Students’ biggest issue is unclear, impersonal communication from the university. Vital information buried in Minerva and mass emails is overwhelming and easy to miss. As SU President, I’d expand phone support, drop-ins and face-to-face dialogue so students feel heard, reduce anxiety, resolve issues faster, and rebuild trust across the institution.

Something I have both experienced myself, and noticed amongst other students is how common being stressed and unhappy is. Creating more awareness of issues that students may be facing that affect their overall wellbeing and ensuring that meaningful and helpful support is both available and accessible will be so important.

There’s a real lack of connection in our University at the moment. Students just stick to their groups, anxious to interact with others. I will do my best to plan events that bring different people together based on what they love doing, to help create friendships outside their courses.

Worries about finances in a variety of different ways and to combat this I will ensure affordable events so all students can take part and enjoy their uni experience.
