It was a beautiful thing to watch — University of Otago students come out in force to clean, rather than party yesterday.
Hundreds of them swarmed Castle St with rubbish bags, brooms and shovels to clean up the vast array of refuse, including maggot-infested rubbish, cans, broken glass, even broken beds.
While some of the smells left some students gagging, others such as Eliza Goldsmith took it in their stride.
