on King’s campus on Nov. 2, after police responded to a report of a gun visible in the backseat of a car parked by the gym. Director […]
I’m not sure about you folks, but around this time of year, I’m looking for opportunities to blow off some steam. Rather than doing the regular university student thing – getting too drunk, crying in your prof’s office, binge-watching the new season of Big Mouth on Netflix – going for a light jog in the […]
New students, welcome to Nova Scotia! Old students, welcome back! This year I’ve decided to dedicate some time to make sure that King’s students are spending more time outside and with nature. To do that, I’m forcing myself to get outside more too, giving you first-hand experience of all of the locations I recommend. So […]
The journalism school made a major cut in the summer of 2017 by choosing to no longer provide two of the three streams available for the journalism master’s (MJ).

Alternative titles: Happy Hanu-FYP, Joyous Kwanz-FYP, Happy holi-king’s, etc. Alright friends, it’s that time of year again. After the stress that went into completing exams, working 14 part-time jobs and somehow managing to make it through the month of November with only $40 in your bank account, you now get to go home and spend […]
It’s been a great year King’s. Through all the ups and downs this year, I’m really proud of the position that the Watch is currently in both financially and socially. We’re leaving the year with a $6,000 surplus, which I think is grat for the upcoming year. I’m hoping that next year we will be able […]
I had the opportunity to sit down with King’s President, Bill Lahey, to discuss his first year on campus. Here are some of his favourite memories from the year, and what he’s looking forward to in 2017/2018. Q: How does it feel now that your first year is coming to an end? A: It’s hard […]
I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the Halifax Woman’s March on Washington earlier today, and see the fight for gender equality first hand with over 2,000 people in attendance. Women, men and children gathered at the Grand Parade to fight for the equal rights of women all over the world, and to […]
