Each month the moderators nominate and vote for the Member of the Month award, which is given to members in recognition of their contributions to the site. The winner receives recognition via the About forum and the TSR blog, credits for a month’s subscription to TSR and a £10 Amazon voucher.
From now on we will also be accepting nominations from members each month. If you know of someone who has made a valuable contribution to TSR, let us know and nominate them for the Member of the Month award! Anyone at all can nominate, you just need to tell us the username of the member you are nominating and why they are worthy of the award.
Nominate a member here!

74 members entered the TSR transformation content, a community led idea to get fit and shape up in the new year.
We have been lucky enough to team up with MaxiRAW, the sister company of MaxiMuscle who have generously provided 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes for both male and female categories, for those that make the most impressive body transformation in a safe, healthy way.
As well as this, MaxiRAW will be judging the entrants and are also offering 2x FREE samples for anyone interested.
Check out the TSR Transformation Contest forum and feel free to follow people’s progress and wish them luck!

In response to member feedback and requests, we have created a new
‘Learning to Drive’ forum for learner drivers to discuss any and all aspects of learning to drive from finding an instructor to passing the test. We’re really excited about this new forum and hope that you like it too
You may also have seen that the ‘Motoring Projects’ forum no longer exists. Threads from this forum have been merged into the main
Motoring forum which is where these topics will live from now on.
We have also listened to your requests to organise the threads and content on insurance queries in a better way and will be working on some solutions. Keep an eye out for further updates…
Let us know what you think of the new forum
here!
Happy New Year everyone!
It’s been a fantastic, action packed year on the site and just reading back through the blog is reminding me of things that we got up to! We teamed up with UCAS, supported Beach Break live, had an amazing results day and clearing period, partnered with select committees and launched our first TSR newsletter… to name but a few!
We have a feeling 2012 will be even more action packed 
Look out for site improvements, TSR on your mobile as well as lots of great partnerships happening on the site. Can’t wait!
To see in the new year we have also published the winners of the TSR Awards 2011 
The member of the year as nominated and voted by members went to Ape Gone Insane. Congratulations!
Check out the 20 other awards, winners and runners up. Well done to all!
We are collecting your views on proposals for change put forward by UCAS.
One of the most significant changes would be to apply to university AFTER you get your grades, not before based on predictions.
What do you think?
Share your views on the porposed changes to UCAS application system
You have until Monday the 16th of January and we’ll be passing back all the opinions to UCAS.
thank you

The Student Room is proud to announce that their 6 ‘tache-tastic Movember participants raised an incredibly impressive £980! They didn’t just rock the face fuzz for style points, but for a great cause too…
During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in the UK and around the world. The aim of which is to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men.
Find out more about Movember and maybe take part next year
Those that didn’t take part also donned the fake ‘tache to show our support!
As the year draws to a close, you know what’s coming…
