SU facilities on Campus
The main SU building, the Tanlaw Mill, is the recreational and social centre of the University. There are common rooms with pool tables, video games, television and video lounge with Satellite TV.
Next to The Refectory, you'll also find The Bar. A hive of activity, day and evening, you'll come here to meet up with friends, make new ones, dance the night away, watch a Sky TV sporting fixture, play pool, or borrow cards, dominoes or even Scrabble from behind the bar!
On the Verney Park campus, you'll find common rooms and the Students' Union Cellars, which you can hire for parties.
SU societies
A wide range of student societies are affiliated to the SU. On the academic side this includes the Law Society which invites prominent speakers to lecture on a regular basis and organises trips and events of interest to its members.
Our multi-national student community has formed a number of overseas clubs, which promote cultural events and provide a fascinating insight into their various life styles. Why not set up your own when you come here? Contact the Student Union Office for more details.
