Take a look back at a fantastic year at Middlesex - which memories will be staying with you?
1. The whole of Freshers fortnight!
But the masked ball...what a night:

3. When RAG’s Children in Need day launched a record-breaking year of fundraising
...and RAG charities are now £30,000 better off!
4. Reverend Jesse Jackson’s address to you all

15. ..and when students made this amazing a video about taking the power back
(Just in case you planned not to vote in the May 2014 local elections!)
MDX says VOTE! #takepower from MDXSU TV on Vimeo.
16. The first ever student-led Teaching Awards
There wasn’t a dry eye in the house after hearing all those nominations
17. The packed-out Frozen halls film screening
Everyone let exam revision go!
18. The dawn of a new, green era for student gardeners
MDXSU took the keys to your new allotment in May - next year's veg crop is going to be something special!
So there we go, 18 amazing moments - and that's just the highlights of the highlights. Hearing our Radio MDX DJs quizzing Conservative MP Matthew Offord live on air, seeing MDXSU Presdient Sayed Alkadiri campaign and win low cost food on campus, and seeing dozens of students train up to become Student Voice Leaders were all pretty special too.
But enough about our faves - share your own #MDXmoments on Facebook or Twitter!
