Home Students Day is a chance to unwind, meet other home and commuting students, and take part in relaxed activities across campus. Whether you can join us for one event or pop in throughout the day, everything is free and drop-in friendly.
Activities will include a morning coffee and crafts session with the SRC, a Pickleball taster with GUSA, a casual games tournament at the GUU, some cosy board games with QMU, and an end-of-day pizza social back at the SRC.
This is your chance to explore campus spaces, connect with other students, and have a bit of fun in the run-up to exams. Everyone is welcome, but the event is especially aimed at students living at home or commuting into university.
