What to look for in the students’ union at university
While you might think that your university’s students’ union is simply the SU bar, it’s actually much more than that. The SU represents students on all manner of issues, some of which go beyond the uni campus, branching out into the community and across the country. Alongside this, they can run events for students and ensure that they feel safe and heard by members of the university’s faculty. See? Much more than nights out at the SU bar!
