You Are More Than Your Studies
With exams and coursework deadlines approaching, you will be pleased to find out that we will be running our campaign again this summer to help you to relax and remind you that while your university work is important, you are more than your studies and you deserve time to relax and re-energise between deadlines.
The timetable is shaping up to be another cracker, with visits from adorable dogs and farm animals, plus favourites such as our Postgrad Power Teas and meditation classes to help you stay chilled as you smash that work out. Here’s what you can expect:

Revision Space
Meeting Rooms 2 and 3, Building 42, Highfield campus
We know that finding space to revise and work isn’t as easy as it sounds. With noisy housemates, full library spaces and the temptation to become distracted at home can leave you feeling as though there isn’t anywhere to crack on. That’s why we’ve booked out our meeting rooms as dedicated revision spaces for you to use to your heart’s content. No need to book, just turn up, enjoy some free snacks which we have strategically left for when you need a little boost and get going!
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Monday 22 May – 09 June
Chill Out Space
Bar 2, Building 42, Highfield campus
If you want a quiet moment to relax, procrastinate or bury your head in the sand – we can help with that too! While we don’t recommend that you leave things until the last minute, sometimes a little break may be just what you need. Head to the beanbags in Bar 2 for a chance to sit, watch a boxset and relax.
